Here's my current workhorse as we're moving house - my £500 Xantia from eBay, which is see lurking in the new garage whilst I unload. That's going to be a studio when I'm done though - although the Clipper will live in it until I have a new roof.
I could post stories about most of the cars, but it'd be like War and Peace! The Allegro didn't make it to my 17th, so I generally regard the Chevette as my first car, and the cars in bold trace my "main" car. If there's no end date, I can't remember when it went, but I can usually remember why!

1991 XR2i (red) - I seriously wish I had kept that car. :cry: I sold it as the insurance groups changed at one stage and it was going to go up from £600 to £1700 (or something ridiculous) I spent my life negotiating with the police over my speed. I saw one for sale today and was going to go back for a look. Hubby said even it is being given away, I aint having it
I had a black XR2i - I wanted to hate it, I really don't like Fords, but I was picking it up for a car dealer friend, switched on the radio and there was a Human League tape in it; it was obscenely cheap, so I bought it for myself instead and really quite enjoyed it in the same way as I enjoyed Capris.
Ford's image was awful then, but it's cars like like that which contribute to the Focus etc. being taken seriously now!

1980 VW Polo L - brilliant little motor, and in silver looked quite tasty with the black grill and trim. Someone crashed into the back of it and damaged the rear quarter. Too expensive to repair according to insurer, so took the money, bought it off them and got it repaired professionally for a fraction. Drove it for another 2 yrs and sold it on to a mate who then gave it to his mum.
1986 Series 1 RS Turbo Custom - mum's car, but insured to drive which was a result. Loved it. Immaculate, great recaro's, went pretty well too. Always wanted to wheelspin in the wet. Stolen from a hospital car park when visiting - not pleasant. Worth a stack of cash now!!
1973 Triumph Spitfire - red. Top car. Every journey was an adventure because you didn't know if you'd make it to your destination! Saying that was dead reliable. Bodywork not so great tho, especially on the floors.
Then nothing for years due to being a student, then living in London so had a bike.
VW Golf GTI (Mk3) - often slated as heavy and slow (which it is), but I thought it was great. Reliable, comfortable but not a performance car. Had done 190,000 when i gave it away, still in good condition, and on the original clutch.
VW Golf GTI (MK1 16v) - lives in the garage waiting for the day it will get restored. Always wanted a mk1, and although this one ain't the best it'll give me chance to gain skills which was the intention. Whatever it takes, it'll get rebuilt. Not long now…….
VW Golf GTI (Mk2) - 8 valve in schwartz black. After a dodgy start to the relationship with engine probs, has turned out to be great fun and reliable (bit of a theme here) and up until recently (student again, so on SORN for a bit) has been used everyday. Tinkered a bit here and there and some suspension and engine mods (2L) lined up.
VW Golf V6 4Motion 5dr - when child number one arrived, it was time for the 3dr Mk3 to go. Looked around, nothing from other manufacturers took my fancy. Drove it, liked it, bought it. Metallic Black, black leather heated recaros, factory satnav, winter pack bla bla bla. Lot of car for the money. Silky engine, reassuring in all weather, but not set up for spirited driving, more for comfort I guess.
That's me so far
