Pure grunt power with a great exhaust note , nice  

1. 1984 Fiat Strada
2. 1983 Mk1 Golf GTi
3. 2000 Mk4 Golf Gti 1.8T
4. 1993 Peugeot 106 1.4 XND
5. 1983 Mk1 Golf Gti (current)

Do I get the wooden spoon  :dontknow:

Well, I know I ain't going to win this one as there are a good few of you that seem to be able to stash away collections a small museum would be proud of  

1. '71 VW Beetle 1300 (great car, and ran on 2 star petrol…. man that makes me feel old…)
2. '79 rust 'n' horrible BL blue coloured rubber bumper MGB (with a red bonnet from the scrappy!)
3. '87 VW Polo 1300CL (sold with 140K on it, probably still going somewhere)
4. '84 Fiat Panda 1000L (I swear it was made of baked bean tins)
5. '94 Honda Accord 2.0 16v LS (boring, but great engine)
6. '90 VW Jetta GTi 16v (ultimate Q car - looked identical to the GX, but went like stink)
7. '98 LHD New Beetle (very cool at the time, but dismal failure as an import and sell on at a profit venture with a mate :roll: ).
8. '99 Mk2 MX-5 10th Anniversary edition (one of my faves)
9. '92 Mk1 MX-5 SE
10. '83 Campaign Mk1 Golf Gti (current car)

Once finances improve though, I am hoping to make No.11 in the list one of these:



With Alfa V6 power it should have performance comparable to the original, and should make the perfect partner to the Mk1 (which of course I can never sell!!!!)

1976 Renault 5, 1st car rebuilt from a ?50 scrapper whilst learning to drive.
1981 Jetta Diesel Got me into VWs. Ran for 3 years.
1989 Peugeot 205 Diesel, 1st brand new car. Very expensive and basic. Good design but poorly built and dealers even worse.
1983 Mk1 Driver, ran for 5 years after getting rid of Peugeot.
1966 1300 Beetle, 1st hobby car
1990 MkII Driver, Ran for 5 years.
1977 Mini 1000, hobby car, turd brown and shows just how much fun can you have with 40bhp
1983 Mk1 Driver, hobby car, fettled and passed on to brother who still has it.
1982 MK1 GTI 1800, rebuilt from ?300 scrapper. Still got.
1997 Polo Diesel, expensive to service and failed all 3 MOTs I had it for, even though FVWSH, eventually gearbox went bang. Made me realise VWs after the 1980s are just another car.
2002 Renault Clio dCi. Current daily driver. In real terms cost probably half as much as the 205 did and has 10 times more bells and whistles.

I bet type 17 will be in with a good chance, judgng by his golf collection.

Ironically, according to the rules of this competition, only two of my Golfs qualify, as none of the others were ever registered in my name with the DVLA!

They were:

'82 Mk1 1.3CL (my first car, still have her)
'83 Mk1 GTI Campaign (my second car, still have her)

All of the other Golfs are either registered in my name with Irish DVLA equivalent, or are still in the names of their last owners (not driving, so no need unless/until they become roadworthy again)

Do I get a prize for never having sold a car? - I still have my three daily drivers (the two Golfs above, and my current Audi 80 Avant)

PS: By the age of 21 I had owned 28 bicycles! (my passion before Golfs), and still had 6 of them (still have 3 now).

Here goes to the best of my memory!

1961 MK1 Mini (Competition engine, damn quick but rusty!)
1982 MK1 Golf GL - Black
1965 MK1 Mini (Same engine as the 1st one, but not rusty! I cried when I sold it :cry: )
198? Vauxhall Astra
6-ish assorted other minis
197? Allegro (I had no car at the time and was given it - honest! - Damn comfy seats though!)
3xPeugeot 405 estates
5xPeugeot 406
1997 Peugeot 306 Gti6 (Went like you know what off a shovel!)
MK4 Golf Gti 2.0 (Non-turbo - bit of a barge)
1993 British Open Classic Mini - Low milage, full webasto roof - nice! 8)
BMW 318iSE (Still have but soon will morph into a 330d Sport Touring!)
and finally…MK! Golf Gti Campaign, Mars Red - maybe about to sell :cry:

I make that about 24
