First Car was..
Red Escort XR3 GVJ 303X mint condition 11 yr old ('92) 74k (issues with the step dad so had to sell it even though i was paying for the Ins it was in his name! real clean, sold it the day after i said for sale to someone i knew - put a bodykit on it! killed it after 9 months :|)
then:
White Mk1 Fiesta C489 NMO (put XR2 body kit & pepperpots on it, resprayed)
Red Mini Cabby (i know, i know) S491 VAX (had fun with the dist cap & timing, caning it once & had it on 2 wheels!! close call)
White Escort Van! A377 UWP (put Bilsteins on he front :lol: boarded out the back & used at times for a taxi for 8-10 of us (bit of a swerve at times!!!)
Pearl White Renault GT Turbo E3– VDP (Turbo went so sold & got the Cabby)
White Mk1 Golf GTI Cabby D742 GUC (the ex borrowed it after 4 weeks of buying - i won't say no more - cost me a lot of money)
Black Peugeot 405 SRi V87 — (5hi7e car)
Black Golf GTI 16v Mk111 R552 UBL - beast of a motor (130 mph 5.5k revs & still wanted more)
Blue Audi A4 TDi A40 NER nippy motor (another driver took out the side of it, done all the A pillar in - insurers wanted Ford to repair it! 6k quote repair! w/off!
Green Escort TD N633 OTG did the job, good engine - then somebody swiped the side of it  - good, turning off a dual
Silver Mondeo estate R162 VOH
Silver Passat Estate TDi V154 UBH ( think)
Le Mans Blue BMW M-Sport Touring E20 MDG
Current Cars:
Metallic Black Passat Estate BMT Tech Sport
Alpine White Mk1 Golf Cab GTI '87 E plate.

Worst Car i think between the Mini & the Peugeot!
Best car - i really like my Passat now, comfy as, got all the gizmo's & really practical. i have liked others so can't really say a best as such.

Not being funny but if I was to include my company cars i.e. Demonstrators and company cars I'd have to be over two hundred but I don't think they count, so put me down for 30 cars owned and paid for including the three I have now.

Golf Mk1 Cabby
Nissan Terrano
Golf Mk6 estate tsi, dsg (yes in white for those who know me), with to many extras to list…..  :thumbs:

Good grief man, GET A LIFE!  :lol:  :thumbs:
But even now I wished I'd had the money to buy Mk1's even only two years ago and just turn them round for a big FAT profit over here.

But money is not not everything, is it?  :)
Money can't bring happiness but I'm sure is can help!  :ocf_emoticons__offtopic:  :lol:

Went looking with my dad as soon as I passed and found it parked out the back of a dealership with all the other PX's, wasn't cleaned or anything 

Got it for £350! Wish I still had it now

Great car those fiesta supersports. One of the first cars I ever drove on the road when I was . . ehem . . Seventeen'ish.

Passed test three months after 17th birthday in '92. Parents didn't want me buying a car so had full use of their '86 mk2 Jetta TX.

My 1st car '86 Jetta 1.6CL. I say 1.6, but I went round a roundabout so hard oil surge caused a conrod to snap and put sizeable holes each side of engine block. Upon removal noticed the block had 1.8 stamped on it.
2nd car Ford Sierra XR4x4i '85 mk1 model. Awesome car, stolen and burnt out. Still had the Jetta so 1.6 engine sourced and fitted (also had GTI back axle, suspension, audi sport wheels blah blah)
'95 Cavalier LS 1.7TD
'96 Volvo S40 1.8s
'94 VW Golf Driver 1.8i (mk3)
Y2k Volvo V40 1.8XS
'90 VW Golf Clipper (owned since '07)
'03 Subaru Impreza WRX (owned since '08)
'97 Volvo V40 T4 CD
'05 Volvo V50 2.0d SELux (owned since '12)
Y2k Mazda MX5 1.8s (owned since '14)
'02 Ford Fiesta 1.4 LX (owned since '15 but bought for my son to have for his first car this year)

So not many really, but also have
'91 Honda VFR400R (grey import, Rothmans rep, owned since '00)
'03 Suzuki SV650sk3 (owned since new)
'00 BMW R850GS (owned since '12)
'12 Triumph Tiger 800 (owned since beginning of this month, but it was owned by my dad from new so have ridden it since new)

Best three cars 1: Subaru. Loathe to get rid of it, owned for 8 years and still enjoy driving it.
2: Sierra XR4x4. Handling balance (30/70 split as opposed to the Subaru's 50/50) V6 engine.
3: Volvo V40 T4. 200bhp in a car that looked so discreet. Comfortable, all mod cons, wish I never sold it for the V50.
