BMW 1 Series; 2.2L engine.
No one cared I had it but I thought I looked like a **** in it. One of the most emotionally cold cars you can have in respect to feelings towards it. It didn't help it was gun metal grey with cranberry red upholstery. It was like an iron clad vagina with teeth. I was 18 at the time. I am Russian. I told a girl I liked her in that car in a parking lot out side of school. She said no. I drove home in a tie and blazer combo listening to The Prodigy on stock speakers. I still feel like a **** looking back on that day. God, I hated that car.
Brought it at full retail at £23k...felt like paper cutting your jap's eye.
It had these stupid locks from which you couldn't tell if the door was open or closed because it didn't have those stick indicators next to the windows. So when the girl said no; I open the doors to let her out but she in a panic says "what are you doing; what's going on ?!!!"
I said nothing and looked puzzled, said the doors are open. Felt a bit rapey...

MK 5 Ford Escort 1.4 LX.
It was really good, never had a problem apart from a small oil leak. Which also showed it didn't need oil to run. (at least for a while). I thought I broke it but put more oil in and it carried on.
Until I sold it to some kid down the road that crashed it within a month.

a B reg 1.3 ford orion. cost about £100 i think and had the uncanny knack of being able to make passengers feel ill as the fumes from the exhaust would somehow work into the back of the car. never found out how as it meant nobody wanted to go in my car so it was cool. 
unfortunately that set a series of cars which were never above that 1.3. the 1.8 diesel was an exception but slower lol.

Mk3 golf, 1.4. £350 to buy, £1300 to insure.
Was great though, fitted recaro seats from a scrappy and a few other bits. Dropped on coilies 60mm with steelies.
Only thing is it was majorly sluggish and didn't like motorway trips.

A 1978 Triumph Dolomite, an 1850HL automatic to be exact. Great car, very comfortable, fun to drive, got plenty of attention and only stopped once in 3 years, and was fixed at the side of the road I got it in 03/04 I think.
I used it daily - and it did a good few 600 mile roundtrips, went to Goodwood, was on TV twice, in two magazines, and was shown at numerous hot rod and classic shows Many fond memories!
I would actually buy it back but it's in Ireland now, where most of my cars seem to end up
