I'd like to add a Prelude to that list, mind, but it'll probably a third-gen one. It won't be long before they've all disappeared or got to mad money levels.

I did point Honda in the direction of a second-gen one a while back, that said – seeing yours on the list reminded me of all this – and it's now on its heritage fleet. I must get around to having a go in it!

Loved my Gen 2 Prelude.
My dad was jealous, threatened to throw me out (I was 21).
I was so angry I wrote it off on Woodhead Road. (Which bought me another 3 years at home as it was on finance and a total loss).

Can you imagine how my brand new MK1 vRS felt after driving poverty spec Golfs for years.

I had to sell my Orion Ghia as a deposit for my first house.
Running around in a Mini 850 for a while, but I have always been mobile.

Yep, I got a little 206 to save money when my mum died and I needed a deposit for a house, I traded down to save money and for the purpose, the 206 was great. Cheap as chips.

My dad had Ford Cortinas and got an Orion 1.6i Ghia and I fell in love. I passed my test and was starting college, I hatched a plan to be added onto his insurance so I could drive it. My dad eventually agreed to add me, so rang insurance company, plus a lot others. No one would insure me on it until I was 30!! (I was 17 at the time) - I was gutted. Eventually he got a Sierra Estate which he loved and I could drive, but was no where near as cool.

I got my first car as mentioned above (Metro) and was paying £1900 a year TPF&T for insurance at 19!
 
Not much variety here. I also don’t appear to change my daily very often (Cinq, 2 of the MR2s, Galant and Volvo cover me from 1998 to present)

1987 Mk1 Toyota MR2
1986 Mk1 Toyota MR2 - Swapped the Fiat for it, then sold it to the (now) wife almost immediately
1986 Mk1 Toyota MR2 (Still got this one as my track car)
1988 Mk1 Toyota MR2 T-Bar
1989 Mk1 Toyota MR2 (Bought as a non-running track car and sold without ever driving it)
Mitsubishi Galant V6-24
Mk3 Toyota MR2 (Still got - Technically the wife’s car but we’re beyond having ‘his’ and ‘hers’ cars nowadays)
Volvo XC70 (Still got)
1988 Mk1 Toyota MR2 T-bar (Parts car only, currently stripped to a bare shell, is upside down in the garage with no roof and will never be a viable car again)

14 cars in 20 years isn't so bad, especially given that there was some overlap where I had up to 3 cars at once!
