I know something similar was done which involved horsepower but I was wondering what peoples car history is, just in terms of the cars that you've gone through, for me it's:

Ford Escort 1.3 GL (dads car, was the main driver in a lovely putrid bright green, not sure that this counts :))
Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 GLS (as above)
Nissan Bluebird Turbo ZX (as above)
Audi Coupe GT (first car that I ever purchased)
Peugeot 205 (This and the next lot are all company cars till the next comment)
Fiat Uno
Vauxhall Astra 1.6 GLS
Vauxhall Astra 1.8 SRi
Rover 416 GSi
Rover 220 Turbo Coupe
Renault Chamade 16v
Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0 SRi
Rover 620
Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ghia
Audi 80 2.0
Vauxhall Vectra 2.0 CDx
Honda Accord 2.0 ES SSS
Jaguar X-Type 2.5
Honda Accord 2.4 Type-S (second car that I've personally owned and still own)

Quite a chequered and boring car history with my younger speed years taken care of by cars that somebody else owned and managed :) So what's yours? If this has been done before then a big SORRY to the Mods :)
