For those that don't already know the answer, can we guess where in that list you started working for OCUK*?

I've put my guess in Red.

(*Unless you've only ever worked for them?)

22 cars in 31 years
 
Actually not a huge amount seeing I've been driving for 30 years.

(1993-1997) - 1988 Ford Escort 1.3L 2 door (with go faster stickers), First car
/Few years without own car as using parents cars

(1999-2001) - 1999 Ford Puma 1.7, Got this one new and was a lovely little motor at the time.
(2000-2002) - 1999 Suzuki GSXR600 SRAD, probably not the most sensible first bike. :p
(2001- 2004) - 2001 Ford Puma 1.7 Black Edition, liked them so much I bought another one.
(2002- 2009/10?) - 2002 Suzuki GSXR600 Telefonica Movistar edition, and that’s where the user name comes from.
(2004-2006) - 2000 Alfa 156 2.0 Selespeed, baby came along so made that stupid decision that you needed a 4 door car (fun though).
(2006-2008) - 2001 BMW e46 330ci, proper machine did everything well even loved the red (leather) on imola red colour scheme, would have been one to keep.
(2007-2008) - 2000 Ford KA 1.2L , missus needed a small runabout.
(2008- ) - 2006 Ford Mustang s197 GT 4.6L, I’ve grown very attached to this and unless circumstances change I’m going to keep it, every single time I take it out it puts a smile on my face.
(2008-2010) - 2005 Mini Cooper, replacing the KA, very planted little runabout.
(2010-2015) - 2006 Land Rover Freelander 2, decent family wagon.
(2015-2017) - 2011 Range Rover Evoque Dynamic, had every toy you could think of at the time.
(2017-2018) - 2010 Porsche 911 (997.2) C4S, suitable family car whilst the kids stilled fitted in the back, it was also ******* fast.
(2018-2021) - 2018 Ford Mustang s550 GT, very very nice, great performance but at lower speeds it wasn’t as much of an event/fun as the s197.
(2021- ) - 2021 Range Rover Evoque P300,dipping toes into the world of hybrids, actually a really nice car with fantastic spec and decent performance for a small SUV
(2024- ) - 2005 Lotus Elise 111s, it’s a total go-kart and handling wise I think I’ve now gone and spoilt any future cars, driving experience is engaging and another level; able push it and get a buzz without doing silly license losing speeds.

Surprised the Puma hasn’t had more mentions. This was top of my list for a first car but insurance was too expensive :( Haven’t seen one in many years.

I had an uncle that worked for Ford so managed to get it on the family discount ticket, had a massive waiting list at the time. Was such a cracking little motor and would love to have a go in one now to see how it compares to memories.

They were selling for peanuts for years (just a couple of hundred), but now going up in price.
