1993 (Q) Jago Geep - Was a shed. Great fun. It was this or a Fiesta Popular 1.0!
1994 (X) Classic Mini 1.0 - A Lot more of a shed. Dodgy MOT. Holes in floor. Brakes of cheese.
1996 (E) Austin Montego 2.0 Vanden Plas - Given it free! Water pump died and aluminium block cracked. Only good for short journeys from then.
1998 (H) Austin Montego Turbo - Again free! Gave it away before it blew up.
1998 (R) Hyundai Coupe 2.0 - Bought it less than 3 months old. Sold when I left the country the same year. Really missed that car.
2000 (G) Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0 - Reliable. Dull. Worked. Would not die.
2002 (N) Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 - Comfortable, wafty, electric toys for everything, torque! Water pump went, took the V6 with it. Written off. Gutted.
2004 (Y) Volvo S40 1.8S. - Boring. Dependable. Dull.
2007 (02) Hyundai Coupe V6. - Killed clutch (twice). Replaced it (twice). Blew engine up. Replaced it. Pimped it. Put it into a barrier.
2010 (05) Rover Streetwise 2.0TD - Boring. Dull. Wouldn't die.
2013 (02) BMW 540i Sport. - Better not die!

Not a single new car in that lot, apart from the Hyundai Coupe where I discovered the joys of depreciation and car finance for the first (and last) time.

Interesting age differences if that's in chronological order Nath.

What possessed the MB? You knew someone would ask :p

Yeah that is chronological, the Polol and NA supra were owned at thesame time though.

The benz was an interim car, a great car but a very sheddy example.

Sorted me out for two months this year when my CRZ was vandalised.

Essentially my insurance would give me a hire car for any longer than 3 days, so I bought a £500 shed.

Ended up taking 2 months for repair.
