'90 G reg Ford Escort 1.1 Bonus 90 :)
'93 L reg Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 8v Flair
'99 T reg Vauxhall Corsa 1.6 16v Sport
'99 V reg VW Golf 1.8 20v Turbo GTI
'04 54 reg Honda Civic Type R EP3
'04 53 reg Vauxhall Astra SRi 2.2

All have been subject to subtle modifications apart from the ol' Escort. Nice to make them look a smidge smarter and go/stop/handle a bit better :)

Vauxhalls have been good to me, which is why I'm back in another for a bit till I can make my mind up what I want to own long term :)

Anglia 105E (still in family)
Daff 44 (Scrapyard in the Sky )
Daihatsu 850cc van (Scrapyard in sky, bought new actually! Nice little van but never got more than 28MPG out of it despite apparent small size)
Rover 2200TC (Scrapyard in the Sky)
Daimler V12 coupe (Awesome! In a barn somewhere, will probably not see her again :( )
XJ40 3.6 (Scrapyard in the Sky)
Daimler 4.0 (SORN)
S2 Landrover (SORN)
Range rover v8 Classic (SORN)
Rover 820 vitesse (SORN)
R5 Campus (SORN)
Jag V8 3.2 (current)

And my daily worker

My random cars in order.

1995 VW Polo 1.0
2001 Renault Megane Coupe 1.4
2006 Renault Megane Cabriolet 1.4
2003? BMW Z4 3.0i

Now I don't need a car anymore and my wife has a new Fiat 500.

Probably looking to get a cheap fun car for the weekends as I'm starting to miss not having a car, no doubt I will end up with a £1-1.5k Clio 172 cup or MX-5
