2002 Renault Clio MK2 PH2 1.2 16v
2003 Honda Accord 2.0i "Sport"

Current car: 2004 BMW Z4 3.0i

Next car? Um, I'm constantly looking at cars i'd like next, mostly one's I can't afford, Currently looking at a Volvo C30 T5 just for the 5Cyl engine, but will most likely end up in a Civic Type R for its reliability and reasonable maintenance costs.

Only had 2 cars:

2002 Mark 4 Golf 1.6 16v - possibly the most boring car I've ever owned - heavy, slow and handled like a barge.
2005 Mini Cooper S R53 - Certainly the most fun car I've owned to date

Not sure what my next car will be, probably something a bit more practical than the mini, but still fun to drive.
