Thanks Arthur! It makes me sad when I think of the ones I should have kept! (Like so many other things in life )

[rtd]

1995 lotus carlton metallic racing green [my dream motor from when they came out a few years previous]

what was the lotus carlton like scaghead, its one of my dream cars also.

[PetrolDave]

Staring in 1976...

Renault 6
Austin 1300
Mini 1000
Mini 1000 - my first new car
Austin Metro HLS
MG Metro Turbo
MG Metro Turbo (facelift) - a complete dog which made me vow I would never buy another MG/Rover again
Renault 5 GT Turbo - the first car that really made me smile, especially after I had it modified by BBR (suspension and engine)

Then so many Vauxhall Astra's, mostly GTEs, I lost count - company cars replaced every 9000 miles which worked out at a new car every 4 months

Vauxhall Corsa 1.5D
Vauxhall Corsa GSi
Audi S3
Audi S4 Avant
Audi A4 1.9TDi Sport 130 Avant
Audi S4 Avant
Audi RS4 Avant + just bought a Citroen C1 Code to make the commute to work cheaper (4 days a week only)

As well as the cars I've also owned several RVs (motorhomes) over a period of nearly 30 years, the best of which was a Hymer S650 based on a Mercedes Sprinter 416D with Sprintshift automated manual gearbox (and the worst of which was a Commer Dormobile!).

[B2DUG]

Here's my list, very Audi heavy in the recent years:

1977 - Mk 2 Lotus Cortina
1978 - Mk 2 1600E Cortina

company cars ranging from an Escort Van through to an Audi 90 2.2E - never looked back.

1988 - Audi 2.2E
1990 - Audi Coupe GT
1992 - Audi 90 20v Sport
1995 -Audi S2
1998 - Audi 2.8 Quattro Avant
2001 - Audi S4 Saloon (Imola Yellow)
2005 - BMW 530i M Sport (oops)
2007 - Audi RS4 Avant

Wish I'd taken more photo's

[pauly-b]

Was going to do this before but only got my RS4 on Friday so thought it might be a bit presumptuous!

1986 Morris Marina - Nearly cured me of cars forever - but was free!
1987 Fiesta Popular
1988 205 Gti 1.6
1991 VW Scirrocco GTX
1994 205 Cti - Convertible
1995 MR2 Mk1
1996 205 Gti 1.9
1998 306 Gti-6
2001 Honda Accord Type-R
2003 Audi S3 225
2006 Audi A3 3.2 S-Line
2009 Audi TTS
2010 Audi RS4

I realised that most of the above were Silver or Black so a Misano Red RS4 seemed to be the way forward..

[HYFR]

awesome, Misano Red

my favourite colour
