Hello, everyone!

After reading a few things in some of the threads and a recent conversation I had at work today I was wondering what car's you all used to drive before you jumped into an F-Type.

So here's my car history!

1. 1996 Ford Fiesta
2. 2006 Vauxhall Astra
3. 2011 Seat Ibiza Cupra
4. 2012 Seat Leon FR
5. 2013 Seat Leon FR
6. 2010 Audi S3
7. 2011 Audi S5
8. Finally, 2014 F-Type R Smile

I had a SEAT fetish for a few years... LOL

What am I looking at next? Probably an Audi R8 as buying the F-Type R was a toss up against the R8 and I knew going into it that whichever one I chose I would want to buy the other afterwards!

Great topic, I only really joined the forum yesterday and hinted at my crap car history, so here goes (and I expect to have my account deleted immediately).

The years will be the years I owned it...

1988 Morris Marina 1.7 Estate (metallic pea green... Cheers Dad!)
1991 Montego Vanden Plas EFI (basically completely soluble)
1993 Peugeot 309 GTI (met a tree)
1994 Peugeot 309 1.3 (life now sucks)
1997 Fiat Tipo 1.7 atmo diesel (life now sucks even more and the damn thing won't even rot)
1999 Ford Mondeo
2001 Rover 414
2003 Audi 80 Estate
2005 Honda CRV (absolutely brilliant little car)
2009 BMW X3 (with springs and dampers made from concrete and coincidently the year chiropractors around the country entered the Times Rich List)
2015 Range Rover Evoque
2016 F-Type

Not entirely certain how Mrs Blackmme & I have ended up with an F-Type, but whatever mistakes we made they were the right ones!

Ok - here we go............
1973 my first car was a 1962 Ford Anglia
Three Ford Cortina Mk3s
A Datsun 100A Coupe (I'm 6'3 and it was tiny)
Three Ford Cortina Mk4s
Then Company cars every 2 - 3 years from 1985 (too many to list but starting at an Escort and currently a Mondeo Hybrid which is brilliant)

Now the interesting bit.......
1998 - Jaguar XJ-S - loved it
2004 - Jaguar XK8 - Loved it even more
2011 - Mercedes SL (R230) Great car - but not a head turner like the Jags
2016 - F Type S Coupe (380ps)
Can't think of what I would rater have in the future
