Here's my list:

2004 Honda Civic Sport
2005 Lotus Elise 111R
2007 Lotus Exige
2009 Mini Cooper
2010 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian
2012 BMW 3 Series Coupe M Sport
2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe Sport (just sold)
2015 Ford Transit Connect Limited (for chucking the bikes in the back)
2016 Jaguar F-Type Coupe . . . arriving around the end of September! Can't wait!

As you can see, I was a bit of a late starter when it came to driving but was desperate to get into a Lotus and got one as my second car! After two Lotus, it was time to drive a few more "normal" cars for a while and although I've enjoyed the BMWs I can't wait to get back into a proper sports car again . . . just a much more refined and grown-up one this time! :-)

The L200 and the Ford van have featured in there due to the mountain biking hobby and not wanting to ruin nice cars with bikes and muddy clothes! Still got the Transit Connect and actually really like it. Plus, having sold the 4 Series in advance of the F-type arriving, the van is all I have to get around in at the moment!

Does get you thinking, doesn’t it?!
Mk 1 Escort, canary yellow! 12 years old. Had it 12 months. Went to MOT it and they wouldn’t give it back, it was so unsafe!
Opel Kadett (Astra), white. 5 years old. Nice.
Opel Kadett Sr, black. 4 years old. Loved it!
Opel Manta GTE, red. 5 years old. Suffered from ‘pinking’....Grr!
Then a succession of Astra GTE’s including a modified 8valve with addition of a turbo.
Things cooled down whilst I was married!...then got divorced:
Nissan 350Z, silver, 3 years old followed by a brand new 350.
Then followed 2 new 370Z’s, blue and black.
Following a spell with a Citroen DS3 (great car!) I got my first F Type - a brand new 400Sport, black.
Then a brand new Ultra Blue SVR. Both were great cars!
Recently, I’ve had a 6 month old 570 Spyder Mclaren and now have a 600 Spyder whichI bought new.
I remain on this site because I still love the F Type...I’m hoping Jaguar will bring out a modern day version of the C-X75....
Currently a McLaren 600LT Spider
Previously a Mc 570S Spider and an Ultra Blue SVR MY 19.5 with lots of goodies!
Er indoors has an MY21 Firenze red EPace HSE

H Reg Rover Metro 1.1c (only 4 speed but went like shit off a shovel!) Wrote it off coming home from a mates 21st.
K Reg 1.6 Vauxhall Astra Cesaro (brakes were shit!)
51 plate 1.8 Focus Ghia - Felt almost posh having that one!😂
06 Reg Focus ST 2 - my first ever brand new car. Loved it.
07 Reg Focus ST 2 - my second ever brand new car. A replacement for the first ST as someone drove into the back of me on the A14😢
60 Plate 2.0 Kuga Titanium X. Went through a being a grown up stage - got a dog and everything!😂
17 Plate Discovery Sport 180 HSE Lux. Thought this was going to be the best car I very owned. Turned into the most stressful and awful motoring experience I’ve ever had. 4 years of absolute misery with that car. Will never buy a car from Marshall dealership ever again.
61 plate BMW 3 series touring (E91). Bought from a mate to keep me on the road whilst I did legal battle over the DS. Fantastic car. Enjoy tinkering with it. 160k miles and as good as the day it came out of the showroom. Used as my ‘I need more than 1 passenger seat car’
20 Plate BMW X3 2.0 - A far, far better car than the DS in every aspect. Family hauler and second car for the missus and my ‘go shooting in the winter car’.
17 Plate 400 Sport - my dream car. Can’t stop looking at it. Can’t stop reading about it. Can’t believe it comes from the same family brand that made my DS!😂 A car to enjoy forever.
