2015 has been my busiest year in terms of cars. Mainly because there are so many I want and I figured as I near 30 and still have no major fund drainers(Kids) I may as well get cracking.
There are some I regret, well one(you'll probably guess which one) and just one I miss(stupid DS3 driver!).
I have ended where I started, with a AW11(albeit my best one yet) due to the residual effects emanating from my accident. Felt safe going back to what I know perhaps?
Alas I digress....So here is my year in cars...

My longest serving AW11 to date.  The Beasty AW11 with a 2 litre turbo from the SW20  |

My lovely little 5, got rid of that far too soon, direct result of my accident. I'd have been fooked if I'd have been in this and not my WD21 when I had my head on at 50mph.  My Rav4 fatboy... again bought on a whim after my accident,wanted something safer. Turned out to be the quickest selling car I've ever had! Sold and collected within 48 hours at full asking price, 4 buyers offered full price within 24 hours!  |

Honourable mention goes to my courtesy car, very bizarre rocking a brand new car for the first time.  .....and finally back where the year began! Gorgeous AW11 but already it's time to move on from this one...will I ever get another AW11? most likely but for now it's time to go exploring again!  |

My hugely missed WD21(...again pesky DS3 driver) I am genuinely gutted that this couldn't find its way back to the road, it looks like it was a fantastic little truck.  |

My hugely missed WD21(...again pesky DS3 driver) I am genuinely gutted that this couldn't find its way back to the road, it looks like it was a fantastic little truck. Yeah me too, put me off owning rare classic vehicles for a bit...the offending driver in her boggo DS3 is so lucky as she just gets a replacement identical vehicle. I'd have had to import one from Japan or similar! Didn't have the nuts for that as no experience with importing and quite frankly the fear of someone doing it again put me off going through all that rigmarole. Perhaps something for the future. Second time I've been hit, both now have been wrote off(first time I was T-boned). I've never caused an accident myself. As a student Paramedic, I see daily the huge amount of horrendous drivers and that also puts me off having anything that I'm too attached to as a daily and that is a shame. The assessor wrote it off as a CAT B and the damages were estimated as £15000! I love my mk1's but I don't think I've ever missed a vehicle until losing that, taken too soon perhaps? Here's a link to the WD21 to show the damage a bit better, so frustrating as some of the pics it still looks perfect www.copart.co.uk/uk/Lot/35235775EDIT: "Mileage" in the link should state KM's was only 87245 miles |

A lovely D40, cracking truck, surprised me how powerful these were, toyed with many little boy racers, Chopped!  |

Then it was back into this for a while, hence the 5ish as this was just borrowed, brilliant car and inspired the following purchase.  |

Hence this followed after being won over all over again. A lovely low mileage, one lady owner from import, rust free S-special.  |

Then the itchy feet returned and it was time for another one of my dream cars, the Corrado VR6.  |

And the update is complete with the return to the WD21, would have loved another three door but I'm stoked to have one back. This is a keeper and will be loved. There will be another fun car alongside it down the line but for now this will get some love.  |

They say you should never go back. But sometimes, why not?  |

I'd have not left the truck had it not been taken away by one of the many dangerous drivers that occupy our roads. Sometimes going back is the best thing ever haha

So another little update! This gorgeous mint condition Mx5, far too good for the plans I had so passed it on to a collector.  This beastly YJ, loved this thing, local to me and too good to pass up, gone now though as had no place for it with my WD21.  This little 5 that i bought as it was a bargain and i wanted some parts off it for my own 5, it now resides with my brother after getting him hooked on these little beauts.  Finally up to date.... My C30 T5, lovely car and perfect for daily duties, just about squeezing 30 mpg out of it  |

Thought I’d pop an update on this. Had my first Subaru, which was a cracking car and sold forward to someone on here, must say I do miss the car. What a drive.  Also had a 3.2 V6 Audi A3, missed the VR6 Corrado sound so this was a welcome stop gap.  Still got the T5 and Eunos, feels like I’m missing some cars, but can’t think of anything else haha |
