	hmmm....from what I remember: Student/under 24 years: 1970 VW 1302S - biscuit tin in the sills, filler elsewhere. 1971 VW 1302S - lost my virginity in this one.....(ahem) 1974 VW 1300 - hand painted, skateboard stickers to hide rust. 1970 VW transporter - swapped for the above. Made handsome profit. 1979 VW Golf LS - in tip top nick. 1975 Renner 12 auto - can't remember much asides from it sounding like cow 1977 Peugeot 204, very very rusty 1982 Saab 900GLS - gem of a car 1982 Citroen 2CV - only car I could take to the top of the downs. Unemployment/dossing in London years: 1985 Alfa 33 4 Wagon - never got it going for more than a week, but sounded lovely 1981 Mazda 323 - meh. 1979 Honda Prelude - strangely unmemorable too 1984 Honda Jazz - really ahead of its time. 1983 VW Golf GTI - nearly killed myself in this Work years: 1987 Vauxhall Belmont - swapped this for some toy cars.... 1989 Ford Escort - coarse! 1992 Toyota Corolla - went, stopped and started well. 1995 Peugeot 106 - really economical. 1989 Volvo 240DL estate - one of my faves! 1991 Volvo 240 GLT estate - this was a bad un....300K on the clock, with just as much horse hair. last 7 years: 1995 Peugeot 106 Rallye - awesome fun 1997 Peugeot 106 Rallye - a little less fun than above About 5 Datsun 100A's/120A's (maybe 6/7 cherries all in all) 3 Datsun Sunnys - paragon of reliability 2 Datsun Bluebirds - ditto (if a bit dull) 1972 BMW 2002 touring - nice to look at! 1986 BMW 320i - grrrreat car. 1973 Lancia Beta saloon - went well. 1989 Volvo 340GL - ok, s'pose. I think thats it.... Most of the above have been scrapped, except curiously my first car - the 1970 VW 1302S - the owner after me restored it. Fool!

	Did this list the last time this came round a couple of weeks back, but never posted it. Seeing as I'm enjoying seeing what everybody else has owned, here they are. It's good to share Cars I’ve owned… 1982 2CV, orange, lowered and colour coded 1971 Morris Minor Pick-up, black, red steels, lowered front 1965 Morris Minor two-door saloon, mars red, Alleycat’s, buckets, lowered 1978 Dyane, graffited and crashed 1985 2CV, wide arch bodykit, wide steels, whale tail spoiler 1973 Mini 1000, two-tone, Lega alloys 1978 2CV totally stripped, lowered, bare metal and lacquer front end 1978 T2 crew cab, 15in Merc steels, lowered, smoothed, graphite grey 1974 Avenger DL, Ronal alloys 1979 Cadillac Sedan De Ville, blew it up in Arizona 1981 2CV, lowered, black with yellow scallops 1971 Rover P6, satin black, smoothed 1978 BMW E21 316, de-trimmed, lowered, steels 1983 Mk1 Golf Gti, stripped, side exit exhaust 1965 Ford Anglia, Fiat 2ltr twin-cam 1969 Hustler short wheel base buggy 1978 Volvo 240DL saloon, GLT alloys 1976 Mk1 Transit LWB panel van, ex-Met Police 1989 Volvo 245 GLT estate, lowered, stripped, roll cage 1986 Volvo 245 GLT estate 1971 Ford Mk1 Capri 1600XL, Revolutions 1968 Ford Mk1 Capri 1600XL, Revolutions 1985 BMW E28 528i, fooked, lowered, Pentas 1981 BMW E28 535i TWR 1986 BMW E28 528i, shadowline 1983 Ford Transit Mk2 LWB panel van, camper converted 1979 Subaru Leone Coupe 1979 Toyota Starlet 1987 BMW E28 528i, M6 motor Those are the cars I’ve driven on the road.

Oh, and a Mk3 Cortina 2000E estate, and a Mk3 Cortina 2ltr GT saloon called the Red Baron. I think that's it... It's like trying to remember the people you've slept with, there's always a couple you forget, then when you remember them you wonder how they ever slipped your mind? Only thing is, with the cars I always woke up happy in the morning... ;D

That's about 20 years worth ;D (That makes me feel old) I've still got the Rambler, MK1 Sceptre, Favorit and MK3 Astra... I was thinking the other day that I've never had a Japanese car, for some reason... although I did go to look at some sort of early 80's Datsun/Nissan Cherry thing once... I remember the front bumber was on the back seat . I also went to look at a Mazda Montrose(sp?) coupe... when did you last see one of those?
