Mine's not been as epic as yours but still a few changes.
In January I decided to sell the Capri (big mistake) Then along came a Little MG Midget (5 speed and loads of history), but this was sold on 2 months later because I did not gel with it.
I also was in the Market for a new daily so a Spanker Tarmac Fresh Hyundai Coupe was bought.
Then 3 days after the sale of the Midget a P Plate MGF 1.8VVC came along, whilst being an amazing car and nothing wrong with it I felt too wary to drive it just incase the HG failed, so this was sold on.
Then along came a Blue MK1 MX5, an amazing car and in showroom conidtion. Due to this I decided to sell it on as I got offered double what I paid (again regret doing this).
After that I decided a Capri 2.8 was required in my life, so one was bought.
2 Weeks after I got offered a Austin 1300 VDP, so this was also added to the collection.
So as I stand I have:
1 x 2.8 Capri 1 x VDP Austin 1300 1 x MGBGT 1 x MG Midget
Think thats enough for now.

Well, the begining of the year saw me doing this as part of the engine swap. In the meantime Mrs Seth was mostly driving this but that was soon sold once the Herald was near ready. Nothing else in the way of acquisitions or sales but these happened to the Hillman.

This year saw me owning more than just the escort for the first time. Last Christmas morning. Then, in the new year I bought this, Which proved to be invaluable, comfortable but also quite thirsty being a 320 with an autobox. So I bought this K10, And ofcourse, theres still the escort,

Oooh I like this game! I broke my record and got through 5 this year... Mid January saw me car-less, but that all changed when I introduced myself to the smell of aging leather, RWD and V8 in the snow: After a few months, having realised that it had a drinking habit akin to that of the late George Best, I decided to sell the barge, and opt for something still Bavarian, but a little more frugal: Around August I got the itch again, so I offloaded the E36 to a nice chap who works at the pleasurebeach, and a quick shufty round Pistonheads found me a car high up on my 'must own' list: Fast forward to September when a mate emailed me at work asking 'do you know any scrappers who will take this away?' and the inevitable happened. I bought a Golf with NOTHING going for it. Bum grape red, bit scabby, no T or T and a suspect head gasket. Needless to say much swearing and skinned knuckles saw it MOT'd and for sale. Not a bad car by the end of it, but the grief of the repairs saw me completely out of love with it. Meanwhile the E28 has been laid up for winter. Two trips in the ice and snow almost saw me bend the thing, as it was impossible to keep in a straight line. 10 inch wheels on the rear + RWD = ice and snow fail! The only interest I had in the Bum Grape Golf was a nice chap in Crewe who wanted to swap it with his MK2, so off I went last week and came back with this: I'm very happy with it, it's been 100% reliable thus far and very good in the snow. It's been a good year, I have high hopes for 2011!

I started the year with the same old project(10yrs plus!) swapped that for a stocker, which most people know of its past. I found that far too slow(and fragile!!!) so put the word out that I was on look out for a change, what a change!! chalk and cheese!!!

Ooh ooh! I started the year with this horrible little money pit. It was like meeting a celebrity you'd idolised for years, then finding out they were a racist alcoholic. I used to LOVE minis. But it was in this situation too many times after only driving it home from buying it: I fixed it up so I was happy it would be reliable for the new owner, then sold it, and because it bankrupted me I ran around in my mums Ka for a while, and then bought this off my mate once I'd restored my wallet. And looking back at that, it looked bloody lovely. I kinda wish I'd left it like that, but they are cheap enough to recreate for now. I put a faster engine in it (mainly because the one that was in didn't idle very well) then got a stick up my for some reason and over about a month or so, hundreds of hours and a decent chunk of cash I turned it into this: Then, again fancied a change so swapped it for this (well, it looked like a massive nail when I got it, this is after a lot of sorting!): And here I am. A bit bored with the mazda, it needs different wheels and making a lot faster. I can afford neither at the moment!

Been a record year for me with a lot of twists and turns.
Started with...
Mk6 Ford Fiesta (Sold)
Volkswagen Passat 1.9 TDi Estate (Blew Up)
Rover 200 (Borrowed)
Nissan Bluebird 'Bosobird' (Broke then Sold)
Volkswagen Lupo (Borrowed)
Eunos Roadster
The plan next year is to stick with the Roadster but maybe acquire a second car next winter, possibly a Micra K11 or Honda Civic Shuttle 4x4.
