Pic whoring warning. Heres a list of the cars ive had since i passed my test, feel free to add yours if your bored 
First car: 1996 Fiat Ciquecento Sporting 1.1
[File photo and mine had red stripes]
Second (Most important) car.
Started off like this (Not my photo)
Then I was young and dumb got ripped of by local bodyshop after i scraped a wall and asked them to colourcode the car:
Then changed wheels:
Then spent a large sum of money making it look not shit:
and go like stink:
Whilst I drove that I had a car I was left in a will for me and my Dad:
[file photo]
Then wanted something a bit more grown up than the corsa and with less wheelspin:
Merc was sold and I inherited my sisters first car:
Calibra broke a lot, got fed up with it so sold that to Mattb and picked this up:
Begged ChrisC to sell me this (He finally gave in)
Changed it to how i wanted it:
Was probably the most boring car on planet earth and drank fuel. So I decided I wanted a BMW as I had always liked them and was old enough to insure my first ///M
Loved that car but didn't have a car at the time as Astra had sold, was desperate to get one so bought the first i saw (Big mistake) coincidentally at the time the world fell to peices financially. (Car de valued 50% in 3months)
It also turned out to be a bit wonky after ploughing £££ into trying to get it right I chopped it in and purchased my dream (acheivable) car.
E46 ///M3 Convertible
Hello/goodbye:
Too many people liked crashing into it, plus it was costing me a bomb and i decided I wanted to get a cheaper car. So got this which I still miss to this day:
Hello/Goodbye:
Went a bit bonkers after a few beers one night:
Wanted a car that wasnt on finance and was cheap and I didnt want to spend money on, so got this:
Brilliant but juicy, parents use it a lot and has been helpfull for a few business trips with my Dad, debating selling as I dont use it enough but am quite fond of it.
Missed having a BMW/Convertible so bought a fixer-upper/project and love it:
Feel free to post your car story!

I loved it to Barnshaw but i hated it by the end. Just fell to peices. Engine was MINT 60k. 4x4 worked 100%. The rest of it fell to bits 
Z3 had dodgy camber on the back, most likely had a donk on a kerb. Nobody could suss what was bent as everyrhing underneath looked fine and measured in perfect symettry to the other.
Ive fancied another calibra same as that but gold/silver colour. Only ever seen one other like it

Here's my story:
Started out with this, my first car, it was a Punto S
It was very unreliable, I was taking the bus every other week because of problems, which is why I sold it a year later for this:
Which was great, had double the mileage than the Punto but never let me down. I was earning money by this point though so wanted an upgrade, so went for this:

havent kept pic of them all but in just over 3 years this is my shameful list
not actual pic
first i had a standard one of these (actual colour) for free
scrapped
then i got this 1.0l 4 speed micra for £80
kept the door locked with a shoe lace
then i had a few weeks use on my mams insurance on that grey ^ mg zr 1.4
then i picked this up from a garage for £400 (irish reg i think?)
i quite liked that ^
ended up with and exhaust, smoked rears and 15" halfords spec wheels  (wich rubbed without being lowered) no im not fat ether
then i got one of these (not actual pic)
only car i made a loss on paid £600 and sold about 2 weeks later for £450 iirc. was a dog, had a 1.8d 205 lump in i got robbed with that
then someone owed me £300 so i acted all hard and they signed this over to me
i hated this the most!!, ragged it to death and sold it to some really posh guy who turned up in a 09 reg audi a4  i didnt understand but i was happy as i got £600 for it and the clutch was on its last legs
only had 38k iirc^
then i borrowed one of these off a neighbour until i could sell it for them (got a cut in it too)
then i seen sence and got a vaux, never turned back since
picked up a standard but dented v reg 1.2 envoy (logged as 1.2 12v?) and these are the only pics i have of it loved it to bits...
after puttin what little money i had into it and a load of effort i made the stupid mistake of selling her to a fat chod who crashed it only a week later
so i stuck to vaux and picked this up pretty cheap and local
...but at 5.30am on a winter morning it decided to pop, i filled it with radwelds and sent it on its way for a profit
...and seen the light again and picked up my current daily/tidy up project...
i think that is all

Thought id do mine.
Started with my first car,
1.2 corsa
Lowered and a few different wheels it had
ended up like this bit more subtle, sold it like this
People loved driving into it so had this for a courtesy car for quite a while
Went well for a 1.2.
Next i was told there was a ford escort sitting on my sister boyfriends drive that was his brothers and he never bothered with it. Went to have a nose and was greeted with this
I was told to make an offer, offered £100 half joking and it was a done deal.
Had only done 32k was immaculate and rust free throughout only needed a new headlight and it passed its mot without a single advisory.
Varies states
gave it a polish
Well i found out i was gona be a dad so needed somthing more sensible but there was noway i could part with the fiesta so i decided it would be a good time to start my plans for it. Bought this in the meantime
1.8 td, cant fault it at all was a cracking car, just kept it clean and put diesel in it didnt bother with mods. Never missed a beat.
only got rid as i was given a company car in my new job so this is my current car
And this is how the fiesta stands atm
Ive a project thread on here for the fiesta but i cant find it. Would like to update it.

first car.
not this car but same model.
second and the one i will miss the most and probably bore my kids about when im 70
through its various stages.
some of the 5000+ pictures i have of it.
while i had that i had a couple of runabouts too! which were.
a fiesta unpopular
Golf CL
Corolla T-Sport (which is currently forsale  )
.. now i just want one car so the corsa went and i currently have this ol barge.
which i plan to own for a couple of years unless i get fed up with 24mpg.
i havent had many cars in the 12 years ive been driving or anything really fancy yet, but a couple of them , ie the corsa and golf will hold a place in my heart.
