1st sort of car was a 1.7d astra estate mk3, was given it at 16, so sold it and started saving for my first car
1st was a 1.4 Sport (Aurora Purple)
Smoothed bumpers and a full respray and some white 17's
2nd was a 1.6 Sport with 34k (not bad to say it was 7 years old
PX'd with Linch for some cash and this:
Changed a few bits
4th Corsa never made it home 
5th Corsa 1.6 Sport
Got rid of the bucket seats for standard interior, ditched lexus lights for standard, and angel eyes for depo's
Loved that car, was 135bhp
6th Corsa C SRi
Tidy'd it up a lot, was pretty rough when i got it tbh
7th Clio 182
Painted wheels, added yellow detail, lowered and tracked 
8th 106 GTi (was just as fast as the 182)
Ditched the angel eyes for morettes, fit Brembo 4 pots and tracked this aswell
9th Astra SXi 1.8, bought for £800 (52 plate with 58k) MOT'd, new brakes, cambelt and water pump, few other little bits, sold for £1500.
Also just bought a 53 plate Ford KA, and a V reg Saxo VTR will get some snaps of these this week.

First car and reason why I am on here
1.2 8v corsa so slow but nothing ever went wrong in the time I had it
My corsa gsi always wanted one so bought a stardard one and made it mint. Couldnt solve the oil burning issues so it went
wanted a good car out the box so bought a CTR
That died doing what it loved at the nurburgring and was split for parts
Bought a dirt cheap VTS with some tasty mods. 150bhp and the best handling car of the lot. Track days on semi slick tyres was epic
Dented door from another track day ended up with it been split for parts as the chassis was rotten 
Didnt know what to get so found a drit cheap supercharged CTR. 300bhp LSD and handling upgrades = FUN
Tempted to get on the M3 bandwagon but I enjoy the preformance and dirt cheap running costs of this

Some stunning cars in this thread
I started off with my 1.2 8v Corsa:
[imghttp://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i9/Eckmcmann/Photo-0088.jpg[/img]
That died shortly after with a handbrake turn into a kerb 
I went onto a White 1.0 12v but don't have any pics of it! That died in a drink driving incident. Yeah, I was a tool when I was younger 
When banned, I bought this:
Which I wish I kept, but swapped it with:
Which was sold to get my brothers' Saxo:
Which was swapped for my XSi 16v
Then back to a Corsa
Then it was old man time:
Then I went to 'tec
Rusty as hell but with an EK9 Type R engine it wasn't slow!
[imghttp://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/9692/IMAG0066.jpg[/img]
Finally, my bro offered me his Civic Jordan and I couldn't turn it down!
Number 472. Supercharged vtec

Started off with a 1.0 12v Corsa GLS and this is why I joined this forum. My mum has it now although it's going to scrapyard in a couple of weeks, sad times!
Then my mate decided to sell his CRX so I just had to snap it up! Loved this car, was great, and I got it resprayed in Subaru WR Blue as the bumpers were a bit knackered when I got it...
Unfortunately I had a knock in the CRX and it was never the same after, plus I wanted something newer so found a 206 GTi for sale locally. Fell in love with the interior, so bought it...
Did like this but it suffered from the 'randomly-switches-off-whenever-it-feels-like-it-and-it-can't-be-fixed' fault so it had to go. Ended up with a Clio 182 after, with the Recaro's, man I loved those...
Exhaust was failing on this and it needed that expensive belt change so I got rid before I started spending stupid money on it, got something local, cheap and crap, a yellow Punto GT!
This really was a heap of shit lol. But I didn't have a job at the time so enjoyed fixing all the little niggles. They got the better of me in the end though, so I hunted down a dream car I'd always wanted, a lovely little R5 GTT...
Once again though really the niggles got on top of me, I tired to keep it but it just ended up driving me mad. These are definitely not cars to have as main drivers anymore. Fed up with shit that let me down, I decided to spend out, and bought a 305bhp Impreza 
Simply amazing car but it destroyed my wallet. Around £5,000 to run per year (including everything, depreciation etc.) it just didn't make sense. So sold that recently and now I get the bus! Which costs me £220 per year through a work scheme lol. Although, I am also insured on my mum's new Fiesta Zetec 1.4 for pops out at night etc. when she's not using it...

First car was an 850 mini city. wrote it off after a month which then led to my Vauxhall bug.
Fiirst Vauxhall was this
Nova 1.2. The black wing is because I crashed into a police car.
A year later I bought this
Nova 1.4SR
to this 3 years later
Then bought this which I had for 18 months
Nova 14 sri
to this
It was the second car in the country to have RL7's, the first being Courtenays VBH Nova sport.
Corsa Gsi which went from a 25k mile minter to this in 9 years later. Sold a year ago.
Doesn't need much explaining as i'm sure everybody is aware of it.
Possible the most track abused Corsa ever. Doing about 30ish trackdays in 3 1/2 years
Vectra Gsi, absolute mint bargain, just had a major drinking problem. Bought as a stop gap car.
Very nice cars.
Current car.
Astra 888 cdti No.98
