Yeah, I'm old...
Will turn 34 in about a month. 

Ooops...I'm older!

Mostly had dull company repmobiles so I'm really jealous of you lot who've had loads of interesting cars

Unfortunately the "interesting" with most of those have been that they try to disassemble themselves.
I'd love a "dull repmobile" during the snowy part of the year. A BMW 330xi would be great...

1970 TVR Vixen S2 (with Rover 3.9 V8, fast road spec 205bhp, 750kg)

Is that a similar car to a TVR 2500 of about the same age? I drove one a while ago that the owner said was sometimes referred to as a Vixen by people not knowing better. The 2500 had a straight six and tail lights from Cortina MkII.

I hope you refer to a Corsa B, and not a Corsa A. The latter feels like it's going to fall off the road every time you go round the slightest corner!

This one handled pretty well... 66 sec laps at Knockhill. And it out gripped the equivalent Fiesta, 205, Metro, etc. And yes, that is an E30 M3 in the background... albeit reasonably standard at that point of the season.

Quicker than a standard Civic Type R and only a couple of seconds slower than an Elise.

Makinen, No the 2500 is actually a 2500M. There is also the 3000M and the 1600M. They were kit cars although some were sold fully built bythe factory. The M stands for Martin as in martin lilley the owner of TVR at that time. The Vixen is a car in it's own right. It looks similar to the M but has different front lights and bumper...

Gawd, too many I think....

'78 Talbot Sunbeam Ti (first car)
'81 Ford Capri 1.6, blew the engine so fitted one of my uncles' spare 2.0 rally engines to it
'78 Triumph Spitfire 1500, restored it, Mum wrote it off
'73 *cough* '78 Triumph Spitfire 1500 I happened to be restoring in the garage (glutton for punishment)
'86 Cavalier SRi 130, fast as fcuk in a straight line, didn't stop or go round corners
'86 Fiesta XR2, great fun
'87 Series 2 Escort RS Turbo, 185 bhp, straight into the front of an oncoming Orion
'71 MG Midget with 1380cc race engine, revved to 10k, caused many a giggle and many a snapped halfshaft.
'88 Series 2 RS Turbo, 150bhp, ran it for 60k and into the ground
'85 Series 1 RS Turbo, Power Engineering converted, too fookin quick for it's own good
'89 Sierra Saff Cosworth, to this day I regret selling it
'88 Series 2 RS Turbo, complete GJOB car that I modded to 225bhp and tracked to death, sold it as a concours car
'00 Hinda Shitvic VTi, waste of money
'00 Impreza Turbo, loved it, did 70k in it and wore it out.

You may notice a Ford thing going on there, before buying the VX I was about to buy / build a Mk1 or Mk2 RS 2000 into a modernish car, zetec injun etc but our desire for another convertible won out in the end

Now, daily driver is an '01 BMW 330d, VX NA is in the garage for nice days, trackdays and euro trips.
