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.
