I mean this might be the winner... a list that includes a Heinkel bubble car, Model A and 11BL alongside an E Type, Elan, GTV6, 911 CCS and 355GTS... WHO ARE YOU?!

My thoughts, too.
Coolest post, so far.

My list from 1997...

Austin Metro (first car, terrible!) B plate
205 GTi 1.6 (did 50k miles in it) F plate
Astra 1.8 SRi (needed something reliable for work) Y plate
Golf GT TDI 170 (company car) 07 Plate
Passat CC TDI 170 (company car) 10 Plate
Another Passat CC TDI 170 (company car) 12 Plate
Golf R Mk7 (loved it, but had an engine fault and VW replaced it with the below) 14 plate
Golf R Mk7 (loved it) 15 plate
F-Type (still got it!) 17 plate

Still remember the 205 GTi.
All the VW's were great, reliable and no issues.
No idea what to replace the F-Type with hence still got it.

The secret to having a long history of car ownership is to be old!
I've always liked different driving experiences from 1930 Model A Ford to F355.
And yes I did forget one - Morgan +8

- I think I may have a thing for red though, that I wasn't aware off. The bikes and now the Jag .

Red is the fastest colour - you must have heard of red shift!

I heard it adds 10 bhp .

[David-93]

Short car list for me.
2003 1.2 Clio 3dr for 3 years
2007 BMW E86 Z4 Coupe 3.0si for about 18months before someone wrote it off as I started to do 18k a year. Gap insurance payment was great. So yes another Z4 previous owner in this Thread.
2014 BMW F32 420D Coupe for just over 8years.
Finally my FType. It was between an FType and an 18month old M240i, however of course the FType won. Hopefully I'll have this one for a few years.

Oh how I really blame/thank a dealership employee who lived down my road and for about 3 years had different FTypes he would return home in, that made me keep thinking I'll have one of those some day.

Did you find that every so often you could inspect the passenger footwell in your Lancia Beta Coupe and find interesting nuts/bolts/screws and electrical type fixings living down there? I think I could have filled a jam jar with the stuff that fell out from behind my dashboard. Didn't seem to affect the car in any way though

[Backfire]

Amanda, All I can remember is a general feeling that the Lancia would leave me stranded somewhere, but it didn't. I do vaguely remember finding some screws under the floor-mats however.
I didn't keep it very long, I bought it off a friend and didn't want to fall out with him (he's now massively wealthy!). I found the Alfas sturdier mechanically, although clearly Italian.
