WOW. I have had 3 fords. How bloody boring!! However, I know that saving up for a mortgage is more important than having a cool car so I am stickng with the cheap one for now!

1991 1.1 Ford Fiesta sunray (with sunroof, spoiler and pimpin' spotlights...as standard!) - killed from lack of oil on motorway!
1994 1.3 Ford Escort 5-door (should have just bought a bus and have done with it)
1999 1.7 Ford Puma (slightly modified but still pretty cheap as it goes!)
 
well, I might as well add my list to this thread too and make you all jealous :lol:

haven't owned many really:

W-reg mk1 fiesta 950
'94 pug 106 1.5 diesel van
mid 90s (can't remember the reg) cavalier tdi shed
99 puma 1.7

if you include the cars I drove while still at my folks on their insurance, the list just keeps getting better and better adding in:

1.0 polo
renault 5 diesel val (two tone, top half bright red, bottom half blue) :lol:
 
Mine is a bit varied.

03-04: Peugeot 205 1.1 K981 MML - Great car, loved it though according to the DVLA no longer around :-(
04-05: Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 R reg - Hopeless, alot slower than the 205 and didn't like rain, wind, being driven or working at all.
05-N/A: Ford Puma 1.7 R625 OFX - Still own this, was a great car but haven't even seen it for a year!
08-10: Mitsubishi GTO 3.0 auto K406 XFX - Like the Corsa but just with speed. Spent more time being fixed than going, now scrapped.
09-10: Peugeot 205 1.8TD M510 KJT - Fantastic car, pretty quick, handled well and never went wrong, sold it to a mate and miss it. On over 175000 miles!
09-N/A: Renault Clio 182 Trophy AV55 EUL - Very happy with this (apart from the build quality). Very understated and quick. Bloody great pile of win!.

Want a red Lotus Elise S1 though now! :roll:

I missed the old thread and I don't think I can remember all the cars I've had but here's a rough list which includes some very rough cars...lol.

Vauxhall Viva
Vauxhall Chevette
Opel Kadett Coupe
Ford Escort Van (XR2 Engined)
MG Metro
Daihatsu Charade GTti
Vauxhall Carlton GSi 24v
Fiat Panda
Citroen BX Gti
MG Montego
Rover 216 Vitesse
Hyundai Pony
Rover Metro
Ford Escort Encore
Alfa 33 Cloverleaf
Rover 620 SLi
Rover 623 GSi
Ford Focus TDCi
Vauxhall Omega CDX LPG
Ford Puma

Jeez, it's really hard to remember them and I know I've missed some off here that I only had a couple of years back but can't remember the name of them, in particular a bluey purply korean thingy..lol (and I thought I was a car nut...lol)

I notice that I seem to stick close to either Vauxhall, Ford or Rover with the odd tester of something else but Vauxhall seems to be my marque of choice. Must be something about them as I 'think' my next one will be a VXR8 if I can ever find one I like that isn't sold before I get to see it :(

I also have noticed that there is ONLY the Omega that I actually wanted before I bought it. ALL the rest were either spur of the moment buys or one's that were offered to me for little money. I'm a lot more decisive when it comes to motorbikes.
 
my car history consists of...

2007-2008 -1997 Vauxhall Corsa Breeze 1.2
2008-2008 - 1999 T Ford Puma
2008 - now - 1999 V Ford Puma
