Only 19 so very short but interesting car history
1.4 escort as first car but was 75bhp and painfully slow

So then built a 265bhp turbo lump for it along with ap brakes etc

Next brought a 2wd saphire cosworth naturally as i dont think id be alowwed in work without owning one lol

Thats an ongoing project just needs an engine which will be doing next year.
Then fell in love with the frp so decided to break my escort to fund frp481 as a daily

Then brought number 481 which brings me up to date this is how it looks now

'97 Rover 416 saloon (awful car but nice engine)
'87 Toyota MR2 Mk1 (another awesome car)
'91 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5 GLX (suprisingly good)
'98 Peugeot 306 1.4 XN (loved this one also - couldn't kill it and skinny tyre = oversteer fun)
'00 Primera estate diesel (bought it to move house in then sold it very soon after)
'88 Toyota MR2 Mk1 (Never go back.... This one was an utter pup)
'97 VW Polo 1.4 (Dull but the only car I ever sold at a profit)

'07 Citroen C1 (Great fun and cost almost nothing to run)
'06 Citroen C4 (liked it but don't miss it)
'03 Subaru Forester XT (still pending.... Cost alot so far...)

Project cars

3. MG MGF (First car actually owned by me)
4. Ford Ka (Bought for my other half to learn in)
5. 1.4L Ford Fiesta MK6.5 (Ford Ka only survived a year due to rust so needed a replacement)

Current:
6. 1.4 TDCI Ford Fiesta (Will be my other half's car when she finally passes her driving test currently my daily commuter)
7. 1.7L Ford Puma (Will be my daily once my other half passes hoping not too long now)

Also had a few motorbikes as well but will leave them off as this is for car history.

Then to two wheels:
Honda Melody
Piaggio Skipper ST125

Then back to 4 wheels:
Fiesta MK4 1.25
Ford Puma 1.7 - never seen one before. Looked at it, liked it & bought it.
Ford Puma 1.7 Thunder

 

[Crow]

Blue Rover 200 1.4 W reg hatchback with a sunroof. Good first car for a new driver. Called Marcus (Yes I name my cars)
Marcus ran out of oil so ended up driving end-of-life cars till I could raise the money for something half decent, so:

Red Nissan Micra 1 litre. V reg. Called Scarlet. Was horrible, will never have another one (especially after they changed the shape >.<). Failed it's MoT so I scrapped it and got:

White Pug 305 1.8 W reg. Called Tank (cos it was huge, and it meant I would be Tank girl). Scared the life out of me bacause it would turn left if I didn't fully concentrate. Another MoT failure prompted me to find another car which was:

Yellow Ford Puma Millenium edition 1.7 Y reg, called Beryl (cos she was a yellow peril). While the car was not a complete deathtrap (she at least drove straight with no hands, and the chassis wasn't about to fall apart like the Micra's), she was not a well car, and would cost more than getting a replacement in better condition to sort out. So I traded her in for:

Red Ford Puma 1.7 02 reg, called Arya. Not the saddest name I called a car since the other names were from films or comic books (and in the case of the Micra, a colour - but the car was totally uninspiring), but a tomboy princess from the north seemed apt.
