My list
1973 Mini 1.0
1987 Renault 5 Rio
1988 Renault 5 GTX 1.4
1988 Ford Orion 1.6i Ghia (cheaper insurance than XR3i, plus bigger boot for my 'sounds')
1993 Honda Prelude 2.0i-4WS-16 (one of the best cars I've owned, let down by roof leaking water in copious amounts due to blocked drainage channels - benefits of hindsight and the tinterweb)
1996 Citroen Saxo 1.4 (SWMBO was learning to drive a manual)
1994 Honda Legend saloon - great car, very comfy and quite rare.
1999 Audi A8 4.2 my car before I left the UK for Uruguay
2000 Audi A8L my current one.
Interesting note - my crazy parents decided to buy a Bedford CA ambulance (ALR 656B reg.) in the 70s and then took us all on a cross-Europe trip to Billund, Denmark to go and see the original Legoland. Looking back now, that was a bit mental. 1500cc engine and a three speed gearbox. I do remember us being stuck in a lorry park in Antwerp whilst my resourceful father went looking for someone to fix the starter motor, a problem that couldn't be fixed with the usual 'whack the starter motor with a hammer to release the stuck solenoid' fix ;-)
