You are not wrong. Still have a soft spot for old Fords, though. I would love a mint, standard 1983 Caspian Blue XR3i.

Mine's an oddly short list for me - I've owned other cars with my dad but they weren't regularly used by me so have left them off the list.

Passed test aged 17 in 1991

1987 Nissan Micra 1.0L – parents car but they never saw the keys after I passed my test!
1967 Ford Cortina Mk2 1300 Deluxe 4 door - first car I found and paid for! Later donated to my parents to drive
1969 Ford Cortina Mk2 2 door with varying power - saw me through Uni
1970 Sunbeam Imp Sport with 930cc engine - project
1981 VW Golf GTI 1.6 - shed
1984 VW Passat GL5 hatchback – first car with power steering and electric windows!!
Sold the previous 4 cars which were all hanging about still to buy:
1992 Citroen BX 16Valve - almost reliable
1993 Citroen ZX 1.8 Furio 3 door - superb buy and cost buttons to run
1999 Citroen Xsara 2.0 16V VTS Coupe - properly quick in its day
2005 Seat Leon Cupra R 225 – only new car we’ve ever owned and regret selling it to this day
1998 VW Passat 1.8T Sport estate with tiptronic auto – bought to save the Leon’s wheels from kerbing and for house DIY duties!
2004 Audi A6 3.0 quattro Sport Avant – still got
2002 Audi S8 4.2 Final Edition – still got

Asked Mrs Cozza about the engine size on the Passat V6, and she said it was a 2.8 V6

The reason I asked her is because she mostly drove it

See later in thread - list updated.

Also, we have owned a 2002 "02" Mondeo Estate 2.0TD [wife's], a 1991 "J" Peugeot 405 2.0 [only had this for a week] a 1994 "M" Audi 80 1.9 TDi [again, wife's] and a 1992 "J" Clio 1.1 [wife had this when we married in 1998 ]

[cozza]

This is Mrs Cozza's [Anna's] list [just asked her now] :

1. 1982 VW Polo 1.3 "X"
2. 1989 Vauxhall Nova 1.0 "F"
3. 1992 Renault Clio 1.1 "J" [she had this when we met in early 1994 and when we got married in summer 1998]
4. 1994 Audi 80 1.9 TDi "M"
5. 2002 Ford Mondeo Estate 2.0TD "02"
6. 2004 Škoda Octavia Estate 1.9 TDi "04" [Her current car]

She's 42 [born February 12, 1970] and passed her test in 1991, whilst I passed mine in 1986 =)

She does a lot of miles, as she works as Head of English at a school and also as a pharmacist at ASDA [during weekends] =D

[cozza]

I also drove my parent's [Ian, sadly dead since early 2005, and Erin (69 and still active )] 1979 "T" Cortina 2.3 and 1984 "B" Escort 1.6 [Erin's car, whilst Ian had Mazda ] whilst learning to drive in late 1985

Erin currently has a 2011 "11" Fiesta 1.4 TDCi =)
She bought it brand new in June last year, replacing her 2003 "03" Corsa 1.4
