As Brucie would say..
Good game, good game Mark, great idea, great fun.
...so here's mine, the key being: What I Wanted >> What I Got (with explanation/excuses) - pics may follow, if I get time later... (1) Golf GTi>> Beetle/Toyota Corolla (nae money...  )(2) Fiat Uno Turbo>> Fiat Uno (new family  )(3) Mazda Miata >> Peugeot 405 (growing family  )(4) TVR Tuscan >> Peugeot 405 SRi (still growing family, but 7 year petrolhead itch..  )(5) Alfa 164 >>> Volvo 850 Estate (to avoid dying in yet another car crash - no regrets though, fabulous car, I want mine back again!...  )(6) Alfa GTV >>>Fiat Coupe (though not really a regret!  )(7) Audi S8 >> Audi S8 (the one that didn't get away!  )(6) Tesla Roadster >> Tesla Model S (not much of a regret either, really  )

The 405 SRi was no looker but it was a surprisingly nice car to drive. I drove a company-owned 405 SRi frequently in the early 90's, about the same time as I owned my own Citroen BXs. The 405 shared a lot of parts with the BX but I think it actually drove better.

This is probably sacrilegious being an Audi based forum......
A6 Allroad 3.0TDI >>>> Infiniti FX30d. Two different vehicles but the attitude of the audi salesman killed the deal. RS4 Avant >>>>> Subaru Legacy 3.0R Car sold about 10 minutes before I arrived at the dealership I'll end up with an Audi as a daily drive someday!

Porsche 996 C4S > Audi S8 D3
Not strictly one after the other, but I had two cars in my sights and I was looking at the C4S first, came really close, but paths crossed with Porsche specialists Fensport and they said to avoid all 996 except the Mezger engined turbos, if I couldnt afford that, buy the S8, so I did.
