1982 Austin Princess 1.7hls (hand me down from old man)
1984 Nissan Praire 1.5 - (2nd hand me down from old man- preferred the princess!)
1986 Vauxhall Nova 1.2 (first car with my own money - loved it!)
1987 Ford Escort 1.4L (Held together with rust, **** car, blew engine doing 110 downhill on the M1)
1986 Ford Fiesta (didn't learn my lesson from the Escort, **** drive but utterly reliable rust bucket, taught me a lot about DIY maintenance)
1993 Ford Sierra 1.6 (No PAS, still didn't learn my lesson from the Escort, again **** to drive but utterly reliable, rear wheel drive fun in the wet).
1983 VW Golf Mk1 3 Door (came along so I bought it, retro classic).
1995 Rover 214SEI (nice car when it worked and you didn't worry too much about the build quality).
1993 Honda Prelude 2.2i (lovely car, cornered like it was on rails apart from the time I spun it on a roundabout).
1988 Mercedes 190e (in light Ivory with dodgy bodykit, looked like a failed pimps car, but bought on 176k for £600, sold on 200k for £400, never broke down once, can't say fairer than that).
1997 Mercedes CLK 200 (very nice but very dull).
1989 BMW 535i Sport Manual (superb).
1996 BMW 540i Touring Auto Individual (had a hard life, sold soon after buying).
1996 BMW 540i Touring Auto (had an easy life, looked for a 6 speed manual touring but couldn't a good find one, still love it though.

The years given are the years of the cars, I only started driving in 1996, 14 cars in 12 years sounds bad but some were second cars bought because they came along or I just liked them.

Then there were about 4 F150 Pickups in there that I used for work, and of course my daughters 1993 190e Mercedes Special Edition.

To all the cars I've loved before....this is over my lifetime and starts out when I was 14 in the old '57 pickup, that thing rattled like there was no tomorrow. So the list is over a time period of 37 years.

From 1989 to 1991, I owned a rusted as hell 1981 Toyota Starlet.
It's a model that survived only one year or two in Canada. The equivalent of a Toyota Tercel of the day.

After that I used public transit only. Until e34 came along of course, two and a half year ago.
