[nickb]

In not necessarily chronological order...

1984 Skoda Estelle 120LS (Vomit Orange... Polished KN rims, slammed, big carb'd - cold as ice!).... blew engine up then had its roof chopped off and painted black with flames to become "greased lightening" in my brother's school play...

1986 Skoda Estelle 105S - Parts source for the above

1983 Vauxhall Cavalier 1600L - Bought for £5 (half-share). My mate rolled it into a field the same evening. Oops.

1982 Mini Mayfair - unfinished wide arch 1275... vandalised and donated to young offenders ministox project

1983 Mini Mayfair - 1275cc held together with rust and moss... met it's fate as above...

1979 Mini 1000 - guess where that one went

1981 Ford Escort 1600 Ghia... Towed away by Leicester City Council. They were welcome to it...

1990 Ford Escort 1300 Pop. - "pool" vehicle in our student slum. Hideous in every respect other than girls liked student types with cars...

1991 Peugeot 205 Trio S - the most expensive car I ever bought! Slammed, 15in Black steels, big stereo, fart can ( )... sold to unsuspecting mug with a screwed headgasket.

1989 Vauxhall Astra 1600L Estate - Sold to the travellers.

1987 Ford Escort 1300 Pop. - You'd have thought I'd have learned my lesson. But no! Utter wibblepoo. This one had full XR3i lookylike going on. Nasty. Sold to my brother in law.

1989 Vauxhall Astra 1600L Estate - Stolen by the travellers

1982 Toyota Carina in dogpoo brown. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. The rest of the world disagreed. Sold at a profit.

2000 Vauxhall Corsa - My other half's transport until the offspring forced her to get something larger. Possibly the most offensive car ever. Powered by a 3-cylinder lawnmower engine and designed to be driven by dwarves. Repellent. Sold it to her mother. ;D

1993 Vauxhall Astra 1400LSi - duller than a damp weekend in Droitwich. Unfeasably reliable and economical. Sold at a profit.

2002 Citroen Berlingo 2.0HDi - unspeakably curse word company vehicle. Complete opposite of above Astra I flogged when I got it.

1998 Vauxhall Astra 1600LSi - (still got) the other halfs transport. More terminal dullness, now slightly uprated.

1987 Volvo 760 Turbo Wagon - Belongs to my dad but often hi-jacked for removals / waste disposal pursoses

1990 BMW 318iS - (still got) The best car. Ever. FACT. NOT for sale. Ever.

1985 BMW 316 - bought and sold (at vast profit) in under a week

1984 VW Polo - err.. let's not even go there, OK?

1987 Skoda Estelle - chopped up for bits. ;D

1974 Ford Escort 1300L Wagon - Still got. The wife hates it. Must be OK then. ;D

[penski]

Various minis bought for less than £20, 'cage' (read as: roll bar) and seat installed after stripping out and killed by hooning round courses in fields over weekends.

A couple of rwd scrotes that met their death in the same manner.

Rover mini Paul Smith edition. Bought for a pittance (3 figure sum) at an estate-auction and sold for a vast profit that kept me in CDs, drugs and alcohol for a few months...wish I'd kept it. Infact, I wish I'd snaffled up more of the rich dead guy's stuff at the time.

Currently looking for something to be my first 'real' car...Can't get that P5B coupé out of my head...Currently thinking of getting an absolute shi­tter of a polo for 12 months or maybe a little less so I can save up a few grand for a decent one...whilst still modding the polo.

1975 Mercedes 200 - Love it. Miss it. Needs engine in it. Now.
1985 VW Golf 1.3 - Owner emigrated, never registered my name on log book. Drove it like a nutter. Without getting caught!
1998 Rover 220 TD (Bubble) - Was my car when I lived in Portugal. Learned a whole new way of driving (i.e.: no rules, watch for the pot-holes, and the guy giving a lift to three generations of his family on his moped ). Got through two tyres per week on those roads due to the holes! ;D Quite pokey though!
1996 Ford Mundano 1.8 Diesel Estate - Another left-hooker I had in Portugal. Slower than a glacier. Total waste of time and effort. I'd rather have walked!
1991 Daihatsu Sportrak - Me and my bro had it. Loads of laughs! Held together with zip ties and gaffer tape in the end due to many an "off-road" incident. Sold when we realised it was actually made up of two Sportraks....
1984 Ford Sierra XR4i - half finished Cossy replica me and my bro bought. Broken for spares
1991 Hyudai Pony - Tragic. Just tragic....

Probably missed some out.... never mid that's most of em.

* = Spares car/project/ heap that wasn’t on the road (as opposed to a heap that WAS on the road)
I THINK these are in the right order, but the passage of time has thankfully blurred the details of some of them, and some I owned concurrently. (Still got the Skoda, Sceptre & Astra Diesel)
