Did this at work a while back (hence the story with each) - always quite chuffed when I look at it as a lot of good memories attached to some of them.
2 mini (998 and a 1275) and a clubman estate which were grasstrack cars before I got my licence - a number of other Minis sacrificed in the name of ploughing around fields in tiny cars. Nova GSI in white with White 16 inch MOs - first car and I wrote it off in 4 months taking a brand new Favorit estate with it. Sadly said Skoda belonged to my then girlfriend's Uncle so I got dumped and had no car that Christmas. Nova 1.4 SR - had it for a week then realised I needed insurance. Soon realised its proper expensive insuring a car after you've cost said insurer £25k inc costs, compensation, health bills, corporate boxes and whatever other curse word they use to justify claims going through the roof so had to sell it. 2 years car free at uni riding push bikes and drinking Polo breadvan orignally a 1.1 4 speed became a 2.0ltr 16v on twin webers - run into the back of by a guy in Grantham with no insurance so was broken and scrapped 1973 Dodge LWB panel van on Dunlop knobblies and banded steels. Painted flat green with gloss black flames and went all over Europe racing mountain bikes in it when LPG was as cheap as water - eventually gave it away in a competiton at a race I organised. 1.0 Metro - gave it to my brother for uni but slowly rotted away. 1981 Golf Gti - My first proper dream car realised, owned this for almost a decade, just finished its 20vT install so is my daily for a bit. mk1 golf gti 1600 - bought of a friend for spares really, - still have it. mk1 polo 898cc, mk1 Jetta, 2x mk1 caddy's, mk1 passat, 1100cc mk1 polo, 1971 notchback, 1963 splitty - got an advance for my move to Canada and Dad has lots of storage space so bought up a lot of my friends dubs so they could come travelling still have them all. 2001 Dodge Magnum - first car from a sponsiship deal with Dodge, parked it in a tree after misjudging a corner somewhat. 2001 Dodge Magnum, lent it to a guy claiming to be my new mechanic, never saw him or the car again. 2001 Dodge minivan - Got this stuck on Whistler mountain doing shuttle runs, left it there for a week, which turned into a month and by which time we'd had 6 feet of snow, never managed to track it down again until a mate found it a few summers later a good few hundred feet futher down the mountain than I thought it was. Dodge Ram 1500 - Parked this in the tree under the 2002 Magnum. Dodge Ram 2500 twin axle - Engine blew, then caught fire (that my story and I'm sticking to it) 2001 Dodge caravan - wrapped it around a telegraph pole in Vancouver 2002 Dodge Neon - engine failure in the Nevada desert, could still be there 2002 Dodge Neon - inadvertently set on fire, the worst car I'd ever driven. 2003 Dodge Ram Hemi edition - jacked up on 44 inch tyres and twin Fox coilies and straight throughs, was great off road....well it never got stuck, but a liability anywhere else. Whilst trying to undertake a mate in his F150 I hit a corner and clipped a lampost thus launching me roof first into a shop window in Vancouver. This ended the sponsorship deal with Dodge as between a team of 5 we got through 48 cars in 9 months which in hindsight is neither big nor clever. 1973 and a 1979 Mustang - first had terminal rot and sold to a restorer, 2nd one I gave to my mechanic when I moved home 1971 Camaro - is at my old doctor's parent's ranch in California, a dream realised to be honest V10 expedition - Even in the US 4mpg was ridiculous for a daily and was huuuuge! 2001 1500 Dodge Ram diesel - Gave it to a friend who spent 6 months at my bedside and another 4 driving me to physio everyday after I broke my back - he still has it. A number (5-10) of winter crappers - basically if you live in a ski resort people's cars get abandoned/left if the weather hits. The local council imponds them and if they're not collected in 90 days they're crushed. If you knwo the right people you used to be able to buy them from the scrap metal guy before he crushed them then give them back when they died/you got bored/realised they were abandoned for good reason. a 1980s mustang was the most fun I had, a friend still has the first generation Toyota Land Cruiser we bought. 1979 Dodge dayvan in brown with gold weller style steels and whitewalls. We abandoned it at Toronto airport with the keys behind the rear number plate if you fancy it? My brother went back last year not expecting it to still be there, the car park guy says he washes it and keeps the tyres up as its a good crash pad when he's to drunk to go home!) Mk3 golf 8v Gti - sold to a friend of a friend, who wrote it off on the way home 2dr Chevy Bel Air, Pontiac trans-Am (like the Bandits), 1970s Chevy Nova and 1973 Camaro - In an attempt to apease my mother, my father "gave" me four cars to keep the peace (his, not mine) 1996 Pug 105 NA diesel - sold it 1979 mk1 Scirocco - Still have it Citroen Bx NA diesel - after the hydraulic suspension failed, drove it on the floor till the tax ran out then buried it on my mates farm on his motorocross track. mk4 Escort - bought of a work mate to complete a ramshackle rally to Velencia - engine seized when we got there. B3 passat 1.6TD - car we used to get back from Valencia - such waftability that I bought it then had to weigh it at the next MOT due to rot and the "graphics" being offensive to the locals. Mk1 Caddy 1.6TD - sold to a guy from Ipswich and recently went on ebay for 4 times what I sold it for - grrrr Citoren Zx volcane diesel - in the process of breaking it if anyone needs owt 1996 2.0ltr 16v rado - sold it for parts 1997 B4 passat Tdi - sold it to a workmate Looking for a new daily now, possibly a B3 passat or LPG Lexus LS400

Hmm, since '96 when I passed my test: '88 Lancia Y10 Fila - lovely, bright red seats & electric windows and central locking in what was essentially a panda in a smart suit. Still got some bits now.
'91 Rover 214SLi - As with several others reading through, really liked it. Rolled over several times & I walked away, can't ask for more.
'90 Fiat Panda Sergio Tacchini (my first one) Loved it, so simple. Wife took it into an argument with a transit. Survived but not for long after as the battle scars were never worth fixing.
'89 Fiat Uno 45 - dung brown interior, 4 speed box, water feature in the drivers footwell due to leaky door. Rust got it strangely...
'91 Kia pride - .....well I liked it! First car I ever sold before it died, guy came to look, would not start, faffed on for ages, eventually got it running and he bought it!! Claim to fame? Ran a cat with a carb! My garage swore blind that box in the middle of the exhaust was just a silencer after they looked under the bonnet until they stuck a probe up the tailpipe and saw the emissions!
'85 Nissan Cherry - proper retro even then. Only 22000 on the clock when I got it and drove properly like a new one. Getting rusty underneath though so didn't keep it for long.
'92 Citroen ZX 1.9TD - Quickest car I ever owned, turbo made a lovely swoosh as it spooled up, comfy seats. Great car.
'90 Fiat Panda Sergio Tacchini 'Grumbleweed' - Current runner, been together for 9 years now.
'90 Peugeot 405 1.9 petrol - last of the carb'd cars. Lovely drive but heavy on the juice and a bit big for my tastes
'97 Fiat Punto 60SX - bought to do a massive commute to avoid killing the Panda. Did it very well, astonishingly willing little engine for 60 horse. So sorry I sold it instead of pilfering the engine for Grumbleweed really.
'93 Fiat Panda CLX - spares... still got a lot of it stashed around the place.
'00 Peugeot 206 Roland Garros - Leather, aircon, electrics, glass roof, tiny mileage, got it for free off my mum after she panicked just because I snapped 2 tie rods in 2 weeks on the Panda and she thought I should have a 'proper' car. Not very retro (yet) but a bit of a guilty pleasure, it is quite a nice place to be.
