Well, i'm a one-car person... :grin: especially since cars are ****-expensive here.

Anyway, the list of cars driven (not necessarily owned) is such:
1) 198X - Toyota Starlet (nowadays many buy this for drifting projects)
2) 2000 - Proton Wira
3) 199X - Citroen XM
4) 200X - Proton Tiara
5) Now - Volvo 855 T5 and a Honda Civic ED6

;) I've driven too many to remember, but owned:
Volvo 340 GL
Volvo 440 Turbo
Vauxhal Cavalier LS
Citroen AX (Never again!)
Volvo 740
Land Rover 109
Volvo S40

The last two I still have. but the others are sadly gone to the scrappy in the sky except the AX, that wouldn't die no matter how hard I tried to kill it!

Driven too many to mention

Owned

1990 Ford Orion 1.6L
1991 Citroen AX
1992 Vauxhall Nova 1.2 (Brown!)
1994 Opel Cadet 1.2 Coupe Sport (White with Kawasaki Green Stripes!)
1996 Ford Orion 1.6L Diesel (YUK!)
1997 VW Golf 1.3
1999 Ford Sierra Sapphire 2.0i
2001 Toyota Corolla 1.3GS (lovely car but too small when baby arrived!)
2004 Volvo 340 (very old, stop gap car bought for £150, very rusty!)
2005 Volvo 440 1.9TD

My personal favourite moment driving a car I didn't own was when a friend of mine let me drive his Ferrari 360 Modena 8 laps around Donington Park at a track day. Fantastic fun!

Second fave experience was hitting 130mph on the Edinburgh Bypass in a Toyota Celica Supra 2.8i in the early hours of one morning - but that experience taught me I am not cut out for driving at speed, it was too scary and never again!


Edited to add the Citroen which was a totally forgettable experience - at 2 years old it started letting water in through somewhere in the roof, it began dripping out of the interior light while in a car wash one day and that was the tip of the iceberg of problems!

Apart from the Volvo, I drive a mercedes sprinter van which has to be the worst drive ever. Especially in the wet. Like Bambi on ice those things. Also a Vivaro cdti which is a damn fine little van to drive. Quite nippy and corners like a dream. Even at speed

My 100 mile daily drive is my 1991 440 (186000 miles)
my occasional is the 1991 940 turbo
before that I had:-
another 440,
3 x 340's plus a spare that never ran
a VW jetta
a bedford camper van
a transit parcel van
a lada
a VW variant
a ford escort
a bmw bike R80RS
a yamaha bike
several Honda bikes
a kawasaki z250C bike
oh and a peugeot moped

of all these I have liked the Volvos best as at 6 foot 4" I fit volvos - other cars can be a bit small.
