Well im only just 22 but im already on my 3rd car..... I do love cars. I started off with my Ford Focus 1.6 which was heavily modified. But i loved it until it kept breaking!

Then i got the chance to get a 2 seater cheap of a family member, so i did, and it was amazing. What an amazing car the TF was. Little go kart, my last sign of childhood. I sold it just before my 22nd birthday...

But now ive gone all mature and completely fell in love with the Bravos, was going to buy a sport but the dynamic was the sensible option. So i got my 150MJ.

Well thats my history, what about everyone elses?
 
Cheers, loved the GTA but it was getting on a bit and despite the V6 engine blowing the Fiat into the dust the rest of the car was beginning to feel and show its 5 years and 75,000 miles. The Bravo is very nice and insulted in comparison but you don't feel the same magic in it.
 
Started off driving the families 1.4 Tipo... then got given a 1.9 TD Tipo when I was driving to Sheffield and back every weekend.. When the headgasket started to fail on that I got my first car...

1998 Seat Ibiza 1.4 Estilo

That was written off, and from the payout I bought another 1.9TD Tipo with money spare.

The black tipo was scrapped when it's oil cooler broke and a bodged clutch replacement by Mr Clutch made it too much work to fix.. plus by then I'd bought the car below. Tipo Sedicivalvole.

I managed a while with just the Tipo Sedici, but fuel costs and child seats in 3 door cars eventually led me to buy this from absolutely the other end of the country on the 'nod' from a FF member who had a look at it for me. Marea 1.9 JTD

After a while the yearning for more power was strong - so time for the hen's teeth.. 2.4 Marea 130JTD

And eventually the Stilo was phased out and I fell in love with the new Bravo. Bought one straight away.

Man I had to think hard for this ....

Also started in 1982 and actually started off with my dream car (reasonable one that is, not a Lambo or the like. lol) on my old man's insurance.

1) Triumph Dolomite Sprint
2) Mini 1000
3) MG Midget
4) Ford Escort MK I 1300
5) Triumph Dolomite Sprint (Stage 2 tuned, awesome!)
6) Fiat 132 (First love of Fiat!)
7) Toyota Celica ST
8) Mini 1275 GT (race tuned, sublime)
9) Rover 3500S P6
10) Renault 14 (same time as above, used for work due to Rover's 16 mpg! lol)
11) Fiat X1/9
12) Alfa Romeo Gullieta 2.0
13) BMW 520
14) Ford Orion 1.6 (Marriage! Grrrrrrrrrrr)
15) Ford Granada 2.0
16) Rover 820
17) Rover Sterling 820 Coupe (Still one of the best cars I have ever owned)
18) Mitsubishi Colt DI-D - Current motor, love it but not exactly comfortable for an old fart like me. Superb semi-auto box + Merc 1.5 turbo diesel 3 cyl engine that shocks most people with the amount of torque & quick acceleration it has.

19) Bravo Sport - About to order. Was between this and the Volvo C30 (I'm still torn if I'm being honest) but the Volvo now has a 5-6 month waiting list wheras I need my car by mid March. Looking forward to it! :cool:
