Twelve cars - at age 22? Bloody hell, you must get bored on a month to month basis!

Haha yeh, i guess so. Just like to enjoy them i guess. The Avensis was the longest owned car ive had, 7 or 8 months i think.
Only reason i sold that as we were saving up for a baby on the way, even tho we orgianlly got it for the baby on the way, however we needed something cheaper to run and the tax was due so was time for a change, and we bought the Panda 100HP. Great car, rather fun but think its a bit too cramped so thats up forsale now lol.
 
Some decent cars in that collection.
1. 84 VW Polo (squareback)
2. 91 VW Jetta (big bumper)
3. 99 Fiat Seicento Sporting (Abarth kitted)
4. 00 Fiat Bravo SX 100 Trofeo

6. 99 VX Embarrassment (mk4 astra)
7. 98 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting

Some seriously nice cars being listed here. I started late and stupidly throwing myself into the evils of finance at the tender age of 23. Had driven my Dad's cars since I passed my test - first a 1 litre Uno "Start" 5dr, which rolled like a bastard and had the steering wheel off a bus but loved that car. Did loads of "teenage" driving in it :D

Then, my Dad got a non-injection 1.6 K-reg Ford Orion. Actually had a blast in that even though it handled terribly. First car with a sunroof, loads of space and a spoiler on the back :D Only car I've ever written off. Did so in an amusing way though - trying to push start it by myself, managed to, got back in just in time to hit a car at 20mph, which hit another and another...oops :laugh:

Fair few rental cars and such have been driven in between those and since and my Dad's current mk1 1.0 Yaris is alright. It's lasted a fair while with my Dad's lack of mechanical sympathy :laugh:

But anyway, the car's I've owned (on finance). Get ready, it's a long list...

LEH the mk2 1.2 8v Punto Active between '04 and '06, never really got on with it all that much, hence this being the only pic I ever had. Plus, I only had a crap camera phone at the time.

And then...

RGZ the giant killing 1.2 16v Stilo Active. Has given me it's fair share of highs and (mainly currently) lows, but love this car. Will be sorry to see it go.
