    Thought this would be good fun. Of course many of you here have some awesome cars in the garage today, but lets list everything we have owned right back from that (probably awful) first car:

    In Order:
    1995 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 GS200
    2002 Nissan Micra Tempest
    Currently drive:
    2005 Mini One Convertible (dads!)

    So over to you, ever horror and beauty that you have been lucky (or unlucky) enough to own :D

    Al whats the longest youve been without owning a car, mines when I sold the Midget to save up for an MGB, I lasted 2 weeks and bought an Cambridge Estate, I remember knocking him down from 40 quid to 35, that would be in about 72.
