28. Sold my supercharged VR6, bought Merc 500SEL/sold 500SEL and purchased Honda NC30, purchased my RX two weeks ago.

If you include the wifes cars - I seem to always end up paying for them.  Then I have had a Saxo (load os rubbish), Mark 3 Golf GTI and I still have a Mark 2 Convertible GTI Sportline...

Must have spent loads and loads and loads, every single one of mine have been modified in some way apart from the herald & the mopeds.

Wife wants a Civic Type R now.

Westfield SEi-W (160bhp) good when it worked, unfortunately it spent as much time with my mechanic as me.   ie after 4 weeks of getting stuff done, collect car early am head off to trackday, mid afternoon come back to the car to find more oil on the ground than in the car.  Quick bodge repair with fanta bottle and drive back to the garage :rolleyes:  Sold to get something that wouldn\'t fall apart and had a roof - Glasgow is too wet for your ownly car not to have a roof.  Before that:

Impreza Turbo (Euro Import) most over-rated car I have ever been in, had it for sale within the first month unfortunately my spoiler went walkabout, then it got keyed and I couldn\'t afford to get rid of it.  Once I accepted  the fact it was 100bhp shy of enough power to test the chassis in the dry, useful for chasing bikes on back roads but little else.  Really good in the wet or snow infact it was great in any sort of condition where it isn\'t generally safe to drive quickly.  Sold to get something cheaper to run (house buying ain\'t cheap) and more involving to drive.  Previously:

Saxo VTR bought just after the car was released (so before the Max muppet brigade got hold of them) and really rated it as a car.  Just about quick enough for a daily driver, handled neatly and was stupidly economical (even sitting at 120+ for a whole tank it would return 36mpg).  Sold it as I wanted something that accelerated quicker that I wouldn\'t feel the need to drive so quickly the whole time.

[MikeLMR]

my mate had an xjs v12 ... fantastic cars appart from the fact they drink more fuel than an RX !!

[t2rew]

YOUR JUST NOT DRIVING THE REX HARD ENOUGH
 jag 19 mpg
rx 17mpg:D

[MikeLMR]

XJS V12 returned about 13-14MPG for my mate (he drove it really hard by all acounts)

lowest I\'ve had the RX is an average 16mpg (although half that fill up was dual carriage way so I would guess the 20 mile return trip ate most fuel ( probably close to 10! mpg? )

\'67 VW Type 1 - 1500 model with front discs
- replaced motor, clutch and half the body
(still sat in the garage after about 11 years)

\'72 VW Type 1 -  1200 base
- never had it running
(chopped most of it up and took it up the dump during summer, just got the running gear/floorpan behind the garage now...)

\'81 Talbot Samba
- gramps car I got passed after he kicked his wicket over, never gave me any trouble in 9 months before I skipped it having bought next motor. Only car I havent replaced a clutch and engine on

\'65 MG Midget - 1098 Mk2
- great car, surprisingly quick (after I killed its 1098cc motor and fitted a \'prepared\' 1380 running a 45 DCOE any way
(still sat in grans garage out in the sticks being eaten by rodents as of 2000 when I bought next motor)

\'93 Lancia Delta Integrale Evo (\'Evo 3\' i.e. katalyst job)
- Subtle Giallo Fly Yellow. Awesome car, will buy another when I have kids if any havent rusted away by then. Still dont think many cars look so brutal and menacing in your rear-view mirror. Scooby, schmooby - the \'Grale did it first and with out A LOT more style
(crank shaft bought the farm, along with a few other internals. P/ex\'d against next car as it was starting to rust (if you knew where to look!) and the turbo was w#nked...

\'94 Mazda RX7 Type RB
- and so it came that I got my first rotor, had always loved the FD and in spite of it being red it was  agreat car. Was about to start sniffing about mods when I ended up doing a donut at about 100mph one night before parking it in a field. First car I ever owned that went thru an MOT without needing work

\'96 Mazda RX7 Type RB
- one of the early ones to get an FD from Miguel at Newera (which he will remember well as it was a total suck-hole to get SVA\'d!). Silver and lovely, came with FMIC and a few other bits and bobs. Totally abused it for 12 months running 1bar+ with no boost control, stock fuel system etc. Never missed a beat. Got the mod bug big-time. Was about to go GT35/40 when all the kids seemed to being going that route too. So thought about ported N/A 20B and finally settled upon ported single turbo 20B conversion. Work in progress (no, it is actually progressing now, honest!)

Adore all Rotors now and never see myself giving them up. Seen enough FD\'s now, looking for either a heavily mod\'d FC to play about with and totally ruin whilst using for daily transport and learning why things go pop, or an RX2, RX3, RX4 or R100 to cherish and love forever and ever

Hmm my past list is a lot more boring than most

17) 1967 MK1 Hillman Hunter (older than I was) - saw the back of more AA relay trucks than I\'d like to remember, but surprisingly sprightly - also learnt a lot about RWD on that car - used to be able to drift it very nicely :bandit

20) Renault 12 auto

20) Triumph Dolomite 1850

20) Fiat 126 - I was embarressed by it, but found the girlies loved it - also it handled very well once you got the speed up.

22) Dhiatsu Charade

24) Rover 213

27) MK 2 VW Scirroco gti

29) Alfa 164 3.0 Lusso

31) Mazda MX-5

33) 1.3 Ford Escort Estate (for parking in dodgy areas)

Current Cars
----------------
FD3S
MX-5 - currently ~208 BHP/199 ilbs per foot torque - might remove the big boost crank pulley which will take it down to only ~180 BHP
