Well...

Following images all grabbed from the web...

My first car was one of these, in this awful colour.

Ford Escort 1.3

In no particular order now. Over the following years I owned no less than five of these cheeky Golfs ranging from a '75 1100L through to a '97 2.0 GTI

I had three of these, the MK.2 Opel Manta 2.0SR, all very uneconomical automatics.

One of these, the deceptively quick Fiat 128 3P.

More recently, three of these, the dull but incredibly reliable Ford Mondeo.

And the latest is one of these in this colour, a Skoda Octavia vRS recently with a remapped engine, now producing 230bhp which is fun considering it weighs about the same as a tin of biscuits!

Dont get me started on my two wheelers, your forum isn't big enough...

Skoda are as you probably know now owned by the VW Audi Group but they are still made in the Czech Republic. Open the bonnet (hood) and bar a bit of branding, it's all VW.

I've owned over 30 bikes, most different to each other so you understand my reluctance to start a post on that!

In the driveway these days:

2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab. In the background is the 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab
I bought in 2000. It has 321,000+ miles on it,and still runs pretty good!

These are web shots of an identical car I have in the driveway. 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati.
Hand built in Italy, with 4 cylinder turbo Chrysler engine. Not very many of these around.
