Too old to remeber all of them but...

First ever car, Mini reg 501 LKL (yes, I can still remember it, but it was my first ever car...)

Two more Minis,

Four or five Imps,

Then I grew up and got married...

Cavalier SRi (!!!),
along with a Dolomite Sprint as my "project" then,
followed by a Cossie 4X4 (which I still have),
A Lotus Elite (another project, but unfinished)
A Series 3 LandRover (diesel) which has to be my slowest vehicle ever, but great in winter in rural Suffolk,
A Dutton kit car (another project unfnished),
Then a "modern" so I could keep the mileage down on the Cossie,....
An 03 plate Mondeo TDCi - the worst piece of crap I've ever bought, the "Dual Mass Flywheel" started to self destruct 3 months after the warranty expired, then Autumn 2007, the turbo bearings failed. And it's a diesel !!!

And now, two Minis, one my son's and the other, my latest project.
