Gone right off the Audi A1, decided they are too expensive for what you get, and my new next door but one neighbour has got a top of the range A1 Quattro and I don't think it looks that special.
Decided now I want the Range Rover Evoque, keep seeing them everywhere and think they look the business. Can't afford new so will be second -hand.

VW splitscreen, one of my mates has one of them they pull some right looks
When I brought that they cost next to nothing, I can only dream of getting another they price they cost now, even a Bay window is out of the budget. I really do wish I had kept it, not only because I'd be the king of cool in it 8) but all the memories that bus contained I would say it's really the only car I was attached to. But I still see it at a few of the VW shows and the current owners love it as much as I did/do so that's cool.TwistedMetal said:VW splitscreen, one of my mates has one of them they pull some right looks
Bit of a petrolhead here, but less so these days as I live in London and park on the street.
I've had, in this order:
1985 Astra CL (my first car in the mid/late 1990s)
Lotus Elise S2 (first car I bought myself, straight out of uni)
BMW M5 - bloody epic, although rather thirsty!
Lotus 340R - amazing (although tricky close to the limit), but no roof/doors limited it to fun runs only... got some incredible attention though.
Golf GTI Anniversary - meh (this signalled my move to London when things got a bit boring and sensible)
Focus ST (proper 'sensible' hooligan, but the only car I have ever got car sick in as a passenger)
My current car is a Clio 200 Cup which I use for Sainsbury's runs and trackdays. I also quite often hire a Caterham R300 for trackdays. which helps keep the bug alive and stops me buying something completely unsuited to London life.
Looking at something new next year, but depends on a house move, and if we get a driveway or garage and, most importantly, have any money left over. I'd like a v8 Vantage, BMW 1M, or C63 AMG but it all depends on a lot of factors, so probably unlikely. Maybe the year after.

Great again to see everyone's choices of cars over the years.

Hey max,
Which version of the M5 did you have? I had an e46 m3. The m sport division makes epic cars, but the experience of owning one is an unusual thing at best. When i used to take it out and boot it, there was no better feeling. It drank oil and fuel and the dashboard lights might as well have been £ signs. They must have been nearly worn out the amount they were on and off. The thing was so highly strung.
My mates brother has a Ferrari. He reckons it spends between 50 and 60 % of its time not working, and the battery is almost always flat. Think it's about 6 years old so it's not a classic.
