As I celebrated 20 yrs of car ownership earlier this year, here's my list:

1987 to 1988: 1973 Opel Ascona A 19 S Automatic
1988 to 1989: 1975 Opel Ascona A 16 N
1989 to 1990: 1971 Simca 1301 GL
1990 to 1992: 1967 Simca 1000 GLA
1992 to 1994: 1971 Volvo 144 DL
1994 to 1994: 1972 Volvo 144 DL
1994 to 2001: 1991 Mazda 121 GL Canvas-Top
1998 to 2000: 1960 Peugeot 403
since 2000: 1971 Triumph 2000 Mk2 Estate Automatic
since 2004: 1995 Citroen Xantia 1.8 SX Automatic
since 2007: 1969 Triumph 2.5 PI Mk1 Automatic
2007 to 2007: 1978 Triumph 2500 S Automatic

Very modest for a car nut since the age of 2, don't you think? I believe it's got sth to to with limited funds, limited space and limited understanding of the wive...

Need to update my sig - I couldn\'t possibly list the cars I\'ve gone through in the last 18yrs as I\'d be here all day trying to remember them! Always have a fleet on the go.......<img> Currently: 73 Citroen DS - bought as a rotbox and slowly working my way to usability. 78 Alfetta GTV - was my daily until someone hit it parked - now awaiting rebuild 76 Dolomite Sprint - alternated daily duties but left in UK with parents - brother cooked the engine so now looking sorry for iteself and demanding attention sharpish! 78 Spitfire 1500 - standard, but clutch starting to slip so that will be done soon. 66 Austin 1100 - just being prepp\'d for MoT. Birthday gift for the GF in March. 66 2000auto - was fine, but appears flex plate has gone - so will be swapped out and MoT\'d again soon. 76 2500S - 4yrs of bliss - now undergoing fully deserved rebuild. 2001 Suzuki Alto - GF\'s car until I get the 2000auto done, then she\'ll get rid of it. Waiting - ordered new Volvo V70 for my company, will be dog car, parts hauler and tow vehicle......

What i said previously (and still have) :
Triumph 67\' 2000 Mk1, 69\' 2500PI Mk1, 71\' 2500PI Mk2 (x3), 71\',76\' and 80\' Spitfire, 67\' (x2) Herald 1200, 69\' (x2) Herald 1300, 65\' and 71\' Vitesse, 73\' Stag, 81\' TR7 cabriolet (x2), 69\' 1300 TC (x2), 67\' and 71\' MGB GT, Volvo 142 69\', 144 72\', 145 73\',  73\' and 76\' Mini, 85\' Range Rover V8, and some more \"modern\" cars and motorcycles.
I have sold my 69\' Mk3 Spitfire just before Christmas.
Now I have some more cars : 64 and 67 MGB (mainly remains of what they have been <IMG>  ), 73\' MGBGT (so cute !), 74\' TR6, 60\' TR3A (both running fine and very nice cars), 69\' and 70\' Spit Mk3, 73\' Reliant Scimitar SE5a, another Spit 1500FH, another Herald 1300,.....
I am still locking for a nearly perfect TR2, any colour if she isn\'t red !
Cheers,
Chris.

Sally,
I know the current owner of that car........... (the MKI PI). It is a stunning car........shame you had to sell it.
 
I\'m afraid I have to admit another addition to the fleet.
MKII 2.5PI saloon................aswell as the S Estate, the Stag and the Moggie Traveller...............
