    in order of ownership:

    1997 VW Golf CL: got it secondhand as a gift from my grandparents....killer student car even if only 90hp!

    1993 VW Corrado VR6: sold the golf for it when i got my first job, still have it.

    1988 with 1986 jetta (this thing was a mongrel!!) : the worst decision i have ever made!.....it literally broke in half due to rust 6 months later...at least it got me through one winter saving the Corrado from such hell!!!

    1991 Audi Coupe 20V: not the best decision i have made car-wise but it was fun and introduced me to the addictive powers of the 5-cyl engine. sold in order to make room for the current....

    1993 Audi UrS4: hot damn i lucked out!!!! ebay win for $4200 (canadian ) with only 120,000kms on it! i'm loving this car ALOT!!! has been nicknamed "the living room" cuz it's so damn big but i am not regretting the risk involved with buying this car at all!

    given the condition of both my cars, i figure the list won't be added to for a few years. i'm hoping the next addition will be a car less than a decade old when i buy it though although if it's a 911 or a cayman, it will undoubtedly be secondhand (don't think my salary will increase THAT much!!!!)
    1993 UrS4...aka the rocket powered living room

                              I have owned many many cars, as I traded a bit, (still do) trying to get interesting thigs or cars which were absolute bargains... (swaps for other cars or bikes etc,)
                              To list a few, including my very first 'car' which I bought when I was still at school and working in a Reliant dealership on Saturdays, on the forecourt filling cars up with petrol... boy that seems a long time ago..... !

                              1979 Reliant Super Robin 850 ($h/t brown with gold stripe, wolfrace alloys, tiger skin seat covers, spotlights...etc, you get the picture...also had 6 disc pioneer changer which in it s day was very very special...!
                              1984 Metro turbo (cool when you were 18)
                              1979 (I think ) Triumph Stag (mustard yellow... UGH)
                              1981 VW Jetta (more rust than bodywork)
                              1986 Vauxhall Belmont
                              1989 Nissan 300ZX TT (flood damaged and still in the garden)
                              1990 MK3 Toyota Supra Turbo, slammed, tuned, massive wheels and very good fun....
                              1993 Ford Sierra 2.0i GLS Sapphire
                              1994 Ford Sierra Cosworth (standard)
                              1994 Saab 9000 Aero, tuned to 330 BHP, front wheel drive nightmare, but shocked many...
                              1996 Audi A6 2.6
                              2000 Vuxhall Omega 3.0 (worst car I ever had, including Robin....!)
                              2003 Audi 2,5 TDI quattro
                              2004 BMW 320D Touring (work horse, just sold)
                              1991 Audi S2 coupe (current daily driver)

                              Short list of stuff I maybe had for up to 2 months each, used as my own and kept up for sale...

                              1985 Porsche 944 Turbo (knackered engine, smoked like a goodun...!)
                              1980something Porsche 944, massive spemnt by previous owner to make track car, bought for 1500 quid...19 inch wheels were worth that...!
                              Big list of bikes, but not interesting for here...
                              2001 Honda Accord type R
