Evolution of your cars...?

Suprised i haven't already put mine on here! Get ready for some crap cars!!

'83 'A' Talbot Samba LS - looked like a French-mans turd. Headunit and speakers only mods.
'85 'B' Rover 213SE - cost me 700, had 46k on it and lasted me for 3 years and another 60k! Standard
'88 'F' MK2 8V GTI - Cost me that much to keep repairing it i couldn't afford mods. Still did me 2 years though.
'91 'H' MK2 8V - Another black 3 door, this time perfect. Coilies, Ronal Turbos, ICE, Exhaust etc etc etc, loved it and still regret selling it.
'90 'H' Renault 19 1.4 Chamade - Fill in when lookng for.......
'94 'M' Corrado VR6 - Not a bad motor in hindsight, still wouldn't have another. Lowered, thats it. Sold when we bought the house.
'96 'N' VR6 Highline - Lowered, exhaust, filter, shiney stuff. Quite a nice car really.
'03 Leon Cupra R - Loved it! CustomCode, filter, DV, ARB's, exhaust, DP, cosmetic stuff. Very fast, very comfortable! Changed job so didn't see the point in having it sitting around wasting.
'89 'G' MK2 VR6 - Fun!!! Not done anything yet, but got 90 spec kit ready to go on and plans in place.

Also got an 06 plate A3 2.0T Quattro as "our" car.......but she keeps claiming its hers!

1997 Polo 1.4 CL - sold due to my other half thinking we needed a 5 door car.

2001 Skoda Fabia - the worst car I've ever had ANYTHING to do with - no idea why people like them, in any shape, colour or form - currently on the m3 somewhere doing about 100mph......possibly.
