It would take too long to list over 5000 of them, needless to say I spent a while as a car dealer, before a move to the country. Also like to say I wish I still owned a few of them.

Cars
Renault Laguna (hubby's choice)
Nissan Serena (nicknamed the bell bus)
Fiat Multipla (ugly but nice to drive)
Renault Megane Grand Scenic (my favourite one to date)

For a short time I owned a 1973 VW Campervan (I loved it to pieces but couldn't' afford to keep it)

Bikes
Old second hand bike that my dad renovated for me (don't know what happened to that)
Girly purple bike (can't remember what make) very heavy and not very nice to ride

[Donger]

1. 1967 Hillman Minx £135 (Kept the local scrapyard in business sourcing spare parts)
2. 1974 Datsun 1200 £350 (As much oomph as a milk float)
3. 1977 Ford Cortina 1600GL (lime green - seemed like a good idea at the time)
4. 1979 Ford Escort Ghia (Nice, but had girlfriend history, so had to go when Mrs Donger came on the scene)
5. Austin Maestro (I've either forgotten or blanked most facts about it, as it was a traumatic ownership. Wouldn't wish it on anyone)
6. 1990 Ford Escort Ghia (the first car I ever needed a loan to buy. Disastrous)
7. 1990 Honda Accord (technically the best car I've ever had until my current one)
8. Chrysler PT Cruiser (my favourite car ever. Hankered after one for years before I finally landed one. Just loved it, but it was a thirsty bugger)
9. 2007 Toyota Auris (car with personality bypass, but couldn't fault it)
10. 2012 Toyota Auris Hybrid (faultless again plus regular >60 mpg).

Starting circa 1975..
1960 Mini 850, Reg MKS 988...............................................................Killed it, drove it to death, good car for its age.
Circa 1960 Ford Cortina 1600DL Mk1 Reg DMP 134...........................Compared to the mini, it was fast and comfy, brought it from a scrapyard, dodgy electrics that meant the engine died if you put main beam on. I liked that car.
Mini Countryman Reg ETO 598C IIRC..................................................Heavily modified, 1300 engine, 12 inch wheels, primrose yellow piant, matt black bumpers (way ahead of its time)
Austin 1100............................................................................................Kept it for a day, took it back, terrible subframe knock
Mini Van, converted with side windows and a back seat.......................Fell apart
Morris Marina 1600 Coupe.....................................................................Ok, but the kingpins seized, common problem, meant you needed arms like a gorilla to steer it.
Austin Allegro 1750HL............................................................................Given to me by dad after a slight front end...it went where it wanted if you let go of the steering, but a fast car.
Lancia Beta............................................................................................Fast car, hated it, needed to change gear every 5 seconds it seemed. Horribly complex.
Opel Ascona 2.0 SR..............................................................................Rostyle wheels, non injection, fast but noisy rear axle.
Austin Maestro 1300..............................................................................My first nearly new car. Not much kudos but that car gave me sterling service.
Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6...... Comfy and a good car
Vauxhall Vectra 1.6........ Ditto
Vauxhall Vectra SRI........ Ditto...and fast if you wanted
Ford Focus 1.6 Style...... HATED IT
Vauxhall Astra SRI sportback..... LOVE IT

I believe the Marina Coupe is still around, it used to be parked up near Alconbury a couple years ago..the reg number looked very similar to the one I had...horrible beige thing looking back, but I didn't mind it at the time.
