Lots of amazing cars by the long time car guys!  Cool to see such lists.

Lots of boring cars and nothing even remotely fast for me except a '96 TransAm which was pretty quick for Island driving in 40 mph zones.

Currently:
'07 Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible, in Cayman as daily driver. 
'07 Ford Edge, also in Cayman and getting more use of late.
'07 Dodge RAM diesel pickup, in US for towing and cold or rainy days.
'07 Atom 300 in US, for fun in the sun!
'05 Powerhouse Coach motorhome with matching trailer, in US as 2nd home and occasional lawn mover (when I fall asleep at the wheel).

It maybe small but it does have a 17 stone hammer to drive it home.

Here you i've left out the company cars as there's not enough room on this forum!

66 Beetle 1303 Orange (so much rust I had to tie my foot to the clutch with my belt as it seized down!)
82 XR2
85 Audi coupe 2.2 (great CAR)
89 BMW 735 I SE
90 Volvo 440 Turbo
92 MX-5
94 Golf TDI
98 Ford KA
01 Land rover Freelander V6 Auto ( Couldn't keep it in Fuel and Water)
01 Mini Cooper ( Broke down 14 times in 3 months)
02 Mini cooper Chilli ( BMW did an exchange)
02 Mini Cooper S ( BEST CAR I EVER OWNED!)
02 Volvo S60 D5 163 bhp
04 Mini Cooper Convertable Liked it till someone said it looked like a silver cross pram )
55 Volvo V70 D5 185 (Still Have it)
55 Ariel Atom 160 (Loved it, but my abilities and capabilities were mixed up)
04 MG SV 4.6 (Quick and loud and dry!!!)

Just about covers it, probably missed some out, some on purpose, some due to my memory going, which do i wish i'd kept..... The mini Cooper S for sure, and the pearlescent white Audi coupe probably.

Right now i'm enjoying the MG SV, and may even buy another one!!

At my last count I was up to 45 cars I could remember owning and almost as many bikes, few of which are interesting enough to list here.
Highlights/interesting are
Lotus Sunbeam Series 2, owned for almost 15 years
Mk2 Escort 1600 Sport in a very rally ready state of tune but used daily, owned for 17 years
2001 NSX which had to go to make way for the Atom 275 but I will return.
My teenage years FS1e (still in garage)
My Yamaha 250 that I passed my bike test on (still in garage)
TR7 convertible bought in late Eighties and used until MOT ran out.  Not really notable but it is still in the garage (given to my Dad).
Series 1 RS Turbo
GSi 3000 24v Carlton in White (cars literally dived out of the way when this came up behind them on the motorway)
Suzuki GX1000 Whizzkid
2x Honda S2000s, fantastic under-rated cars and I will own another but not exactly noteworthy yet.


I find myself jealous of Bruce as two cars on my immediate shopping list to own are:
1) Lotus Carlton - as a keeper
2)Fiat 131 Mirafiori Sport 2000 Abarth - Even the non-Abarth cars practically don't exist in this country anymore due to tinworm.

Also I soon hope to add a Honda S800 roadster to the list

Senna Ducati (916) No13 still a virgin, Ive driven loads of 916 Ducati bikes so why spoil this one, I bought this one from pal Al Melling--F1 engine designer/ builder, Motorcycle engine designer/builder, Current project Melling Hellcat.....yee haaaaa.

1997 bike Picked it up 2002 from Al's livingroom into the van-------------out the van into my livingroom. fortunatley the livingroom is 40ft x 30 ft, marble floor with underfloor heating so the bike is not to prominent where it sits and stays nice and warm.

Every year I take the HT leads off,connect the jetski battery up to the leads (it's never had a battery since new) and turn it over to get the oil about the engine.

I also have one of Alan McNish's Karts which I am restoring after racing for a couple of seasons to put on display too.

Fantastic.  A friend of mine in London lives in a mews house with a ground floor garage which he had one wall built in glass so on raising a blind his car is in the room with you, really good feature.
