I thought I'd resurrect this thread, as it's always interesting to see what people have had in the past. You will see from this post that I went through a big Ford phase. I haven't included everything, just some of the more interesting picks from my 35+ cars. This was my first semi-sporting car; an Escort 1.6 S EFI. Not many of these left now: DSC00210 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr DSC00172 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr A lot of people hate the Ford Orion, but I always had a soft spot for it, including this one with an RS body kit and a shiny engine bay: IMG_1880 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr Another Orion was this 1.6 EFI Ghia. I knew the guy that built it. He spent many hours and lots of pennies on it, but I paid £100 for it off a subsequent owner. It was a wreck by that point, but I broke it for a tidy profit: FrontShot by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr RearShot by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr Around the same time, I had this 1.8 Mondeo. It started life as a 1.8 LX but a good friend had spent a huge amount of effort turning it into a Ghia X inside and an RS outside. It wasn't that fast but a lovely car. Had 170k on the clock when I sold it and still drove so nicely. The Mondeo really is a great car: DSC01490 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr A couple of cars later was this one, a 1.4 powerhouse. I had been collecting bits to fit a 2.0 turbocharged Zetec but decided to go to university, so sold the lot. Shame, it was a tidy car and would have been rather fun with 300bhp: DSCF6510Medium by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr When I got to uni, I should have been sensible and bought a cheap runabout. Instead I bought another booted Escort; this time with a 2.0 Zetec lump under the bonnet and a massive ICE install: P4199195 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr Following a brief fling with a Sierra, I went back to Escorts with an RS2000: SDC10051 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr Then I got offered another Orion; an immaculate, low-mileage 1600E: DSC02203 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr DSC02204 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr The Orion was lovely, but I was going to ruin it by using it as a daily. I decided to be 'sensible' and bought a modified 850 T-5. Epic car this. It upset M3s and chattered like a good 'un: SDC10320 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr SDC10324 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr The T-5 was cool, but not exactly cheap to run at uni. Afterwards, I had another 2.0 Zetec-powered Escort: SDC10616 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr To be continued...
After the Escort, I decided to try and be a grown-up and bought a Vectra diesel. It was shit, so I went random and bought a Honda. It was quite fun, albeit a bit chavvy with the bean can exhaust: SDC11074 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr SDC11076 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr The Civic was a laugh, but the boot was pathetic and I fancied another RS2000, so bought this: 14052011699 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr After uni was done, I decided to be slightly more grown-up again, and bought an ST220 off a friend. Another great car, probably one of the best all-rounders I've owned: 2012-08-12-660 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr 2012-08-12-662 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr After the ST220, I bought a Volvo V70, which turned out to be something of a problem child. I was feeling somewhat fed up and immature, so bought a Clio 172 Cup, as I had always fancied one. I still own this as I can't bare to sell it. It's a bit of a shed now, done nearly 140k, a few track days and a friend put it into the wall at Snetterton. It just won't die though: WP_20160108_14_51_27_Pro by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr WP_20160108_14_52_56_Pro by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr Although I loved the Clio, I was getting a bit bored of older cars, so decided to go newer. I thought about buying a Megane at this point, but got distracted by a good deal on a new Golf R. These are really excellent cars. A supreme all-rounder; fast, endless grip, nice interior and reasonable running costs. I had it a year and, while it was very good, it was a bit understated for my tastes and not the most exciting drive: WP_20160311_14_43_24_Pro by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr WP_20160311_14_43_53_Pro by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr That brings us up to date, as the Golf was replaced by my Megane 265. Nice car, but has been a bit problematic so far: IMG_20170325_165809 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr IMG_20170325_164545 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr So, the fleet currently stands at the indestructible Clio and the Megane. But, I still have a Ford thing and am also quite partial to rallying. If you've looked at my avatar, you will have probably noticed the yellow peril, which is one of my Escort RS2000 rally cars. It's undergone a somewhat elongated rebuild over the last few years. Nearly done now and should shakedown over winter: WP_20161014_15_21_41_Pro by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr WP_20161014_15_43_58_Pro by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr IMG_20170624_193951 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr IMG_20170623_171232 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr Of course, two Escorts is better than one so, a few years back, after a lengthy obsession, I bought myself a pukka ex-works Escort F2 Kit Car. Once upon a time, it looked like this: C__Data_Users_DefApps_AppData_INTERNETEXPLORER_Temp_Saved Images_willonionsss6small_zpsd698e2d9 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr kit car20 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr Unfortunately, when I bought it, it looked like this lol: IMG_6234 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr DSC_9335 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr The shell is currently being painted back to the period white, while the rest of it is being converted to tarmac spec. It's a long road with that one though. Enjoy.

congr congrats on owning some of the worst cars ever produced like the cortina,metro,belmont and allegro! my old man had a last of the line cortina ghia..it was horrible to drive,and rocked on its suspension after you had stopped it for 30 secs!..a boat on wheels.
I dont get through many cars 1.2 Nova x2 1.6 meg Coupe 98 2.0 meg Coupe IDE 2000 182 Trophy and my Meg 250 in 20 years of driving
I knew someone would be impressed..haha Metro turbo...purchased for 500..put in new battery for 45 quid and sold for 1300 Belmont purchased for 3500 and sold for 4500 Allegeo purchased with knackered engine for 350. Recon one for 165 from Heathrow engines and sold for 1100 Cortina was my first car.. purchased for 650...sold after 2 years for 895 but was mint when I had finished with it. Best was a fiesta 1300s bought for £50 off wife's friend. New wing 17 quid front panel 9 quid and a few new bits from the scrappy then I did a total respray on it and new pinstripes sold for 1350. When the woman who had sold it to me saw it after i had done it up and sold it.....the stupid woman wanted me to give her some of the profit...fat chance What fun days haha
All agro was comfy over bumps in a straight line. I must admit I was not a big fan of British leyland
my old mans cortina was a horrible car to drive..floated and wallowed its way down the road. i had a mk1 xr2 at the time,so maybe thats why it felt so wayward.
if only i kept that mk1 xr2 in sunburst red, or the 2 series 1 Rs turbos i had. seen a series 1 RS go for 50k not that long ago. The second one i had needed a new bodykit after a bodged repair by the previous owner. I had a mate who worked in fords parts department who managed to find me the last kit in the entire country! Would be utter gold dust now. It even came fully sprayed from the factory in diamond white.
I've only had 8 but pretty potent between them (excluding the first two lol) 1.3l mk4 escort 5dr, full RS turbo replica with whale tail, resprayed ford imperial blue, owned 18months. 1.6l mk4 escort 5dr GL, 4 month gap filler. Phase 2 Renault 19 16v, fully built engine from prima racing 190bhp (loved this car), 5.5yrs. ST205 Celica gt4, red and carbon 290bhp/310lbft, 1yr Evo 3, lightly modded to 290bhp/280lbft, but bit of a problem child, 15months ST205 Celica gt4 in silver, modified everything, 318bhp/340lbft, another love, 11yrs overlapping previous 2 cars. R35 GTR, stage 4.25 modded 492bhp@0.5bar 644bhp@1.3bar/610lbft, absolute animal, 18months, house purchase forced sale (still cry myself to sleep sometimes about selling it lol). R26 Megane, lightly modded circa 250bhp.
The ST205 GT4 is a car that I have always really wanted to drive. They have a real appeal. Maybe it's Sega Rally lol
Lol, Sega rally was part of the reason I bought one too, didn't want the reliability issues of an integrale, though I love the cars. Gt4 is an underrated car, gone up in value since I sold mine too, much rarer than a scooby or Evo too.
Only played on this the other day! I couldn't believe it when I saw it in the corner of the arcade - straight away to my Mrs "hold my drink (read pushchair) and watch this" Edit, I even took this picture as I was so excited! Ha ha.
Just the one - a moneypit R26 owned since April. Owned a 2010 ninja zx6r from new before this and that makes me quicker than all of you :-)
So your ZX6r does over 200mph and there was me thinking that it was only Yamaha's that had race tuned speedo's, i know someone that has an R6 and that does 190+ mph that's what he tells me
