    Passed my test In September 2013 at 17

    1. 2007 Fiat Grande Punto - 1.4 77bhp (Montreal Blue) - first car, couldnt see myself having another other that the punto as my first car always loved the shape of them and it was faster than my friend's limited edition corsa

    2. 2008 R56 Cooper S (Dark Silver) 174bhp - decided I needed something faster after the punto. Looked for ages and tested just about every hot/warm hatch I could think of it and the second I sat in the mini the decision was made. Got lots of mods and eventually ended up being stripped out with bucket seats fitted and running 265bhp 420nm. Then met an unfortunate end. RIP

    3. 2009 R56 Cooper S (Horizon Blue) 174bhp - this mini was a bit of impulse by after my accident I was struggling to find a car I could insure. But stumbled across this mini in Inverness and it was an unusual colour and had an awesome options list so still in crutches with mum and dad drive up to Inverness and drove home again that day. First time driving since being released from hospital (December 18 - February 2nd). I really liked this car but it always felt like a replacement for my first mini which of course it was.

    4. 2012 R58 JCW (Midnight Black) another slight impulse buy. It's got the heated recaros and the leather/Alcantara dash which just ties the whole interior together. I decided it was time to change after nearly 4 years of R56 ownership. And so far I'm loving the coupe it's different but the same. Car is mostly standard bar an intake, intercooler and wheels. A few things planned but they will be revealed in time.

    Passed my test summer of 1989, then started the slippery slope early 1990 I guess. I was going to include the registrations, but nobody seems to have
    and I've forgotten them around no 9 anyway.

    1 83 MG Metro - light blue met, bought locally and was a beast. 100mph possible on private roads.
    2 86 XR2 - silver, 5 gears!!! loved it, would have another tucked away.
    3 92 XR2i 16v - started a proper job so treated myself, pacifica blue, lovely colour, very soft/chipped as soon as you looked at it.
    4 93 XR2i 16v - white, into XROC by this time
    6 93 XR3i 16v - 130 red, good gearbox, RS2000 looks but got shafted by the dealer, Anderson Cars who went bust soon after
    7 94 XR2i 16v - ash black
    8 89 Corrado 16v - red, 1.8, too heavy for other half to drive, which made it even better in my eyes.
    9 99 Impreza Turbo 5dr - dark blue met with obligatory gold speedlines - rapid. Derived my forum name at this time and it's stuck.

    Started family life.... got fed up with boy racers taking the Scooby on, so.....

    9 99 Freelander 1.8 - green, comfy, capable, took us on honeymoon inc some nice clifftop paths
    10 00 Vectra SRi - met purple with big wheels, looked better than it drove
    11 02 Audi A4 Avant 130d - denim blue. still like this shape of A4, even when they rust.
    12 89 Nova SR 1.3 - red, bought from a very old man, relived my youth as dad had a couple, cheap motoring.
    13 98 Polo 1.4 - white and rust... lots of rust....
    14 02 Golf Gti 1.8t - Jazz blue with full anniversary bodykit. Fast and comfy enough. Back in Alford now so getting fed up with 37mpg, so.....
    15 14 F56 Cooper (Tommy) - brand new, Volcanic orange, sold a few weeks ago. Great car, 88k and 50mpg. Originally went to look at a Clubby, so.....
    16 10 R55 Clubman JCW - pepper white.... watch this space but it's looking good so far.

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Out of all of those cars Brian the ones that do surprise me are the Suzuki’s.
    Was there any particular reason that you opted for those ?
