    My list is quite short.
    Fiat 128 CL (My Mum sold this when I was in the pub one night because I couldn’t be arsed to tax or insure it. I did have a huge drink problem at the time)
    Mini 850
    Mini1000
    Mini Woody Traveller
    (All of the above 3 Minis were ripped to bits and sold for parts for more than they were bought for. All 3 were bought, driven, dismantled, and scrapped in the space of a year).
    Nissan Sunny 1.3GL (given to me by my Dad when he got a Mobility car).
    Yamaha DT125R (I got this by trading in the Sunny. My Dad went ape****. lol) This was eventually stolen but the lad who nicked it had his flat stripped completely bare down to even the lightbulbs by an unknown person/s.
    Fiesta 1.8 D (my wife lent me this went she bought a brand new Ka)
    Avensis SRi (I got this by trading in the Fiesta 1.8 D. My wife went ape****. lol).
    Nissan Primera SVE 2.2 DCTi
    R53 GP (1499) this car now looks like a barn find and has not turned a wheel since September 2017.
    Feb ‘13 to present R59 JCW. This is without doubt THE most fun that I have ever had in any of the limited number of cars that I have owned.
    I’ve not always owned a car due to being heavily in alcohol up until about 1998 when drink was way more important than having to pay out for the purchase and running costs of a car.

    The Jimny was completely just for fun ,the Ignis Sport had Recaro’s and other bits was going through a JDM phase
    the Vitara was handy because of where we stayed

    Amongst all the M cars that's not the reply I expected!

    I was asking for partly selfish reasons as an E90 M3 is on my radar, they don't make engines like that anymore

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

    They’re all good enough reasons.

    A lad I used to work with bought a Jimny as an “emergency” Winter car. He ended up using it all the time and still has well o’er 10 years after first buying it.

    Going slightly off topic for a second but the Jimny is an extremely capable little off roader
