Chrysler Alpine - rusted out within 24 months - early 80's - first car- never take your mum with you to buy a car

Vauxhall Cavalier Sports Hatch - ex butchers car  always smelt of death - got rid quick. 

Lancia Delta HPE  - at age 19 - Insurance wasnt an issue back then - still a shed mind.

Daihatsu  Charade - suddenly got sensible thanks to marriage and a mortgage - late 80's

Vauxhall Belmont SRI - 1992 -They said it would get nicked- only the wheel trims did.

Ford Mondeo - kids / boring / family car - mid 90's

Renault Clio - For the good lady

Vaxhall Vectra - New 2003 heap of crap - will never touch Vauxhall again

Mazda 6 - looked nice / brand new 2004 - but a mondeo in disguise  

Hyundai Getz - New -The Clio blew up and they were literally giving these things away - still going strong now as gave it to my son

Lexus IS200 - traded the 6 in for a proper car

BMW 135i - mid life crisis - licence survived.

Mini Cooper - for the good lady

Lexus IS200t - Might be a keeper

You know what I would really really like to say yes but I'd be lying 🤥 

To me it's the fun the experience after all most are just a depreciating asset.

Dont regret any of it really, glad I had a warranty on the M5 V10 cost 14.5k in repairs 😳

If you had the choice of a cracking road and a couple of hours, would you take an M5 or the IS-F.  M5 could be silver of course :)

If I wanted to reach my destination the Lexus 😂

On its day that V10 in the upper reaches of the rev range is just utter filth it's dirty one of the best engines I've sat behind .

To me now the 'F' is a very good package and I would much rather have it of the two.

They did do a manual of that M5 in the states.
