Well I don't have this car for 6 years , fyi..

Before that I drove the car from my mom & dad, a Volvo S40 & a Porsche from 1979 but those don't count as my own car.
 
test passed a long time ago !
Some of the cars i owned listed from quick recall but probably missed some off due to bad memory !

Mini Traveller ( learned to drive in it and would be worth a small fortune now )
Austin Princess VP ( less said the better,but was very comfy )
Triumph Spitfire ( good fun and first softtop experience )
MG Metro Turbo ( good at the time but troublesome car )
Rover 216 VP ( nothing but trouble from day 1 )
Golf GTI Mk1 ( top car,kept it for years and had bare metal respray.Refused loads of offers, it was stunning and would like another someday )
Fiesta Ghia ( nice car and still going apparently )
Renault 5 GTT ( bags of fun but loads of trouble.Learned lots working on this most weekends sorting problems )
Clio 172 Cup ( bought from NI and was chipped already so very nippy.Good car with no issues )
MR2 Red ( bought with every option fitted and was a very good looking car.Totally reliable,sold in days and someone got a bargain,somtimes regret selling as i never saw another
with all the options ticked and fitted.
Yaris SR ( bought new at bargain price but never liked the car.Proved difficult to sell with the 1.8 engine and was glad to get shot of it.
Clio V6 Mk1 (purchased from TWR and was the famous Tom Walkinshaws car and total one off special build.Kept my dream car for over 2 years and loved every minute but
working nights and deep winter snow was not good and regretably sold and now resides in Hong Kong.Miss it badly and will buy another when the time is right )
Twingo RS ( current car and although it lacks a little grunt i love the handling and still have it after 2 years.Trouble free ownership and all round great little car )
 
Adding my measly 2 cars to the list.
2009 Kia Picanto 1.0 - First car after passing test and loved it... looking back it was actually a piece of crap and i should have hated it. Had it for 3 years anyway.
Currently - Twingo RS :D

Only one I can remember how long I had it was the first car the rest was about 6 months, all bought standard and tinkered with, in hindsight wish I hadn't but everyday is a school day and i get bored of things easily.
 
First car was a 51 plate rover 25, loved it till it came to an early end ( wasn't my fault )

2nd hand twingo extreme, never got round to fixing it sold as scrap ( 58 plate I think)

Bought brand new twingo dynamique (60 plate )

Brand new 133 and loving it (12 plate )
 
Thought I'd start a top gear style car history thread, what have you had previously? Start with mine;

1st car fiat punto 1.2 (awful)
2nd Saxo vtr (1st love)
Hyundai coupe f2
Citroen c4 1.4
Twingo rs133 :p
 
Nissan Micra S 1.0 (Mums car)

1. 1998 Fiat Seicento sporting Abarth kit, set fire on me whilst driving to Buckmore Park :-(
2. 2008 Kia Picanto 1, got it brand new as a birthday present :)
3. 2007 Clio dynamique sx, still got it :)
 
Passed 2009 b4 that had a arox 50cc

Citroen Saxo 1.1 02 plate exhaust, induction kit, body kit. proper boy racer without the power got 69 bhp on a dyno. Some woman scraped the side of the car so i put it up for sale and it is still on my drive my m8s bought it but not insured it.
Renault twingo gt blue 57 plate bought the ktec exhaust yday so prob have 110 brake when it fitted.

Here's my somewhat lengthy list!

1983 Astra 1.2
1986 Astra 1.3
1989 Volvo 440 GLE
1992 Renault Laguna
1986 Porsche 924S
1992 Citroen AX GT
1996 Peugeot 306 XS
1998 Rover 420 SLi
1986 Porsche 944lux
1985 Volvo 340
1983 Porsche 911sc
1989 Saab 9000
1992 Saab 93
2002 Saab 9-3 Aero
1985 Porsche 944lux
1992 Porsche 944S2
2005 Renaultsport 225

Needless to say it wasn't in that exact order as the Porsches were all second cars as is the RS250 now and easily the best motor in the list[GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Had that nearly 3 years then needed something more economical and we traded up for the RS133

Made my license in 2007 and didn't own a car till 2011 (my girlfriend had a Polo which I crashed, she then got a Corsa).

Decembre 2011 - Renault Twingo RS (well, not only my car, but our car)
March 2013 - Renault Clio RS F1 R27 (my very first car and I wanted to own one, since I got my license :D )
 
Passed my drivers in 2001

I don't know why I stuck with Ford for so long...I showed some STs this weekend at one of our mountain passes what the 133 is capable of ;)
