Okay, time for a memory-test!

Y-reg Volvo 345 GL with L-plates in 1992
Various parental cars (inc Peugeot 405 & Rover 800)
H-reg Ford Sierra 1.6 Laser with fake alloys and lots of ICE (up to 160k miles!)
K-reg Ford Mondeo 1.6 LX with lots of ICE
--- all brand new company cars from this point ---
W-reg Rover 214iS in Old English White (mmmmm )
51 Vauxhall Vectra-B 2.2 SRi (got promoted )
51 Rover 75 1.8 Club SE (comfy but too old man for a 20something)
02 Honda Civic Type-R (much more appropriate for a 20something!)
52 Vauxhall Vectra-C 2.2 SRi in blue
52 Vauxhall Vectra-C 2.2 SRi in black
03 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Convertible (cool for Spring cruising; a bit slow tho)
03 Vauxhall Vectra-C 2.0T SRi in red (two turbo hoses flew off!)
53 Honda CRV 2.0 SE Sport (fancied a pseudo 4x4 that winter)
04 Honda Accord 2.0 Sport with 17" (good in all areas but ultimately dull)
04 MG-TF 1.6 Cool Blue (special edition, impractical but fun)
54 Vauxhall Vectra-C 2.0T SRi with 19" in red
05 Vauxhall Signum 2.2 Exclusiv with 19" in black (first with colour sat nav)
05 Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTi in black (while endlessly awaiting the VXR!)
55 Vauxhall Astra VXR with 19" in black (huge fun, posing, 10K in 4 months!)
06 Vauxhall Vectra-C 1.9 CDTi 150 SRi with 19" in red (my first ever diesel!)
56 Vauxhall Vectra-C 1.9 CDTi 150 SRi XP with 19" in black
56 Vauxhall Vectra-C 1.9 CDTi 150 SRi XP with 19" in silver

Oh and I should mention my private summer purchase:
Y-reg Smart & Pulse in blue with silver tridion cell and 15" alloys
(great fun to drive, economical, & ideal for my Wife to park at the station )
