I'm with R.O.R. - even if it didn't kill the server, it would kill me - 20 years of driving - my own cars (5), relatives cars (20+), rentals (100+) and test drives (20+) - it must run to a couple of hundred.

My Cars:
2005 - 07: 00 Fiat Punto
2007 - 09: 95 Mitsubishi FTO GPX
2009 - 11: 95 Mitsubishi FTO GPX (Different one)
2012 : 88 Nissan Skyline
2013 - : 03 Mazda 6

I've driven a ton of other cars, but the only ones really worth mentioning were the Aston Marton DB9 and Lamborghini Diablo. I need to get something more exciting. The Mazda is fine and practical, but boring as hell.

djimi

Ooh forgot about rentals! I drove a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix when on holidays in the US.

Add to that list a 1996 Toyota Supra and a 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 also.

Wish I could even begin to remember - it's got to be over a thousand anyway.

I have your list here : http://www.autocar.co.uk/
Might be quicker to tick off the ones you didn't drive!!

I've driven many cars too, but most notable ones were E39 540i, 650i, E90 M3, 997 Carerra S, Corvette C7 ZHZ, and my favourite - Honda NSX, which I still regret not buying.

Other noteworthy ones were:
Last model Primera. Hated them because of their looks, thought they were crap because the Almeara of the same generation was, but actually it was a decent car, despite the horrid looks.
Last model Mitsubishi Galant - noteworthy because I loved the look of them and the previous one was nice to drive, but was so disappointed - really wasn't a nice car to drive at all.
Peugeot 505 - noteworthy because I was around 15 and had to move it, and learned while on a hill that the handbrake didn't work. So learned quickly how to heel-toe for a hillstart rather than for track racing!!
Chrysler Neon - Noteworthy because it was so shít.

My current car is the smallest engine i've ever driven (been insured to drive)

In terms of performance, the Jaaaaaag was effortless and brisk, the 2.0 TDI in the Leon was a torque monster who loved to overtake

I loved that leon, next car has gotta be an FR

As for what I drove...a lot of different ones, albeit less than one would imagine in over 15 years of driving - I like to keep my cars for quite long. Between friends, relatives, company and rentals, I really can't remember them all.

There are a few notable ones however, either due to their "vintage" and/or fact they were unpopular or not sold at all in Ireland:

Alfa 75 1.8;
Alfa 159 2.0 JTDm ( I think it was never sold here);
Renault 5 TL, Renault 5 Parisienne and 5 GTL;
Citroen Visa;
Seat Marbella (no working headlights, turn indicators only on the right, barely braking at all - explains why I prefer to use my own car when going out with friends);
The most battered Daewoo Lublin van history ever saw (rental from Ikea...);

Also, I did occasionally pilot a Cessna 172S; Didn't get a license yet, but I plan to. Now, I seem to recall there was somebody posting here with a BAe 146 type rating!

1997 Alfa Romeo 155 2.0TS

I cant think of them all, between mine, family, friends, rentals and collecting cars for friends. They were some rally cars thrown in for good measure. Here are some highlights.

Most comfortable - Mk 1 Ford Granada Ghia Coupe
Most manic - Prodrive built group N Impreza or Ford RS1600 with a full group4 BDG, ZF 'box, Atlas axle etc.
Most smiles - Citroen AX GT Sportif
Most disappointing - Mk5 Golf GTi
Most reliable - Toyota starlet.
