    Mk2 Escort 1600 sport, red with stripes and janspeed
    Mk1 Escort Mexico, yellow
    1975 Carmen Beetle convertible, arrived in bits. My Dad and I rebuilt it during the winter.
    1991 Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI, white with red stripe. Was like owning a spaceship when you're 18.
    Fiat Strada 130 Abart, grey with red stripe. Was only 8 years old but had been restored already. Sounded great with the airbox off.
    Mk4 escort Turbo, red. Great seats. Was hit by a guy in a metro overtaking on a blind bend.
    Another Mk4 Escort turbo.
    Renault 19 16v cab. Scuttle city, but quite nice to look at back then.
    Fiesta Turbo, White with green stripe. Chipped and really Torquey, about 180 hp.
    Lancia turbo, gold. Understeer city.
    VW passat estate. First work car, gutless hell.
    Volvo V70 estate x 2
    Various bikes.
    Porsche Boxster 3.2. Despite the critique, very good.
    Honda NSX, 96 Targa, red, first intro into a car Which had never been on my radar.
    2002 Honda NSX, LBB. felt like a very serious purchase at the time. Drove it back from the wirrell in the big storms a few year back.
    Porsche 997 C2s. Wanted a change after nearly 5 years of NSX. Unfortunately this car didn't work on my favourite roads and didn't give me that buzz like the Honda.
    2002 NSX, LBB, luckily found another car locally, same colour, age as the previous car.

    Almost forgot.....Honda S2000 for track. Only kept it for six months. Real fun on track, especially when the wheels are tight!

    Funny - mine came loose once, too. I overheated the brakes on a hot June day and the powdercoat melted. Takes over 200°C for that to happen, according to a PCer.

    “I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson

    well I turn 40 in a couple of weeks so there's been quite a selection over the last 23 years. Highlights were my first Porsche, a 944 S2 cabriolet in 1995, such an easy car to drive, such linear power delivery but a little expensive to run. Then I had 5 E30 M3's inc 2 Sport Evo's. Amazing cars!! Then caught the 911 bug. First a 964 Jubilee model, then upgraded to a 996 GT3 MK1, so so fast, I got caught speeding at 101mph.... decided to get something slower, so bought a 2003 LBB NSX with 7500 miles on the clock! So easy to drive, such a great engine noise. Unfortunately LBB is a nightmare if you need bodywork. Sold it but always missed it. In the meantime I bought a 930 Speedster and sold it as had no power steering (had a bad neck). Replaced it with a 964 Speedster (very rare) as it had power steering. Six months later I found a low mileage 993 Turbo on Pistonheads, had always wanted a Turbo and this one was perfect. I love the wide rear arches (on women too). Had my perfect garage, two 911's but then Paul (who owns a black NSX) spotted the black NSX at Chiswick Honda. I had been badgering him for ages to sell his, so I had to buy it. Now I have 3 cars!! Ridiculous, but I can't bring myself to sell any of them!! Photos attached.

    2005 3.2 litre NSX, Berlina Black

    from Gordon Murray: The NSX’s development costs must have been enormous. Everything on it is unique. The chassis, powertrain, even the air conditioning are peerless. That aluminum body was very expensive. The numerous hurdles overcome by the NSX to reach production in areas such as spot welding, corrosion, and repairability make it a monumental work in automotive history.

    993 Turbo is stunning Mark! I'm not a massive Porsche fan, but love the 993 Turbo and 964 Turbo.
