This week, while parked outside a local hotel waiting for a company client from overseas who asked me if I'd take him for a short drive on the F-type, a fine gentleman probably in his 70s went around the car inspecting it carefully a few time before saying hello. He said he was very intrigued and attracted to the car and started asking everything about the specs, etc. He then pointed to his fine Maserati GT V8 nearby and we engaged in a short chat about cars. He went on to tell me a rather impressive list of cars he had including an SKR, DB9, Vantage among other before the Maserati! So I thought I'd start a thread here so members could list the cars they had before the F-type and what models they'd like to own in the future if anything.

Here's my list
1985 Ford Del Rey
1994 Fiat Uno
1999 GM Corsa
2001 Vauxhaul Corsa
2010 Vauxhaul Corsa
2012 Vauxhaul Meriva
2013 Hyundai ix35
2017 Hyundai Santa Fe (current)
2008 Audi TT
2018 F-type P340 V6 (current)

All manual transmission may I say 😊

Cars I'd like to have in the future
Lamborghini Urus
Lotus Emira
911 S/T

I only really got into cars when I became hooked on NFSU2back in the very early 2000's. So from then I had:

Volvo c70T5 coupe;
2003 volvo s60R manual;
2008 Jag XF 4.2 prem lux
2011 Jag XF 5.0
2010 Jag XKR 5.0SC
then the F type which I bought new and is the car I've owned the longest, as I also have a manual Mustang GT I dont think I will be moving either for the foreseeable future.

My missus has also had a series of volvos before the first Jag XE in 2015 and then the current 2020MY in 2019, also not seeing any point moving it on.

 

These are mine (not including the wife's). Once I owned a home I became a two-vehicle person, always having a truck of some sorts for household chores in addition to the cars:
