Didn't buy anything special...
November 2010 - January 2011
2001 Vauxhall Corsa C: Head gasket went, lost 2k in 3 months, didn't claim on insurance.
March 2011 - March 2011
2011 VW Polo: After 27 short days of ownership, someone set it on fire and Ihad to make a 14k insurance claim.
May 2011 - December 2011
2011 Renault Clio 1.2 TomTom thing - Payed £5k on insurance, realised that the insurance was more or less maxed out and that I could get a 197 for the same price. Not including finance payments or insurance costs, I lost 3k on this due to the deposit and clearing negative equity.
December 2011 - June 2012
Renault Clio 197 - Had to reinsure this, lost 6 months insurance. Broke the manifold and CBA to sort it as I had a 172 cup. Sold it with about £500 of mods on it, lost a fair bit on my wheels too... Not including finance payments or insurance costs, I lost 4k on this due to the deposit and clearing negative equity.
June 2012 - August 2012
Renault Clio Cup 172. Bought it outright for 2.4k, sold up for 1.8k having never drove it. :/
June 2012 - Now
2011 Ford KA for the missus.
August 2012 - Now
2009 Audi A3 for me.
Despite this right amount of dicking around, I am pleased to say that with the exception of the finance itself, I have no debt lol - somehow?! haha
Pics - sorry for the crap pics, in some cases, they were all I could find.

No pics of the 172 or the KA, I'm afraid.
To date, the 197 was the best car I've ever had and I can safely say I miss it like hell.
