First car- CORSA B sold because I was working for a biodiesel company and wanted a diesel to run for free. Sold it to my mates cousin who wrote it off.
Polo 6n- never got to use biodiesel for free and was not turbo diesel and I wanted more power, was also starting to cost a lot to maintain. Sold to a breakers.
Citroen Xsara VTR- really liked that car, stood out but I fancied a convertible. Sold to a work colleague who wrote it off.
MX5- enjoyed it but the novelty wore off quickly and it needed welding. I basically bought a nail and when the alternator went (costing £200 to replace) I got rid and part exed for my current car.
Current car- Ford Focus. 12 years old now and very corroded underneath. Low miles though, gotta go next yeah before MOT time.
Wife's car- Another Focus but this one is a 5 door petrol stop gap car, will be going next year along with my focus to get us two new cars.
Not one of my old cars is still on the road

Fiat 500 Sporting: hideously slow, loved it though
Corsa B: Spent stupid money on and eventually wanted a nice everyday car rather than something so loud and cras.
Merc C240: inherited this off Grandad, hated at first but grew to love. Was low miles so used it whilst LET corsa constantly broke and when miles became average I sold it.
Corsa 1.2 8v: was shit
Calibra Turbo: Money pit, also was shit.
Astra GSI: Most boring car on earth.
Z3 ///M Roadster: Broke, cost me a fortune so traded it.
E46 ///M3 vert: CBA to run it any more as it was so expensive and had all my money sitting in it.
Clio182: regret selling this as I only got rid because it depreciated like a lead balloon. Sold in 2010 and is still worth similar money now 
Grand Cherokee: too juicy, needed impending maintenance so got rid. Wish I hadn't.
E36 ///M3: trying to sell now, absoloute money pit. I never learn.
