Sold my 06 Rav4, bought a 2020 Rav4  Super cheap driving. Also bought the Porsche outright now so will think about how long to keep it, or whether to trade it for a new Macan as wifey loves the purple they do.
Still own 2 bikes, race bike hasn't been touched in 7 years, road bike hasn't been touched in 5 years, but costs me £42 last year to insure FC so keep it just to keep my bike NCB.
Oh, theres still a purple corsa in the garage covered in dust as well.

M135i company car
8v S3
Astra Vxr Nurbugring
A3 3.2 quattro
Escort RS1600i
Also won a c20xe Corsa Gsi replica, but ended up selling it as I'd run out of space. I sold it to Redline competitions and they raffled it 3 times I believe.

Minis minis and more Minis
Still have blue 2 door impreza, GTR is gone, White 2 door impreza is gone.
Been through a few X5/RR/Toureg type tow cars - Currently x5 40d
Loving the LWB Sprinter I got in 2020ish - camper conversion with room in the back for bikes etc
Still have the 1981 911 SC, added a 2001 996 Turbo a couple of years back.
Started breeding minis - 2x R50 Race cars, 1 R53 race car and an R56 JCW that doesnt seem to do anything.
Had a Fiat 500 (1968 or there about) for a few years but someone wrote it off.

996 Turbo yes! keep it for ever, love them.
Shame white 2 door scooby has gone, loved that car but great you still have at least one.
Really regret parting with my scoobies but the issue for me is always lack of storage.
Still have the F82 M4 Competition
TT Roadster VR6
Citroen ZX 16v really need to get on with the restoration.

What better way to reward myself for getting a vasectomy before any kids happen, than with a 7-seat family wagon!...
New ride, out with the 2013 GMC Terrain that we had the past 6years which I got as a hand me down from the wife when the last shit box almost caught fire, and now got my own gas guzzler 2018 Explorer V6 twin turbo which in true Corb style, seems likely to be getting some audio upgrades first!
Happy with the 365hp for now, but just crave the ASBO audio system!
About 8 edits later, we now have an image!.....

Someone feel free to fix that image link. I'm sure it was easier to post an image on here 20+ years ago!

Dont need 7 seats  Wifeys is the same as below but without carbon brakes, and its the GTS. Lots of toys added on though.
Although its 3 years old now and dont need the pram space so looking at a Macan GTS again, but with the custom paint (obviously in purple lol). Love it though, it weighs a chunk but being the GTS its not a bad handler. Far better than my XE corsa was despite the weight.
I'm rolling round in the fuel saver looks like this, but with the sidesteps, and its got all the options including Bose, 4x4, 222bhp. Averaged 90 the other day at 48mpg That said the porkie does 27mpg on the motorway at same speeds, and that a 4.0 v8 TT.

I'm toying with the idea of pulling the two back seats out and putting amps and subs in a false floor. Just don't have anywhere to store the seats in the new, smaller house.
That's pretty good fuel economy, the Ford does about 23mpg which is pretty disgusting and I'm not really driving it that enthusiastically. I'm planning for this Explorer to be a stop gap for a couple years then hopefully get a newer ST version so trying to not spend a bunch of money on it!
