How many cars before the Evoque

Just laying in the bath on the iPad and I got thinking how many private cars I'd owned before we purchased the Evoque. It came to 28. So I thought that it would be interesting to know how many you've owned yourself. Perhaps there's someone out there who's buying it for their first car. And what's the worst one that you've ever owned. Mine was a Morris Marina where the heating was constantly set to max, which was handy when you had to push it in winter.

No company bought cars just ones you've spent your own money on. I know we could do a poll but where's the fun in just ticking a box

12 My Vauxhall Viva estate was actually worse than my Morris Marina! My Datsun 120Y was the most rusty, even more rusty than my 7 year old Mazda 6 !!!

My worst car was an Austin Allegro which had the square steering wheel as an extra,it handled like a bowl full of jelly.

The Evoque will be my 22 nd in 25 years of driving. That's too many, ready to set an ownership length record with the Evoque!

Worst vehicle ever was a small mustard colored automatic Corolla. Must have been the 1166cc version of the E30 because it was horrifically underpowered and after a month or two I remember going straight to a small V8 Ford Falcon without power steering. The first day I got it I drove it into the night. So powerful in comparison I swore I would never go to an underpowered vehicle ever ever again !! Even if I couldn't reverse park it!
