Wow, almost as bad as Evoqess! Unfortunately, some changes were forced and not out of choice, but looking back, I've enjoyed each one and have fond memories of times with each vehicle.

Say what I do get a real kick out of changing vehicles and have tons of tremendous memories like you DDX. Hasten to add there were two leased vehicles in that lot, two secondary cheaper vehicles to "save the nice one from bad weather" lol! But didn't count the eight scooters (they were a phase when I actually kept the same car for a WHOLE 3 years).

Flurberman, why do you dislike your A5 cabriolet so much?

Partially because its an A5 and not an S5 and partially because I miss my TT and feel bitter towards it! Lol not that I tell the A5 that though, I frequently tap the four rings in the middle of the steering wheel and say "good car, gooooood car" after long drives.

(errrr, we all talk to our cars right....?)

Seat 850 (1972 model, still have it)
Fiat Uno
Audi A2 (great car, wish i'd kept it)
VW Golf GTI

So Evoque is by far the biggest car I've ever owned

Fiesta 950
Fiesta 1100 (first new car)
Fiesta xr2
Fiesta xr2i
Escort ghia 1600
XR3 (very nice got nicked hence the 3i)
XR3i great hot hatch
Astra Sri 1800
Rover 216GTI (fantastic looks and performance from not a lot)
Citroen ZX diesel (hateful car lasted six months)
BMW 318 nice car bit slow
Rover 416sli (not a patch on the 216)
Honda Accord 2.0
VW golf GTI mk3 (not the best GTI)
VW passat 2.0

Indeed we do haha "baby E, you gorgeous go anywhere vehicle you...".
Absolutely know the feeling of missing the TT - my TTS left over a month ago and will remain the best car I've ever owned - just the wrong vehicle for where I live and where I want to explore "sigh"!
