BMW Z4 3.0i. Cost me £6,700 and had to pay thousands in repairs as I had (or more accurately, still have) no idea about cars and bought a bad one. :wacko:

 

Still loved the car but had to sell it in the end as I made the mistake of buying a SMG, and it had an issue where it would randomly go into neutral at times. Plus it had some gear crunch + wouldn't start at times etc... Quote was something like £3,500 in parts alone as apparently BMW only sold a whole assembly rather than just that particular part. I can't remember what it was, but the garage was a reputable one that I trusted. He did say all along he would have sold it if it were his as it was riddled with issues.

Second car is my current 350z, and loving it to bits. I can't seem to rid myself of zeditis though... :lol:

£45

 

Got it when I was 13 from a police auction. Had a track laid out on a local bit of waste ground and just nailed it round again and again against the stopwatch. All winter long - time of my life, on reflection.

The track dried out in the spring, I hit a rut at 50 - rolled it and killed it.
