A History of
Cars
Cars have been a bit of a thing with me as you will see from around this
site. Here though is the catalogue of cars that I've been fortunate enough to
either own, co-own, rent or lease for a period of time longer than a month.
In reverse order, friends or members of my family (or those that know me) are invited to let
me know what I've forgotten. Image links where I have photo's of the actual
cars themselves are active. Check the Ferrari (coming soon) or the Lotus Esprit
- ouch! Lessons learned indeed!
Those marked 'New'
were indeed that when I purchased them, the others were second-hand (pre-owned)
at the time of purchase. The dates in Green are when I had them! Lucky, I
know! Notice the 'Gibbsa' rank - no prizes for guessing what
this is - but out of all the cars I've had (and it's been a couple), this is
where they fit against each other!
