Lots, but high powered ones below:
Skyline r33 GTR 2.5 single turbo. - Holy crap! It was on sale down near my house, talkeing to the man who was selling it, he took me for a quick spin then said "You have a lisence don't you? Wanna go?" That was probaly the nicest five minutes of my life.
Renault Laguna 2.0 DCI 210 BHP - Torquey as you like, pulls in any gear!
Only two cars I would brag in that I've drove.

Nothing wrong with diesels

"1982 Chevy Van (A -Team style) Big comfy great road trip mobile, easy to drive thanks to auto and PAS. Bit slow, wallowy and left hand drive can be a bit awkward too."
The a team had a GMC G series actually.
I'll get my anorak...

Indeed, my van is one year out (can't remember which way), but is a Chevy G20, so it is a G series, but just rebadged chevy. So far all i can find thats different is the grille and trim, chassis and body is the same.

And the spoiler, gun rack, and the wheels (compomotive???)
A team van replica would be cool to drive round in.
They arnt that powerful actually. The van in the series does lots of smokey burnouts but thats only because they covered the area in bleach or ethanol!
If you can't spin up on that you're either on a bicyle or in a 2Cv
Too many:
- Corsa B and C, Escort and the old one as well!, Fiesta MKII & III, 106, Saxo, Metro, 205,
- GTi6, A190 Class, 2.2 Vectra, Rover 200, BMW 120D, Cooper, Cooper S, ZR160, TF160, Audi TT225, Audi A4 2.0T, Pug 307 2.0 HDi, CL500, Scooby WRX, VW Polo 1.4 Auto, VW Golf 1.8T 150 & 180, VR6, VW Beetle 2.0, Alfa 147 2.0 Lusso, Megane 1.6, ML320, VX220, Fiat Punto Sporting and other 1.2s & HGT, Z8, Celica 190, S-Type, Nissan Micra, 350z, Leon Cupra, Astra 1.8 SRi, VW Passat,

And waiting to extensively test my buddies Cayman
Those in bold I have spent days with rather than a quick drive. Others are simply quick drives.
I have no doubt missed loads out. So it's not comprehensive.
And if anyone is wondering why I had driven so many - I've been driving 5 years now had 6 service vehicles, owned 3 company cars (A190, Vectra, Passat), was on fleet insurance (Sccobs, Rover 200, CL500, ML320 and transits), and been track racing on numerous occassions (360, 550, GT3 (alll my bosses)).
Other I have test driven (TF & ZR, 147, Cupra) whilst the rest are my friends and family.

In order of driving
2004 Ka (driving instructor's) over-light power steering
1991 Escort 1.3 LX(my mum's)-slow, noisy, vague steering, but reliable and quite comfortable. Pretty endearing really.
1994 Clio 1.4 RT (mum's new car)-very nippy, but way under-geared for cruising, nice responsive handling, but a bit cramped
1997 Vectra 2.0 GLS(dad's old car, used it in the summer before he sold it)-very comfortable, good on motorways, handled ok (better than all reviews of it had me believe) but engine was pretty sluggish below 3000 rpm (supposed to be characteristic of 16v ones)
1987 Cavalier 1.8 GLSi (bought this as a project car)-engine (not to be confused with the 1.8 SPi used in the mk3 Cavalier) is a gem-quick and pulls well from low revs-112bhp may not sound much but it's only got to lug around 1060kg. Comfortable, and handling is better than I expected, although it would benefit from the suspenion/steering being rebushed for starters

Well, yes i dont have the "team" things JC :P I don't really want an A team replica, just big old cool van!
Ive also only got the straight 6
will be a V8 as son as funds allow!
up till today (last pass plus lesson) i'd only ever driven corsas. 5 different corsas mind you (first instructor's car, 2nd instructors car, & 3 hired dual control ones while i was learning), ranging from 04 plates to 06 plates. today my instructor showed up with a new car - an 06 skoda fabia. wasn't really a fan to be honest, found it very hard to feel the bite. with the corsas it was really obvious, but not so with the fabia! quite glad that was my last lesson to be honest, since i don't like the car much! i wouldn't have liked to have to get to know the new car the way i knew the old one, especially if i'd had a test coming up soon.
4 different corsa's (including a diesel), volvo 440 (TANK!), vauxhall zafira and astra (new style - don't like the cockpit), Daihatsu Charade (behold it's mighty 1 litre power and tremble!), Megane Tourer (ie an estate), Nissan Primera, KIA Sportage, SEAT Ibiza (P reg fun) and once, for 10 glorious minutes, a replica Jag SS120. Oh and a skid car.

Only been driving just over two years so not driven much at all.
Mk5 Ford Fiesta 1.25 16V (Instructors car) - Fairly nice car to drive.
Mk2 Citroen AX 1.0i Spree (First car) - was a great first car and reliable, surprisingly nippy for a 954cc too due to weight, though lacked torque.
Mk2 Seat Arosa sport 1.4 16V (Second car) - Not had it long but seems a fairly decent car, it feels safe and solidly built, nice to drive and seems pretty rare too. I haven’t seen another one on the road yet.

My friend from School had one of these (in sky blue), it was a fantastic car, really nippy and he only had the 1.2!
The 1.4 must be really nippy, 75bhp i think if its the same engine as my old Ibiza.
