My father had an Austin A40, even before I was born and then Standard Herald Mark III during my pre-school days.

After that he had a Amby Mark II which was first modified to a Mark III, then to a Mark IV and then back to Mark II with a Matador Diesel engine which was kind of a rule of the land in 90's. He also had a Premier Padmini along with the Amby.

My first car was a Fiat UNO, which I loved a lot. Then I moved on to a Viva CRDi which I currently drive.

[ram_hyundai]

My earlier cars were a santro and an amby.Now i am enjoying the verna to the core and a swift will join in a few days time.

Let's see...
One of my grandfathers had various scooters and lunas for quite some time, not sure of dates.
The other I am told had a car while he was working in Singapore and left just after the Japanese had taken over, his brother was a rich resteraunter there, and I am told that he was one of the richest Indians there at the time. However he died and lost almost all his money [except what my grandfather escaped with]. He supposedly had a fleet of luxury cars, not sure of any details though.

My Dad bought his first car in the 70s while in the states, a 2nd gen corrolla, she was a 2 door hatchback, red, with a 1.6L 4cyl 8v engine that put out 102hp!!!
When my dad returned to India [for marriage] he bought a Premier Padmini i think it had the floor shifter, but he sold it after 2 days. he apparently couldn't use the car after his beaut corrolla...

Well to cut things short
US of A
1974 - 2nd gen Corrolla [SOLD]
2007 - 2001 model Mitsubishi Gallant (3.0 V6, CAI, FFE with Remus endcan, plugs etc...puts out about 220 at wheels bought from an auto mech)
2007 - BMW 325i (Dad's car)

Saudi Arabia
Don't know any dates, but I know that we had many cars and a huge sprawling house there, at one time we had 6 cars in our stable...
3 Honda Accords, we had one first (4 door) then sold it, got another 4 door Accord, as well as a 2 door one.
Mazda 929 Wagon
Nissan Patrol
We got a Merc E class before I was born, so whichever model was sold in 87.
There was a time that dad was picked up everyday in a RR from our house, as the Shaikh who owned the company he was working for used to come and pick him up every morning, as they had to discuss business.
The same dude offered dad an S class, but dad declined as he was leaving the company.

Singapore
1990 - BMW 316i (Direct import from Germany) [My baby still with me]
1991 - Nissan Sunny EX Saloon [Stollen!!! 4 months after purchase]
1993 - Mitsubishi Lancer GXi [SOLD]
1996 - BMW 520i [Either 520 or 525 dad can't remember] [SOLD]
2007 - 2004 model Jag XJ6 (Dad's car...I am still not allowed to touch it let alone drive it!!!)

India - Delhi
2000 - Imported my 1990 Beamer [paid full duty on the damn German price!!!]
2000 - Opel Astra Club [SOLD]
2000 - Merc E class [SOLD] (Was forced to sit in this against my will!!)
2000 - Tata Safari (Never once sat in this car) [SOLD]
Ok, after this we got a lot of cars, something to do with tax, foreigners living in India got some exemptions if they invested in cars. The rule no longer exists. So will just list them as I really can't remember when we bought what...Some of the cars I can't even remember.
Opel Corsa [SOLD]
Opel Vectra (my favorite car of all time sold in India) [SOLD]
Mercedes E Class the one with oval lights (not a merc fan, and never sat in this car) [SOLD]
Mercedes C Class Kompressor [SOLD] (Sat in this one)
Chevrolet Forester (Used to drive to school in this, beautiful vehicle) [SOLD]
Chevrolet Optra (my other daily car in delhi, loved the 1.8) [SOLD]
Toyota Corrolla [SOLD]
Toyota Camry [SOLD]
Honda CRV (Still there in delhi, kept with a friend)
2004 model Honda Accord (with me in Mumbai)

Mumbai
2005 - 1990 Beamer trucked to Mumbai
2005 - 2004 Accored trucked to Mumabi [Haven't seen this car in a while hope dad didn't sell it]
2005 - Toyota Corrolla (my daily driver. It's an automatic, and I just calculated the fuel efficieny of the car today, from tankful to tankful. She delivers a WHOPPING 6.5 KM to the litre Where are all those "average kya hai people"? getting her serviced on friday, I think something is wrong!)
2006 - Innova Petrol
2006 - Honda City [SOLD]

Waiting for the launch of the Punto and Linea, one or both will join the list.

Before anyone rips on me, My brother is in the US now, and uses the Gallant, Beamer is dad's car as he is there for at least 3-4 months in a year.

All our cars in Saudi except for the 2 door Accord and Mazda 929 were company cars.

In Singapore we had few cars as dad was the only one who drove, so never had more than 2.

In Delhi, we were advised by tax consultants how much to spend on cars per year...a couple of cars were company cars, and well due to availability of chauffers, and the fact that my bro started driving at the age of 16, and me at the age of 14...well we had quite a few cars...it was the norm, especially on the street where I used to live, some of my neighbours had around 30-40 cars!!!

Mumbai - Sold most of our Delhi cars as tax rules have changed, and dad isn't really around that often any more, just me n mom most of the time...hence I think the Accord is sold...

Santro(2003)
Looking for the Fabia(depending on how good/bad the dealer is)

Bought all the trucks secondhand, just for the heck of driving something the size of a house on wheels. used to sell them after every 6 months or so. Has the Mustang for a year and a half, until i got domesticated and settled for a CRV

US
Ford F-150 (2001)
Dodge Durango(Hemi V-8)
Chevy Tahoe
Chevy Impala
Mustang
CRV

I went through a couple of cars in Europe, looking for a combo of Space(would cost me a fortune in parking if i had a big car). When i had the GTI i drove like a maniac and fuel bills shot through the roof.Finally settled on the BMW for the trips in the Autobahn.Since it is getting a little too small for the wife and kid, am graduating to the A6 turbo. That way can have my cake and eat it. Wifey can stick with the Beemer

Europe

Golf GTI
BMW 118d
