My dad was and still is probably worse than me with cars. Even me little sisters aged 18 & 21 are totally into cars (although they cant afford ins. on bigger cars yet).
My dad currently has an R33 Liner with the odd mod.
He's had bloody all sorts: Mini's (obviously the best car ever ), alfa's, Celica GT4's, MKiii Supra's, couple of liners, Bmw 635 CSI (nice car), 3-4 Jags, Merc 500 SL (damn nice car) - there's just a few of the decent ones, but believe me he's had lots of crap too:
Fiat Croma turbo (blew it up every 4 months ), G-wagon for off-roading (old style thing that just had no power) - he even had a 3 wheeler robin reliant which he was gonna mod to hell and drag but never got around to it - lol thank god
