Are you a petrolhead? If so what do you drive, and why?

I'm definitely a car nut.
I'm pretty skint, but I love cars and driving. I've had a few fairly entertaining cars in the past:-
Fabia vRS
Golf Mk2 GTI
Clio 172 and 182
Eunos RS Limited and a UK 1.8
MR2 Turbo
Integra Type-R DC2
Nissan 350Z Convertible
Primera GT
E36 328
Ford Puma
I'm currently driving an E46 328. I love it. Great place to site, lovely interior, handles great, quick, sounds great, not too expensive to run.
Nothing like going out for a hoon, taking in some scenery and enjoying some challenging roads away from the hustle and bustle.
Anyone else on here a petrolhead? What do you drive? What experiences have you had?

or even a mecedes CLK AMG!
but i live in the sticks so to speak and travel to work thru some nice twisties, and sat in sports mode letting the turbo push the car, its definetely got me grinning still , and wearing continentals around the alloys i get to grin in the wet as well;)

I've had some daft cars. I drove an 03 plate 330ci M-Sport until earlier this year, when I moved jobs so was going to double my daily commute. Loved it, but it was getting tired so had to go. So now I drive a Vauxhall Insignia SRi VX-Line 2.0l diesel. Slower, but more practical.
Awesome choice! I was driving the same one until a few months back when I swapped over to the Panamera Turbo S. I absolutely adored the big Jag, but the Porsche, in my opinion, is a step up in performance. You drive one so you know damn well how insanely quick that Jag is for a car of it's size. The Porsche though, well that's just f**king ballistic and the handling for such a big car is simply staggering.

In the recent past;
Audi a8 - I loved that car
Nissan Skyline R33 - he loved that. Looked like a **** in it though, such a 'Barry' car...
An old Volvo estate that had a ridiculously high BHP.
And I like our shogun.
Previous motors in my driving history:
Ferrari 430
Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale
Mitsubishi Evo - incredible car
Just enjoyed a Chevy Camaro SS in the US - 6.2 litre V8. Beautiful sound and huge power, though the torque seemed underpowered especially compared to the Evo and even to the Mercedes.
Late 80's early 90's had three XR3's, went from them to a 2wd Sapphire Cosworth, next up was a 4wd Sapphire Cosworth after that I went into a Subaru faze, started with a WRX then a Impreza P1 then an Impreza STI8
Then it was time for being a bit sensible and growing up a bit, a 5 series BMW Diesel, then it was an X5, next up was a Range Rover Sport and an Audi A4 convertible, finally we now have another X5 and BMW 520d M Sport.
When I think about it, we've spent a bloody fortune over the years, scary scary stuff!
Never owned a car I can't stand traffic.
Guess you're a dieselhead now rather than a petrolhead!
Oh dear, deluded or what , would the fanny be attached to a blind elderly lady by any chance ?
and why? I am a thrill seeker, who likes to accelerate rapidly - because it feels very very nice
Perhaps the most fun I have had in a car possibly ever! (and this includes some of the supercars I've been fortunate enough to drive round a track in).
Back in the day a Focus ST.
2.6 with Eibach suspension and 3.0 cams
My favourite hatch back!
