I got a jump on you lot as I lived many years in England, and owned a succession of them. A BRG 1960 Van, A Red 1961 850, then a Green 1966 Traveler. Next a Black 1071S, Replaced by a 1972 1275S. I had a hiatus until I bought my Mellow Yellow 2008 MCS. I have just replaced that with a new 2013 Lightning Blue MCS.
Which was my favorite? The one I had at the time!

I'm on my second one but not by choice. However, I'm very happy with the way circumstances turned out.
Previous: 07 MY MCS CPO (lemon'd)
Current: 13 PW/CR JCW HT
Hope to keep this going down the road.

Four so far and another in the near future.
1. 2006 R53 S-Ordered from scratch, drove it around 25K miles, then sold because I had one too many cars (also had Cayman S and Audi A3 then).
2. 2008 R56 S-Traded the leased A3 for it, missed the first one. Having had both generations, I will always say I prefer the R56's, to each their own. Sold it outright while waiting for the next....
3. 2009 JCW-Ooh yeah. Ordered from scratch, all red, great car, drove it 31K miles, salesman at dealership for #4 bought it from me.
4. 2011 JCW-Cycling buddy was now manager of the new dealer in town and made me a great offer to update. Ordered from scratch, custom leather interior done locally, one of kind awesomeness now at 24K miles.
5. 2013 GP2-on order from my friendly local dealership, expecting it in January. Will either trade or sell #4.

Just one here: my one and only 2006 BRG/W MCSm. Adopted as pre-owned in 2010.
I'm an R53 snob and will never replace this car. I could potentially add another to the stable, but I'll never get rid of Ruffian.
