What amazes me is how long some people have the same car...

 

Maybe I just buy the wrong ones to begin with, but my longest time (by some margin) is 2 1/2 years, shortest 8months I think, its a fairly close call between 3 different cars for the shortest.

Between 22-29 I've had, in order:

MK3 Fiesta 1.1 - scraped...rot

Rover 214 (Mk2) - scraped...Pas failed

Peugeot 106 1.1 - written off

Rover 620 - written off

MK3 fiesta 1.1 - scraped...rust

Suzika Swift 1.0 - sold at 90000 miles, still on the road

Mk4 Golf 1.6 - scraped...gearbox failed

Renault Megane Classic 1.6e Saloon - scraped...chassis rotted through!

Mk3 Golf 16v - sold at 193000 miles, still going strong!

Mk2 Octavia Estate - current

Next I want a Ph1 106 and put an K04'd AGU 1.8t with 4mo running gear in just need a nice sized garage and a few spare £s!

Lets see. I no particular order.

15-16
Ford Probe GT Scrapped. Mechanical failure + MOT failure.

17-21

Mercedes 190D( C ) Scrapped. Rust damage.
Mercedes 190E( C ) Scrapped. Stolen and crashed. New shell acquired.
Mercedes E-Class Wagon (W211) Sold.
Volvo 240 Scrapped. Mechanical failure.
Volvo 245 Still alive somehow. Awaiting new exhaust and rust repair.
Volvo V90 Scrapped. Failed MOT due to axe hole in roof.
Volvo 850 Scrapped. Mechanical failure. 
Skoda Fabia Sold. Mechanical failure.
Skoda Octavia Sold. 
Skoda Felicia 3L Current project.
Skoda Pickup Scraped. Rust damage
Smart ForTwo Sold.
Saab 9-5 Sedan Current daily driver.

Looks like I'm buying a 2010 Ford Focus Titanium 2.0TDCI (wagon) in two weeks. Time to step up a buy a proper and safe car. Gonna miss my mad projects though.

After 13 years and around 22 cars and 4 bikes I can't really be bothered to type them all out. Longest time I've owned a car is 2 years, shortest is 21 days, have had another couple for less than a month each as well

17 mk3 ford feista 1.3

17-18 phase 1 Peugeot 306 1.6

18-19 phase 3 Peugeot 306 1.8

19-24 skoda fabia vRS

And when I turn 25 ill be leaving Skoda and buying my self a 2009 Mercedes C class....320 cdi of course

 

think MGB

The fastest thing in these cars is the fuel gauge going down.  Friend had MGB-GT in the seventies and it always felt fast because you b*m was almost scraping the ground but o-60 in 11.1secs?

At 19 I had a 1972 Ford Escort Mk1 1300, (but modified a bit)

At 58 I have a 1974 Ford Escort Mk1, (in the process of being modified a bit)

I suspect I haven't grown up technically. (I also have a 1972 Rover V8 for driving in straight(ish) lines)

At 18 I had a Mk1 Escort Sport.

I sold that and whilst still 18 bought a Rover 3500 V8 (that made for an interesting phone call to the insurance brokers!)
