5 years and 9 cars

1.8 per year

22 in 14 years between me and swmbo (16 to me 6 to her but all changed at my request )

Now thats a good but somewhat scary question. I have had in 13 years in order of first to last.

Vauxhall Belmont 1.6 diesel

Honda Civic 1.4

Vauxhall Corsa 1.5 TD in purple no less

Peugeot 405 1.9 TD

Peugeot 405 Mi16 4x4 (what a car that was)

Ford Orion 1.6 Ghia

Nissan Urvan Pop Top Camper van (while in OZ)

Ford Fiesta (while in OZ)

Mitsubishi Colt 1.6 GLXi

Nissan Primera GT

Ford Focus TDCI

Skoda Fabia VRS

Ford Maverick 2.7 TD

Vauxhall Frontera 2.8 TDI

Ford Focus 1.6 LPG

Ford Fiesta 1.1

Ford Focus ST170

Mazda Tribute V6 LPG

Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (arrives in May)

So thats 19 cars in 13 years, some of them overlap but thats quite scary how many i have actually had. 1.46 cars per year :eek: .

1. Capri 1.6GL (with a 2.0GL badge on the back) - 2 years

2. XR3i (before most people realised the significance ) - 3 years

3. Maestro ('MG' ) 2.0efi 3 years

4. Montego ('MG' again) 2.0 Turbo 3 years

5. Renault Clio 1.9 diesel 13 years (actually, it just finally died yesterday - :( )

6. Octavia 1.9TDi 'SLX' - 4 years

7. Octavia 1.9TDi elegance (130bhp) 3 years

8. Octavia vRS TDi - now

Rough figures though, the clio was owned concurrently as a second car.

Dave.

17 in 13 years ..so about 1.3 cars a year.

Lets see...

Panda - 3 years

AX - 5 years

Ka - 2 years

Octy 1 - 3 years

Octy 2 - 1 year so far but will be at least 3 before I change

That'll end up at 5 cars in 16 years.

So thats 19 cars in 13 years, some of them overlap but thats quite scary how many i have actually had. 1.46 cars per year :eek: .

I forgot one, I had a Talbot Sunbeam for a rally car for a couple of years. That takes me up to 20. Its now 1.54 Cars per year :eek: .

1994 M Citroen ZX 1.9D - 1 year, 1 month

1997 R Peugeot 306 1.6 XS - 2 years, 3 months

2004 04 Skoda Fabia vRS - 1 month and counting

So I'm on my 3rd car in 3 and a half years but will probably be a while before I change again. Changes have been due to increased affordability and lowering insurance, so I may get bored after a couple of years but at the moment I'm loving the Fabia

MK2 Polo Formel E - 3 Months

MK3 Golf 1.4 Ryder - 8 Months

MK3? Astra 1.4 - 6 Months

MK3? Astra 1.6 16v GLS - 12 Months

MK4 Polo 1.4 CL - 36 Months

MK5 Polo GTi - 36 Months

Fabia vRS - 32 Months

I have had 9 in 10 years, so not bad.

I've had the same car for 11 years, not bad considering it was 14 years old when I bought it.

About 9 cars a month for me.

I hope you mean 9 months a car :confused:

Otherwise you're changing every 3.3 days. They're cars, not underpants

im averaging a brank spanker every 1.5 years since year 2000

wondered where my money was going...

Austin Mini 850cc - £?.

Mini 1275GT Clubman - £40 brought from friend, non runner, used for parts.

Mini 1000cc - £90. Stripped out and caged.

Fiesta 1.1 - £220.

Fiesta 998cc - £40 - non runner, brought for parts.

M reg Fiesta Si 1.4i - £4,600 (ish). Sold back to Ford garage.

MG Metro 1.3 - £40 - lasted 2 months!! Sold for about £150.

E reg Fiesta XR2 1.6 - £190 - Stolen and not recovered.

E reg Ford Escort XR3 1.6i - £1,500. Proved to bit a bit 'wide-boy' for my tastes.

C reg Vauxhall Cavalier MK2 1.6 - £60 sold for £90 after two months. Awesome car.

J reg Vauxhall Cavalier MK3 1.6 - £50 sold for £250 after 1 month.

Metro 1.3 Clubman - £7!!! Turned up and the guy was moving house, he offered me the car for the money in my pocket and the deal was made!! Lasted 6 months.

C reg Opel Manta GT/e 2.0 - £200. Excelent car, kept for a good 3 years.

R reg Vauxhall Vectra 2.0 SRi - £3,700. Sold to SWMBOS parents Feb 06

Skoda Octavia vRS - £6k ish. Brought Feb 06 - present. Planning to keep a while yet!

All in 11 years.. mainly over a 3 year period for the first 8..!! I had a habit of buying cheap cars with MOT and TAX and then running / abusing them till it expired and selling them on / scraping them. Had some cracking little motors. Most memorable being the MK2 Cavalier, the Mini 1000 and the Manta. The mini 850 almost killed me and the XR2 caused me no end of trouble when it was stolen.

So thats... a change of car every 8.8 months.. on average.

had 3 cars in 2 years

nissan micra mk1

vw polo

skoda fabia vRS

In 6 years of car ownership, I've owned 5 cars, although that's with some overlapping

Chris

Ive managed 10 cars and only passed my test 5 years ago in july. This nearly became 11 at the weekend too, and may yet make that by the end of the month. Not bad going i wouldnt say.

Two cars in 24 years is that a record but even I have to say I need to change a bit more often

4 cars in just over 4 years.

1st Car - one lovely Skoda Favorit which I put about 30K plus on the clock before giving to my sister

2nd car - Skoda Felicia 1.3 R reg new shape - had it 6 weeks and crashed it, repaired it, kept it another year and then crashed again - this time a write off

3rd car - Skoda Felicia 1.6 P reg old shape - kept it 7 - 8 months and change it to

4th car - Skoda Felicia 1.6 R reg new shape - currently still driving it - all being well. Wouldn't mind an Octavia!!

9 cars in 10 years. this topic is begging for poll options though !
