How many Cars have you owned in total?

Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:01 pm

Apparently the average man owns between 6-8 cars in his lifetime and women 5-7 cars.

I think since I passed my test going back 15 yrs ago I have owned roughly 32-33 cars! :lol: So i kind of smashed that stat up!

I learnt how to drive in one of those disgusting station wagon VW Polo's and it was my first car for about 2 months, but it wasnt wise for street cred! :lol:

I use to do alot of swaps with mates, adverts and ebay and stuff! Started in Fiesta XR2's when they were all the rage and owned 3 of them at the same time at one point! Moved on to a couple of peugeot 206 GTi's onto to escort 3i's and a convertible one, before I got on to my faster turbo charged cars I owned a cavalier, astra, calibra, VW Golf (x2) and a mk3. I then started getting heavily involved doing up Renault 5 GT Turbo's had three of those at one time too, then came the bigger cars, The most fun one being a Nissan Pulsar GTi-R Jap Import pushing out 280bhp. I've had numerous amounts of cars in between and since, but I had to start this thread just out of interest after hearing the above stat!

Have to say, when I heard it - I pissed myself laughing thinking back at some of the cars and sheds I've owned! :lol:

13 I think, from a bloody Maestro right through to a Volvo S40 T5 which I currently own. Like you I've had some sheds, but I think my favourite was a Peugeot 306 XSI in black, lovely looking thing but expensive to run. My Volvo is only £18 a month to insure fully comp so happy days. :)

Driving near enough 6 years.

Metro - traded it in when I went to uni

Red Golf mk 3 - Tried to kill me, the breaks would randomly stick and the clutch died twice and the engine would shut off (owned it for 3 weeks)

Clio - ass hole with no license or insurance wrote it off :roll:

White Gold mk 3 - Lasted a while but eventualy fell to pieces especially the electrics, breaking would bring on all rear lights.

Peugeot 306 - lovley car, very fast, bitch in a micra smashed into the side of me :roll:

Seat Ibiza - Eventually the electrics went, but only in places, CD player, fans, windows but not lights etc.

Ford Fiesta - Traded Seat for it off an uncle, great car still going.

Anyone in my family will tell you I have "f**k all luck with cars"

Whoa! your too rich to have 32-33 cars in you man. Many man and women dreams to have one. But you rock! An astonishing 33 different cars in all. Wow what can i say i think you have all kinds and models. To old and to the new models even the simplest and to the hottest cars in the world. Right?

Gave up counting after 20 :lol:

I have had a wide range of cars including Vauxhall Viva, Talbot Samba, Sierra, Orions, Polo's and a Ford Diesal Van.

Currently I have a top of the range 1.4 60 plate VW Polo and a 57 plate SE Daihatsu Sirion which is a brilliant car.

First Car was a fiat, then a Capri.
Lost count Merlin, but the car I have now is 7 years old this May, I dare not change it as the Husky just wrecks it, I will wait till he is older.
