View Full Version : Who's had more cars than me?
Ok, I'm 20 and I've only been driving 2 years 10 months, and I've owned all these vehicles. Anyone think they can do better? :)
Peugeot 306 1.4 - Mum's ('97 R)
VW Polo 1.0 ('83 A)
VW Golf 1.6 Driver ('90 G)
Nissan Sunny Coupe 1.6 ('88 F)
Ford Capri 2.8i Special ('85 C)
MG Metro Turbo 1.3 ('90 G)
Ford Sierra XR4X4 2.8i ('88 E)
Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI ('89 G)
Ford Capri 2.8i Special - yes, another one! ('87 D)
... And my 200SX ('90 H)
The amount of money I've spent on cars... :D :D :D
How did you find Capri ownership?
I've always fancied one for some arse out loonity!!
Dave
I loved my Capri - the handling was terrible and the brakes were cack - but the way you could go sideways at a brush of the throttle and bring it back into line just as easily was so cool!
Plus itcould beat a lot of stuff that wasn't expecting it - especially at higher speeds - mid-range power was very good.
And the NOISE that V6 made was gorgeous... :D :D :D

OK, I'm now 29, been driving since 17, and have owned at a guess 50 cars now... I have 3 at the moment, although I'm trying to cut back...
I think I've had 15 minis, a porsche, an S13 200SX, 3 Mazda 4 x 4 turbos, a Strada Abarth, a Volvo, Fords, Vauxhalls, Citroens, Peugeots, a Celica, and a fair bit in etween. I think I'll stick with what I have for a while now though, although I miss the sideways behaviour of the 200:p

Since I'm into my 50's too many to mention but everything from a Mini to Bentley Turbo R.
Still like the 200 as one of the best though.
If you're talking pure owned, then 6 (I'm 20) plus a bike.
If you're talking driven... lost count. easily 50-70 though. Minimum
