How many cars do you own?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all. I’m on 3; possibly soon to be 4. I’m feeling like that’s too many right now. 
 

So hit me up. How many owned, and how many on the key and legal?

Posted

If you ask my wife, too many...........................

  • Haha 3

5 cars, 1 van, all just about legal, although the coupe's MoT expires at midnight (needs some light fettling prior to submission).

Way too many for a single bloke living on his own.

Thank goodness for skint neighbours and loads of parking, is all I say....

I've very rarely had more than 2 at any one time, but I have owned 118 since 1999...

3 old VWs, a Daihatsu Fourtrak, newer VW, two Hondas and an old Zafira. So eight. And that’s after fleet reduction. Aiming for 5 in the end. 
 

obviously when I say 5 I mean 29

As it stands right this minute... four cars, two vans, four scooters and maybe eight or nine motorbikes. Possibly ten.

Three, which depending on the day and my mood,  is either two too many, or 5 short of the ideal number. I also own two motorcycles, do these even count? I was looking at caravans too recently, but thankfully, the wife spotted this and began punching me about the head and chest until I came to see the error of my ways.

All three on the key, one on SORN.

One and it's less than three months old. Feel free to excommunicate me

One. Which is odd for me as never had less than two since before I passed my test.

Nine at once got a bit silly though

1979 Rickman ranger

1992 mini neon

2014 panda easy

2014 Focus estate

2019 Jaguar E pace (long term hire)

2002 Aprilia Mille

2019 Benelli TNT 125

2005 Conway Countryman (folding camper)

2019  motorbike trailer

 

not bad for a 1 car drive 🤡 lol

Currently 1.

I did however own 3 at one stage. A very rusty FIAT Panda, a slightly rusty MK2 Ford Fiesta and a not at that point rusty Citroen Saxo.

See my signature. It's too many but I like them all too much. In my defense, I haven't seen the two Oldsmobiles in almost a year...

Posted

One car and two bikes. No multi car or multi bike policies here. Each vehicle must have it's own policy, and they aren't cheap.

The days of me owning 11 motorbikes is but a distant memory.

Posted

5...

2015 Abarth

2003 Astra Estate

2000 VW Golf Convertible

2000 Lexus LS400

1957 Morris Minor

And I'm really trying to downsize, 2 of them should be gone by the end of this year and 1 will be replaced with something else. 
2 of them are road legal(Ones on Borris MOT) and one is legal if I taxed and insured it. Feel free to guess on which ones. 

Self plug, The Astra and Golf can be found for sale here too...

Posted

I have lost track again (must update my thread with numbers) but somewhere in the mid 50s. Only 23 on the insurance policy though.

Having failed to add another one today, I must return to thinning the fleet.....

Posted

Twenty nine listed below. Some belong to my girlfriend. I also have a company vehicle but clearly it is not mine despite costing me a fortune every month☹️. Due to current travel restrictions only 4 of the 29 are road legal but 2 extra could be road legal soonish. 
I think I may have too many cars but would still like a 1600E, Lotus Eclat or Elite and early Rover SD1.

The Mondeo needs to go and also the Seicento,  I would like to get rid of the BMW but that was not my choice! 

My ideal fleet would be all pre 1983 but I cannot see me selling the TVR, and the Panda has proved quite good for a modern car so may have to stay, although it has only been with us around 5 years so is a fairly new arrival.

5 for me

2001 Volvo V40

2007 Mini Clubman Cooper S

1994 Skoda Favorit

1999 Westfield

2005 E46 M3

Having serious hankerings about swapping the Volvo for something French and wafty

The formula of a real shiter, is 

X=y+1+z

Where X is the Ideal number of cars to own. y is the number of cars you currently own that are not road worthy, and z is the number of cars you own which are road worthy and legal to use. 

I own 1. My wife owns 2.

started the year with 3, up to four, back down to two and currently at 3.

I think 3 is the sweet spot for me.

10ish...

ish is how I used to count mine until I listed them all. You may be surprised how many you have! 😀👍

Posted

Just two at the moment. I would like it to soon be three.

Posted

Six at the moment. Seven when I had the Laguna. 

See signature for them if you're on the desktop site...

It's about my limit to be honest. Even this many takes an awful lot of my time and money to keep on the road. Not just maintenance but insurance/tax/consumables/storage rental/etc.

6, 4 on the road.

1998 BMW 728

Off the road, probably forever knowing my luck:

1992 Honda Beat (Rotten)

1991 Mini Neon (Rotten)

Too many in reality but I can't think of which one to move on.

2x mantas one legal one not

2x landrovers one legal one rusty

1x Mercury currently for sale

1x carlton legal

Seven.

I used to enjoy it but now? I’d like three. The problem is it’s difficult to disconnect when you’re emotionally and financially as invested as I am. So you keep chasing that illusion that harmony is just one repair bill away!

10 at the moment - on the low side for me.  Soon to be 11 though if something doesn't sell in the meantime.

 

2008 Ford Mondeo - on the road

2004 Fiat Scudo - taxed but not MOT'd

2003 Rover 75 - on the road

2003 Honda CR-V - MOT'd but not taxed

1998 Land Rover Freelander - on the road

1997 Toyota Carina E - on the road

1995 Škoda Felicia - on the road

1993 Innocenti Small - not currently T&T'd

1972 Renault 6 TL - on the road

1972 Volvo 164 - not currently on the road but T&T exempt so could be quite easily

And incoming shortly - 2008 Citroën C2 Code - on the road

 

Plus two mopeds -

1983 Honda Spacy 125 - not currently T&T'd

1980 Motobécane AV88 - not UK registered

 

All of them start on the button (or kick start for the Mobylette) and will drive, but the Scudo has HGF and the Volvo has no brakes at present.
