HMC Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tul66 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 If you ask my wife, too many........................... sutty2006, Cord Fourteener and Twiggy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayts450 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I've very rarely had more than 2 at any one time, but I have owned 118 since 1999... spartacus and willswitchengage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickvw72 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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 Eyersey1234 and catsinthewelder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 As it stands right this minute... four cars, two vans, four scooters and maybe eight or nine motorbikes. Possibly ten. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRi05 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Two. And that's too many for me 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeyethenoo Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainrcz Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaefft Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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... Vince70 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzy Woking Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17-Coffees Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabnut Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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..... Shite Ron, robinmasters, uk_senator and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite Ron Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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. paulplom, motorpunk, Hawkeyethenoo and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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. Shite Ron, timolloyd, loserone and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders59 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Just two at the moment. I would like it to soon be three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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! spartacus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 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. trigger and ProgRocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
