So I managed to extract my spreadsheet from my old PC, and I've updated it with the vehicles I've owned since I was last able to access it.  I am indeed over 600, but only just - I've slowed down a lot recently and I didn't buy much during Covid for obvious reasons.  Here's the list if anyone's interested.  Commercial vehicles first, then motorcycles, both in approximate order of ownership.  Then cars, in roughly alphabetical order.

Fuck me that's quite a list Wuvvum! What was the average length of ownership do you know?

[wuvvum]

Average would be pretty hard to calculate - length of ownership has been anywhere from a few hours to 27 years.

I think. Just over 30, I actually thought it was more than that. Maybe missed a few but not many more. 

*Years are approximate. 

[leakingstrut]

Peugeot 309 1.3 Style (First car before I passed my test) 

Ford Sierra Sapphire 1.8 (Gearbox blew on on first trip, which was my first solo drive after my test, promptly scrapped)

The same 309, put back if the road after the sierra died.

Citroen ZX 1.9 TD Memphis 

Fiesta MK3 1.3  (Temporary car when the above blew its head gasket)

Citroen ZX 1.9 TD Volcane (Head gasket went on the Memphis again)

Peugeot 406 1.8 Estate (Base shed,  ex farmer and smelled like it, loved it)

BMW e36 325 tds (written off)

Triumph Toledo (Was my Dad’s, we rebuilt it when he bought another, but had to go due to rust and moving to a flat)

VW Bora 1.9 TDI 110 

BMW e36 325 tds (a different one)

BMW e46 320d touring (wanted cruise and a diesel that got more than 40mpg, brilliant car, did almost 100k in it)

Vauxhall Vivaro (Injectors went, was an immobile storage shed for most of my ownership) 

Peugeot 208 1.6 HDI (Actually my wife’s, but with the BMW scrapped and Vivaro dead it was the only car is the household - work got my hire cars all the time and I didn’t have a commute)

Kia Rio (Bought very cheap and I spent the purchase again price putting new tyres on it, it was shite in a charming way, utterly rotten)

Ford Focus 1.6 MK2 (A cast off from my dad, had a dodgy dash which crashed the canbus causing it not to start. Solution was to hit the top of the dash till it started)

Freelander 2 Auto (Still got it, done 60,000 hard miles in it. It’s been great as long as you don’t tot up the maintenance bills)

Triumph Toledo (TR7 engine, bought from this very forum) 

So that’s 16 I think? Never clicked before now I’ve owned two of the same car three times - ZX, e36 and Toledo. 

Edit: Looking back there are very few I didn’t love. The Vivaro was a disaster, I should have fixed it but not needing a vehicle it just sat broken - luckily it did get fixed by the next owner as it was a good van otherwise.

The Bora was a disappointment, nice engine and interior but after the 406 and e36 the handling was a massive disappointment.  I regret selling the green 325tds, they are rare as hens teeth now, even if the 320d was a better car aside from having a less characterful engine. 
 

I would say I regret not keeping the Toledo but I’ve got a better one now!

I did not realise I am such an amature compared with you!

600+ while I am only 200+ and that is shared with Mrs6C. Even if you count my 76 company cars, 44 of which were brand new I am nowhere.

So I managed to extract my spreadsheet from my old PC, and I've updated it with the vehicles I've owned since I was last able to access it.  I am indeed over 600, but only just - I've slowed down a lot recently and I didn't buy much during Covid for obvious reasons. 

Glad I'm not the only one who keeps a spreadsheet.

My own list is hand written because it was started in the early 1980s so is hard to share.

Yep, I keep a spreadsheet too. I like to log things like drivetrain, country of origin, colour etc for extra sad points

31. I think that’s it off the top of my head, feel like I’ve missed one. Included cars registered in the good lady’s name, but where I chose/paid for them 😂 

[Saabnut]

Unfortunately I am neither organised enough to keep spread sheets nor young enough to have a good enough memory, but it must be well over 1000 if I include the vehicles I owned when I ran the garage. Currently have over 40 though starting to make progress on reducing that number. Smallest would be a Trojan 200, largest a '62 Buick convertible, plus have had many commercials and bikes. Never owned a full size bus and the only engine type I have not owned is a V10

Not enough, judging by this thread! In my nearly 10 years on the road I've only managed 8 and technically only 4 of those were bought as daily drivers:

• 1999 Vauxhall Corsa Envoy 1.0 12v  - for a year
• 2004 Renault Megane 1.6 VVT Dynamique - for 3 and a half years
• 2004 Peugeot 206 SW 1.4 S (bought to flip) - for about a month, maybe 6 weeks
• 2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.6 DIG-T Tekna - for 3 and a half years
• 2007 Fiat Sedici 1.6 Dynamic (bought to flip - should've kept!) - for about 6 weeks
• 2010 Vauxhall Meriva 1.6 Twinport Club (bought to flip - should've kept!) - for about 3 months
• 2012 Skoda Octavia Scout 2.0 CR 140 4x4 ex-paramedic/blood bikes (bought to flip) - 48 whole hours!
• 2021 Nissan Qashqai 1.3 DIG-T MH Tekna - a year and a bit so far, on the hook for it for another 2 and a half unless I chop it in early.

I still have a couple of other layouts to tick off the list as well as V10 - I've never had a flat 12 or a straight 8, or indeed a V5.

I still have a couple of other layouts to tick off the list as well as V10 - I've never had a flat 12 or a straight 8, or indeed a V5.

I’ve never had anything that wasn’t 4 cylinders. ( well. I bought a 107 for my son and it was registered in my name for a few months until he was 17).

Cos I is simples…

I was young and pre having kids, was either working or in the pub at this age. It had been lying for a while I think, and just a bit worn out, especially the clutch hydraulics which constantly had issues. I thought as I had a van for work I could get away with something like this but in hindsight it was a bad choice. I’m glad I’ve had one though
