	Saw a similar post on another forrum and it got me thinking...... I've owned a lot of cars, so spent (wasted according to 'er indoors) a couple of hours going through old photos etc to jog my memory. A long list and even so I'm sure I've forgotten a few! There are quite a few I now wish I'd never sold! Wonder how many are still around?

	Could not even begin to count. Most I've ever had at one time was 43 about two years ago. I'm under 20 now and trying to slim the collection down a little more.

	Approx 130 I think, though I lose count. Some were driven, some were flipped for profit. Almost all of them were rubbish. cough You can read all about my old cars HERE if you feel so inclined. Chris

I know the feeling. I can remember struggling to sell an absolutely mint 2 door range rover (that would now be tax exempt) for £1000. Would probably be worth 7 or 8 times that these days, funny how things change.

	In some kind of order, owned 2-3 of them at a time, the Hondas were always daily drivers until my commute doubled and in came the VW Dervs. Some of the RX-7s were parts cars.

	didn't really think it was that many until l try and remember them MK1 Capri 1.6 GXL My dads car started restoring but never finshed and sold on...wish l had kept it MK1 Fiesta 1.1L first proper car change just about everything and then sold it on. Metrol 1.0 bought done up and sold to friend in the family and they are still a friend.. Alfa Sud Green clover leaf usualy not rotten done up and sold on could never get 3rd gear when cold Cavalier SRi bought during my hooligan phase so olny lasted a month until written off... MK5 Cortina 2.0 gl auto great car and only sold it when lancia was done. Fiesta Super sport ok so it was a look-a-like but did have puka engine drove that and cortina with same tax disc hu hum... Lancia Gamma saloon bought this because like the look of it restored and loved driving it, wish l still had it great engine noise.. Suzuki super carry bought for economy and carry stuff was no good at either... Astramax van put me off old cars for a while and seeing one again causes nervous twitch, everything broke on it. Skoda Favorit CD estate first brand new car and was top of the range with cd player ooooooo Skoda Felica 1.3 Gl second brand new car this was ragged everywhere did nearly 120 on m25!!! Fiesta 1.1 auto curse word gearbox but was cheap Vauxhall people carrier thing with forgetable name Vauxhall Astra estate ur more forgetable xantia 1.9 td green just kept on going even when gearbox whining for 40k miles xantia 2.0 VXS auto great condition car and quite quick but big ends went and they were cheap as chips xantia 1.9 td white bought for 100 quid driven for a year then sold for 100 quid you can't ask for more xantia 1.9 SX grey ok so l see a theme here, but was last one because could cycle to work 190E merc bought because the VSX expired was great car even if wife called it pimp mobile because it had a body kit! Mitsubishi space wagon auto just not enough seats in the merc... Toyota lucida great bus and took us everywhere, the only one wife cried when was taken away after cam belt snapped bloody pattern parts!! Golf auto bought because toyota expired. Kia sedona bough because we thought would be newer safer, more economical reliable. was none and complete rubbish sole to we buy any car because l felt l could had the keys over to some one in good faith. Toyota Lucida great condition low mileage example to drive for years until muppet drove into the back the wrote it off!! Audi coupe v6 car l bough while looking for economical diesel lol using it in germany and overtaking germans he he Toyota Lucida latest one hopefully this one will last longer Oh and Triumph Herald (current project)and Escort MK7 donor for engine and off all that lot brobably 95% are no long around. Still wish l had the Gamma would probably be the last one left.....tear begins to form in left eye....pull yourself together man!
