For example, I don't smoke (anymore) and drink very little, and I have no interest in socialising, buying clothes or smelling nice....having no offspring helps too. Storage was the biggest problem. Thats solved by contacts who knows a decent farmer. Hmm, that's sounding promising, i don't smoke either, don't often drink very much, not too bothered about clothes etc really, and don't want kids! (maybe a cat or dog though) |

I've got two, the Golf in my sig and a £20 Corsa. The Golf is off the road due to lack of funds and the Corsa gets me to and from work. I can barely afford to run the Corsa right now, earning minimum wage in a temp job isn't the best really  But my aim is to sort my life out a bit and get the Golf back on the road next year, hopefully before CaRS |

2 retro MGBGT and Midget
1 Daily 06 Hyundai Coupe
Insurance is an anus but I need the modern for work and I can bear to take the GT off the road.

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Erm, something like: Corsa TD, Nova TD, Merc 190E, Maestro van, Rover 214, BX TXD estate, BX1.9TD TZD, Pug 205 diesel, V*lksw*g*n Sharan, BMW 318i and Merc recovery truck, probably another BX on the way and maybe a Fiat Tempra (or some kind of Fiat, forgotten what it`s called).
All in various states of disrepair, Beemer heading for melt down as will be Fiat.

Ive got 6, but theres 12 in my family. Ive got Mini Fiesta Metro Fiat Escort Spare mini Dads got Pajero Anglia 1 Anglia 2 Escort Transit and my mums got a Pug 206  I also part own 2 more, an escort and a secret project. I freely admit i have too many, i would like to get down to just owning the 4 maybe even 3 but its difficult! How can i have that many?? To put it bluntly I can afford it cous me and my dad run our cars as a buisness not as a hobby. Therefore we have workshops, storage space and equipment which pays for its self. Unlike most people i can build a car without making a huge finacal loss it just takes shed loads of time. I'm committed to building cars and have invested money in them rather then just spending it. Its a bit more then just a hobby, its my life! |

I've got 4 personally, not including old field cars.
Land Rover Defender 90- On the road
BMW e21 316- Currently off the road, will be swapped with defender on road when finished
Land Rover Series 3- Bought on a whim, currently up on all axle stands...
Range Rover 3 door- My offroad beast! Picked up for £300
There's no way I could afford to keep more than one on the road though. I can pretty much have as many cars as I like, I live on a spacious farm with lots of indoor storage.
My dad though, he went a bit nuts during the mid 90s. His total stand over 30.
12 Rover P6s assorted 2000TC/SC 2200 3500
4 Rover P4 100s
1927 Alvis Silver Eagle (re-chassied)
Alvis TD21
Bedford CA camper
Bedford CA
Bedford CF
2 Volvo 340s
Ford Zodiac Limo (pink baby!)
Land Rover Discovery V8 3.9
'97 Toyota Corolla
1988 Transit
And he has around 6-7 other various wrecks around the farm. Most cars I've listed are in a state of disrepair, but car collecting sure runs in my family!

I only (compared to bolox) have three. But the focus I am selling very soon to finance other junk.
Then it'll just be the crapi and the viva left.

At the moment 6 (daily T25, summer T25,longterm project Audi 100, 2 Passats and one Passat/Santana) +1 Scirocco which is not mine, but it is stored in the workshop and i can use it... Santana is being broken at the moment and will be going soon, but there is a VW Type 3 hatchback in sight ;D and just yesterday i couldn't shut up while speaking with another car messie, so there will be a nice Jetta Mk.I project in the near future. For me the greatest thing is "finding" the cars... it is so much fun not to search, but finding these cars....

the imp (obviously) not really a daily driver but i use it when the wifes not using;
the volvo T4 ,officially 'her' car as its in her name,as she's the main user she gets free road tax on account of her blue badge status
and soon to arrive the skoda a-go-go,the freebie felicia from the mother in law,not tax,mot or insurance but that won't stand in my way ;D
new project? well who knows? could be another imp,could have two wheels ,i haven't made my mind up yet.

A very healthy five, three of which are all legal. Although I really want to get that down to two by Christmas. I've had enough of looking at stuff rot away that I'm paying to store... Plus I need the space to build a caravan. Shed dragging here I come... ;D
I pay for them by not running a depreciating 3k+ daily.
