	Jeeez Ratdat... I have to live to 1584 years to reach that number! Bought my first car July '04, second in May '06, still have both. I'm a wimp when it comes to buying and selling cars! (I'm 32 and my gf and me just celebrated our 16th year together... guess I'm just very loyal/faithful )

	seth said: indeed! Just so us mere mortals have a vague idea, how many of them were "runners" Ratdat? I'd say about 30 of them were ones that were either non runners or deeply unroadworthy but of those I think about 8 were/are cars for restoration rather than just fit for parts. Two of the ones i currrently own fall into the non runner catagory, including my '77 Nissan Cedric and '68 Datsun 1000. the Cedric will get restored but the 1000 probably won't (unless someone fancies a project?)
