I used to be - see here - although the debts that it's caused plus planning a wedding means I'm largely behaving at the moment...

Guilty as charged m'lud.
I'm happily running about in the daily turbodiseasel Xantia right now, with a nice clear driveway now I've sold that green 2CV. But I'm having wicked thoughts about that minty H-plated Rover 416GSi in the For Sales. I don't need it, but......ohh FFS somebody buy it and remove the temptation!!!

Yep, another one here. I have too many wheels and too many cars yet I'm always looking at them in classifieds. Just done a 200 mile round trip to get some wheels for the mk1 golf that hasn't seen the road for over a year. My new favourite trick is "that'll definitely go for more than £200 on eBay" then a short time later "oh curse word, I've got a new car"

add me to the list, i currently have 7... for no reason at all.
if something of interest comes my way, or just it just happens to be cheap - i'll have it, then worry about what i'm gonna do with it later lmao!
i don't even have space for them, but i just cant help myself.
there should be a support group for folk like us!

Not me.
117 cars in 12 years is normal, right?

Glad I'm not the only one. I've had about 30 cars since 1999 when I got my licence. I currently have 4 in Norway and 5 in the U.K. Anyone else guilty of hoarding on an international scale?

ooh dear. This isnt good. Ive owned over 200 cars and I'm 34. Normally I just keep them for a few months and then sell them on (usually at a loss). I basically just use bangernomics. I worked out years ago a boring modern lease car would cost me around £180 a month on payments. As long as I don't lose any more than that I'm happy, and I can honestly say ive driven a wide variety of makes out there now. World record for me was once owning 7 cars at once and also when I was young and didnt know how engines worked I picked up a £50 mini that was smoking very badly with Blue smoke. I took the head off, realised that the big hole in one of those 4 round things didnt look too good and scrapped it before the day finished. It was a steep learning curve for me, but i wouldnt change it for a bit.
