How long have you had your Lotus

[C7Steve]

Oh god, just did a quick count of the cars I've had over the last 45 years........I'm up to 48 and I'm sure I've probably missed some. Started with a Ford Anglia and now on Evora, an S1 plus a couple of others.

Think I have a bit of an issue with cars, and I wondered why the first wife left me

Come on then, get the list up.

That's some list Graham. I cannot manage you in a Ka though, but I am thinking that it might have been bought for your daughters driving lessons maybe??? Also, did you and Scott not build a kit car together?

Steve,

Ooops thats one blank filled in, I'm pretty sure there are a few more I've missed. The Street Ka was one of my best investments, picked it up for pennies one winter to run to work and home ( during the hours of darkness), sold it in spring for way more than I paid for it. But were the pennies worth the piss taking....definately not.

Cheers

I will slip in my rather small list of cars

I get the feeling that Elise's attract polar opposites - serial car buyers who own them from brief periods, then the proper long term owners like us..

I also haven't owned a lot of cars ..

Austin Mini Sprite LE
VW Jetta LX 1.3
Rover Mini 1.3 mpi
Lotus Elise (still got it)
Fiat Punto HGT
Seat Leon Cupra 1.8 20v T
Alfa 159 1.9 JTDm (still got it, family car used by my wife)
Porsche 944 S2 (still got it but not for long hopefully..)
Maserati Coupe GT (4200) (not had it long, bought to, erm, replace the Porsche)

The Punto was my first foray into multiple car ownership a sensible daily to relive the Lotus. It then evolved to the Seat / Alfa as we decided there was a need for a sensible family car..

Though when I add in cars we've had in the family (ie, my wife's cars) the list obviously grows..

Fiat Panda Fizz
Rover Mini Tahiti
Audi A4 1.8 Sport
Mazda MX-5 1.8i (NA)
Mazda MX-5 1.8iS (NA)
Vauxhall VX220
Mistubishi Carisma (for 3 months!)
Fiat Panda 100HP (my daily

There was a Citroen AX 1.0 for a couple of months too, but it was bought for her mum, and not really used regularly, can't remember if it was in her name or not though..

[anthonyyule]

I don't quite fit into this catagory, but is there a prize for the most in a time period.

6 in 6 years

I can just about match that..... 4 in 4 years

[j2 lot]

Mrs & I have been married for 22 years and have had at least one new car every year since we got married.Most in a single year was 3 cars So far this year we haven't yet bought one and at time of writing probably don't intend too

[Stephen]

13 years for me
