How many cars have you owned?

[v15ben]

Simple question really, just wondering who is the most illustrious car purchaser on the site.

Also, what is the best record for number of cars owned within a 12 month period?

[parrot of doom]

I've owned Evos, Scoobys, Enzos............

I've just noticed that Ben & Polly Parrot are almost neck & neck on posts. My money is on the Bird Boy to gallop into the lead.

Thinking of 1888. That's when Notts County joined the football league. Are they the oldest club in the league? Who did they play then?

Now that is a question that I have always pondered. Maybe the first team used to play the reserves

Or they just hung around for a while. (A bit like now )

[Frik]

Calling McNab and Silverback Mike!

[McNab]

Far, far too many, and most of them for two years or more.

Wish I hadn't - then I wouldn't be so goddam old !

[trevorw]

I'm only on my 4th Car since I started driving in 1993

[Ecosseman]

Currently looking for number 26 since starting driving in 1982, not bad I thought ?

[dazren]

Hmmmmmm. 6 cars in 18 years. Quite pathetic in hindsight.
