I've had close to 30 cars since I started driving in 2005.

I love the excitement of getting a new car, sometimes think I'm addicted.

Currently in possession of 5 cars and I'm always looking out for another one.

The G40 is the only car I've kept for over a year, had it almost 3 now.

I've had 2 924's, and all I can say is do it, but buy very carefully.

I'm 19 and I've had 12 cars :o and I'm now looking for the 13

iv had 39 cars in 4 years, all dailys. Looking for the 40th now.

Feel like I'm slacking, I'm only on my fourth it three years. Can't bring myself to get rid of mine though, I know no matter what I sell it for, g40, something rwd and jap etc, nothing would compare to it

I'm the same. I get bored too easy and like to change cars. Its nice having a new car. Something different.

But now I've got the Polo GTi I'm happy enough with it and is perfect for what i need. I think to keep me from changing it, i will just start to change parts like get some more sets of wheels etc.

Jord make sure you try a mk2 golf 16v before all the cheap ones get broken :thumbsup:

All the cheap ones were broken a long time ago :-(

Not all of them, bought my 16v July last year for £330 off ebay and it hasn't moved haha

Not sure whether to get an early 924 and drop an audi 5 cyl in there or get a 924S/944 with the 2.5 porsche engine and just leave it at that. Pretty sure the audi 5 pot will sound better...

Ginge that looks bang tidy for the money :thumbsup:

I'm the same, my first car i really like (it was a 205 but hey it was my first car) and that lasted years until it got t-boned by a bellend in a Subaru.

Since then I have pretty much got bored of every other car I have owned apart from the only ever car I had from brand new (Fabia 1.2 TSi Estate) but that was a replacement for a vRS i had that lunched two engines and even that had a problem with its brakes. TBH, if I hadnt felt soo let down at that point (and had I know the dealership I got both cars from would get the Skoda franchise taken off then a few months) I would have taken it to another dealership to try and get the brake issue sorted.

List (in eight years) goes;-

205 GT

Citroen ZX Volcane TD

405 Quasar

Fiat Punto (worst snot box I have ever owned)

1.4 Mk3 Golf Ryder

1.6 Polo saloon (6K)

Fabia vRS estate

Fabia 1.2 Tsi estate

1.9 SDi Polo saloon (6K2)

1.6 Polo estate

My craving for car is much worse than my record.

Since I'm now 20, I've had three cars;

Polo 6n2 1.4

Corsa 1.3 CDTi

Fabia vRS mk1

I thought I was happy with the Fabia, till I drove my Dad's Astra VXR, now I'm looking into loans to buy a Bocanegra. :lol:

Edited by Mclovin

How do some of you guys have any money for anything other than cars? :shock:

The only expensive car I've bought was my first mk2 scirocco at £750 :lol:

Ginge that looks bang tidy for the money :thumbsup:

Its a runner with mint interior but the underside does need welding. All in all much better then having an extra £400 (I have bought some parts) in the bank.

I have been driving two and a half years and I have bought 3 cars, all of which I still own lol.

Compared to you guys though, looks like am going to have to start swapping my car more often.

Mk5 Polo 1.0e

Mk3 GT coupe

Mk3 Golf GTI 8v

Mk2 Polo GT coversion

Mk3 Polo GT conversion

Mk3 Polo GT conversion

Mistubishi FTO V6 (180bhp version)

Mk3 Polo GT bready

E36 BMW 1.8iS

Volvo 950

The most Fun was the FTO, Keeping up with played with g40s was fun, sounded awsome, but i kissed a kerb at 5mph avoiding a car pulling out of a space and snapped the steering arm, mk3 polo arms are thicker :lol:, guy came over and said his apoligies and offered to pay, but I bought it for £200 so i scrapped it for more, win :thumbsup:

Theres more cars, probably so boring i cant remember :lol:

G40 next 8-)

How do some of you guys have any money for anything other than cars? :shock:

Easy...I don't.

Cars have always been the top priority when it comes to spending my money....simply because without a car I cannot function.

buy and sell is the key, the only car I've payed for out of my own money was the GT bready at £750 iirc.

It's Just about being a bit of an Arthur Daley :lol:

For example I bought the mk1 gti for £150 with no tax and test, sold the p slots off it for £140 then swapped the car for a mk2 16v with tax and test. Thrashed that around for a bit then swapped it for the mk3 vr6, hated that so sold it for £750 and bought my first scirocco. I've picked up 16v golfs for almost pennies and I've picked up polo for nothing... 3 of them infact :lol:

All about the bargains. My virtually minted E39 5 series was £200 and only needed the rear brakes sorted and a power steering leak sorted for the MOT. Ran it for 6 months until too many burnouts and reverse to firsts and rev limiter launches destroyed the autobox. Shouldn't really have removed the lockout function haha. My list in order:

Mk3 Polo 1.0 sold

Mk2 Golf 1.3 still got

Escort 1.8 TDI sold

Mk2 Polo Coupe S crashed

Mk1 Saxo VTR sold

E36 318is (not easy to insure at 18!) sold

Mk2 Saxo VTR sold

Mk2 Golf GTI 16v still got

Mk3 Astra 2.0 16v scrapped

BMW 520i still got

Mk3 Golf GTI 8v still got

MG ZR 1.8 the new daily

I've also been using a Mk3 Mondeo dizzle for the last couple of months. It's horrible but possibly one of the best handling cars I've driven.

For my next daily I want either a properly tidy Mk3 VR6 or an E36 M3 saloon. Totally different cars but both have their merits.
