Not on the take but I think they do suspect me of being a trader.....

Not 'til I retire though

I had about 15 cars so far.. the longest was my first which was a fiat panda 1000s had it for 5 years.. ok so it stayed on the drive till my other car broke or was sold but it kept going, and still does It lives about 10 miles from me now as some kids first car. Other than that its been ever 5/6 months apart from the alfa (1 year) and the cav (2 years) that lived with me in france.. best 400 I ever spent lol.. v6 auto that just kept going even in the snow and ice of the mountains where I lived.

1st car - Pugueot 106 L reg Paid ?150 - died on the first day driving to work (40miles), head gasket blew. Lasted 1 day (this was May 08)

2nd car - Corsa 1.4 automatic S reg (?350) - bought it as it was the only local car i could find on auto trader sub ?400 which was tax'd and MOT'd had to get to work the next day. Had that for about 8 weeks (terrible car to drive)

3rd car - Y reg 1.8 Vectra - Paid ?750. (September 08) Did well and lasted me 10 months. Gave to my uncle as I bought the MG ZS

4th car (still own but not been used) - MG ZS 120+ 2002 plate - Paid ?1650. (May 09) Still own it, but its been on my drive and not moved in 5 weeks. Have no insurance on it at the mo.

5th car (current car I own and use) - Impreza WRX 2.0 turbo 51 plate (?4200) Enjoying this at the mo.

Next car......... Most likely a Impreza WRX STI or a Z4

Had my first ZR just over 2 years

Traded in for a ZS 180 and kept that just over a year

Sold that and bought the RB320, nearly 2 years on still got that with no plans to sell

Just sold the Defender after 2 and a bit years

ASBO lasted 2 track nights then blew up

Had the Touring Car bang on 1 year and so far it's never been started!

Ive been driving 10 years this month, and had 13 cars, my mk2 ZS being the 13th! had it since March, and love it! but...I'm always thinking ahead to my next car, and want something faster, not saying that the zed is slow, but always on the look out. Not quite sure what to go for, but really I should keep my ZS for another couple of years as its only just hit 49k on the clock and had a brand new inlet manifold a couple of months ago which should have cost me over a grand...but my warranty covered that!...jammy ****** eh!?
First car was a D reg pug 307, also had a couple of 205 gti's which I loved, and would have another if I ever found a nice one.
