Well, after getting rid of my 180 I had 4 cars and the longest I had any of them for was 2 months. Thats why I got another ZS. Im keeping this one for a long while!

keeping my ZS for ages. Even if I win the lottery, will still keep him. With love and tender care, the ZS will turn into a classic. Something to be proud to keep. The longset I had a car was 5 years, it got scrapped.
My grandad has his minivan for 29years, until he died.......

I have had approx 50-60 cars so far, the longest being the ZS at 5 1/2 years. Before that it varied between 1 and 2 years on average depending upon the car in question and whether I liked it or it still met the needs of the family etc.

Had an MG Maestro for 10 years but it was stored in garage for about 5 of those.
ZS is the one that I have had & used for the longest at just over 8 years.

Well ........ I'm a sad case and change them far too often. A guy at work commented the other day too. considering i've only been there for 5 months, I'm on my 3rd car.
Since being on this forum I've had - 2 ZS180 Mk2s - 1ZS180 Mk1 - a ZT-T180 - a Scenic - a Ford Focus and am now in an ST220. That's just me. My other half has had an A2 Audi - Corsa and a BMW 5 series. She's now got a KA.
Fingers crossed though - we'll be holding onto these two for a while. I've paid the DVLA a fortune transferring private plates around !!!!
