Ive only ever owned three cars that cost over a grand.
Im quite proud of that small fact.

That's what I said.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Yeah, but only you knew that you have owned 30 cars. 

Actually, I lied. It was 4 not 3. Forgot about the tedious Sierra I paid £3500 for.

I have owned some real shitters.
Some of the others didn't run/drive......

[Doctor Gollum]

15 of the 31 (that I can remember) cost over a grand*, but of the 16 others that didn't, the last five cars average out at about £475 and the other eleven averaged £397

*These averaged out at £7,600

In my defence, only one didn't have an MoT when I bought it and I have owned more Omegas than Granadas

[Nick W]

I've only owned three times as many Granadas as Omegas.


I never did get to own the Coupe I wanted. Still do, but it would need to be a nice one before I found a mk2 subframe and a BOA. So none of that is ever going to happen.

[Doctor Gollum]

Certainly not for less than a grand

[Nick W]

Certainly not for less than a grand

missed a reasonable one, with long MOT for £500.

That recently...

The mighty Signum cost a mere £2400 6 years ago. Best car I have ever owned.

.......dare I say it. A better car than the Omega.

Are you proud of the fact you have spent over a grand on a 3 inch long baby tortoise?....

The tortoise will grow.


Cars tend to lose mass. And consequently value

This is another way of saying it will eat more, cost more, and shit more.

Tortoise's can live for over a hundred years .... how many modern cars will last even half that ??  Good investment IMHO ...

Strange though it may sound, yes. Its a lovely little character and for some reason makes both swmbo and I happy. I really am getting old. 
This particular version should live for around 50 years, which is a problem, as we wont.
