Onanists always think outside the box.

12 in 29 years of driving, I think I tend to keep them more than most.

Nick W

over thirty, which averages one a year ;D  And a third of them were Capris.

15, I think.. 18 if you included company cars and my first car (which was never actually in my name)

More than I thought it would be, but as I was adding them up I kept realising I'd forgotten one or two - like the utterly forgettable Peugeot estate that preceded the 2.5TD Omega estate, or the XJ40 that became a pile of donor parts  ;D

Was this the 6 litre V12?

5. Tend to buy at about a year old and keep until major components are failing, it has got too unreliable, or tin worm is winning.

I expect the Omega's demise will be due to unreliability. :(

Yep, me too, although one of those is the Westfield, which I'll be keeping.

The great thing about a simple kit car like the Westfield is that it's easy to replace the bits that drop off (or get knocked off)  ;D

Yes, and when you get bored of it, it can be re-born as something more interesting. :y

Aye, me too. The "I'll buy a cheap large cruiser for my France 2004 holiday" car lasted another 13yrs more than I intended it to.
