A comment on fireplaces thread got me thinking.

How many cars have you owned (company cars dint rwally count as you have to change them every si often).

I have owned 5 cars so far.

My first was a citron ax, bought for me by some money my nan had saved up.

My second was my dad's old Renault 21. It was a rank but I loved it....until I ripped the front bumper off and my dad fixed it on with bolts, making it look like frankensteins monster's car!!!

My third was my mum's old corsa which I had to buy off her.

My fourth was a seat Leon which was an ex company car so quite high spec....i crashed it on Christmas eve 2012

My father and current car us a mazda 3. Rather nice car if i say so myself lol

How bizarre I was chatting to a customer today about this as he said he had owed 54 cars in a 12 year period where I had only had 4 in that time

Two: Ford Cortina and Ford Cabriolet. My husband lost his licence and I ended up with his Pasat. I passed my test in 1986 and driven crappie second hand cars. My daughters passed their test two years ago and are on their second new Suzuki's...courtesy of dad who, when we were married didn't see the point of new cars so we never had one, yet he's bought four for the girls...but I digress...
