How many vehicles do you own?

[Gritty]

Hi all

I` ve been umming and arring about buying another bike bringing my total personal vehicles to 4.

Do i really need it all the extra expense, feeling a bit guilty really, so just curious to learn how many of you have more than one vehicle and why?

 

[oneflewover]

My A2, My Lexus SC430, Wifes Citroen Pluriel Charleston, Kona Lava Dome, Dawes 531 touring and a Brompton.

Oh, and a Triumph Vitesse that is spread between two garages and 15 boxes

 

[oneflewover]

Errrr.

You can only see 5, 4 were out of shot! And the reason? I like A2's

Has the yellow one got my name on the log book? It should have!

 

[timmus]

501000 miles.

Half a million miles in a 205 is impressive. What's the engine?

This yellow one? Are you one of its many owners?

1.7 or 1.9D? Turbo or NA? Impressive, French steel wasn't renouned for its quality. I had several Visas, not many of them left.

My guess, given the 205xld user name, is the 1.6 diesel. I used one when I was a driving instructor and put around 250,000 miles on it. Apart from the replacement clutches (!!!), it only had routine services.

No, would like to be.

Got it, I wrongly assumed you had owned it as opposed to wanting to. I believe the one in @mrbroons photo is the one I linked (for sale in Kilmarnock). I'm sure James will confirm.

I must definitely need help, 5 Peugeot 205's, Renault 14 TS, E30 BMW 323i. B5 A4 Avant 1.9TDI, B6 A4 1.9TDI, A2 TDI and the daily driver for work VW Lupo SDI. One of the 205's I have owned from new in May 1987 and covered over 501000 miles.

I think at last count it was 6 (Porsche 911 Cab, Audi UR quattro, Audi S8, 2x Mk1 Golf Gti in bits, and the A2 FSi), 1 on lease (Audi Q7 etron) and a mountain bike.

Do you own your own petrol station?

No, but I never have to remember that the A2 must use Super Unleaded because all the petrol engined vehicle need it too.

Merc E220d estate (2017), A2 1.6 FSI SE (2014), wife has a 2014 Clio however would like a sports car too (Lotus Elise) however I expect the wife will have other ideas. A relative lightweight compare to previous posts.

Just looked at the prices of Lotus Elise .......nice...........though you may have to re mortgage the house and sell the wife!!

i used to own a Series 1 Elise, if I hadn’t sold that one it would have only lost £5k in the last 20 years. The two cars I’ve owned and coveted are the Elise and A2, I’ve now got an A2 again (in process of getting it to my standard) then need to work out how to get the Elise. Your right though, remortgage or sell the wife!! I’m not sure the Elise is coming anytime soon!?

Ooh I do like the yellow one with the roof. If I had the space I too could be an A2 addict.
