18 months of driving...

Puegot 106. (99)
VW POLO 6N2 (01)
Cliospot 182 replica (03)
Hyundai coupe (04)
Peugot 306 XSI (98)
Seat Arosa (01)
Vauxhall Corsa SRi (04)
Mk5 Golf GT (05) *


*current.

Quite scary when I look at it like that :/

All purchased, modded and sold on with the exception of the XSI which I flooded :(

Favorite has to be the 6n2 but I'm hoping the current mk5 will soon become the favorite after the mods start :)

My record isn't very inspiring or exciting...

First car, k series Nissan Micra (similar performance to a shopping trolley)

Moving on up, Clio 1.2Tce Dynamique (similar performance to 1.6 non-bluemotion TDI mk6 Golf)

Getting what I really wanted, mk6 Golf GTi (current motor and loving it)

...not been driving that long, and moved from the Micra to the GTi in less than a year having had the Micra for 3 years.

I'm struggling to understand why some people have had so many cars :confused:  Seriously, why have you had 20-30+ cars in your driving history? Is it boredom? Not being able to find a car you like? Using it as a status symbol as if to say "look at me, I've got another new car"?  Or something else?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm quite satisfied with only being on my fifth car in 18 years.  So what is it that drives you to change cars so often?

For me every car drives different and everyone is a car i have wanted to own slash drive think i had 5 clio sports last year  :signLOL: i even had a rover  :signLOL: it was silly silly cheap ie under £200 with tax a test so why not save a few miles on my other cars  :signLOL:.I think my golf is longest daily driver i have ever owned other than my old VW Beetles that i had for over 10 years before selling it. I enjoy cars everything about them and sometimes even bought them just as i need a bigger car for something  :signLOL: and for me cars are for owning and driving and if i can drive or own as many as possible then i will do it  :driver:

I have had a fair few, and as above just enjoy them, as for status symbol? Give over, I don't think cars are a status symbol anymore with pcp deals.

Depends if it's a brand new SL63 like someone down my road just bought, feckin' gorgeous motor - they also have a Mk6 Golf GTI too and Mk5 before that (no doubt a Mk7 some time soon), so not in bad company. :signLOL:

Give over? I was only asking a question that I was struggling to understand the answer to and was looking for some explanation from people that could give me the answer.  No need to answer in that tone :confused:.  I actually think PCP increases the chance of people using their car as a status symbol because it makes a nice car more achievable.

I just think cars as a status symbol are a thing of the past, more nice cars on the road today than 10 years ago, and I little offensive to ask that question tbh, if you like cars you buy em, a car enthusiast wouldn't care what others think.

No offence was meant, I would just like to know why people have felt the need to own so many cars.  So far the only answer given is for the enjoyment factor which is fair enough.  I enjoy the car I've got so I'm keeping it. Others obviously think differently and I was just trying to get my head round the frequent changes of car.  If you enjoy driving/modifying a particular car, why change it?
