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? 



That many different cars out there, i want to experience them all!

Out of 42 cars i only regret selling one car, and that was my Volvo 850R just for pure comedy value.  :happy2:

Oh and im 24, and been driving just over 7 years  :grin:

Indeed, good T16S's are fetching good money and one of mine was 35000 miles from new, 1 owner, sold it abot 10 years ago for 5 grand, would be worth double that now i reckon.
Biggest regret was selling the RS2000 though, as at 61000 miles and 1 previous keeper i hate to think what that would be worth nowadays!!!, sold it to a guy in Scotland for 2600, needed a mild resto but was solid and complete and ran and drove...
