Is 14 cars in 8 years a lot to buy?

maybe you should think about investing in property instead of 2 new cars every year, you 'may' even make some money ;)

Mate, money isn't a concern for me. TBH all the investments that i need to think about were done before i was born!

Is your wife's coupe a SIII?

I still think they are a lovely looking car but unfortunately the look fast standing still and are slow when you are moving.... my SE was not much more economical than my Zed either :surrender:

Seems a lot of cars to me, Ive only been driving 5 years and Ive had...

 

1.4 Renault Clio RT (R Reg)

2.0 Peugeot 206 GTI (V Reg)

1.8 Toyota Celica Gen 7 (53 Reg)

3.5 Nissan 350Z (04 Reg)

 

I kept the Clio and the Peugeot for less then 6 months each. The Celica Ive actually had since mid 2009 and the Zed is a month or two old :)

 

I must say however, the 206 GTI is STILL the most fun ive ever had in a car. Yes, the zed is clearly the best one there, but the 206 was much more fun to drive :) Always wanted toe 180 BHP version of the GTI as well.

The 206 was a horrible car in all its guises. Sorry to break it to you. :p

 

The best thing thing I can say about those cars was the secret compartment in the pax seat was quite clever. Everything else about them was dire. Actually, I feel a thread coming on...

I never found any secret compartment. And oh, don't get me wrong, the car was terrible, I got rid of it after breaking 3 drive shafts, a suspension strut failure and the complete failure of 3 engine mounts (meaning the engine was literally hanging out, resting solely on piped and things) but is was a lot of fun to drive as it had a large amount of horsepower (for my 2nd car bear in mind) and not too much weight. It was however ruined when things like the 1.4 Turbo corsa VXR's came out as they wiped the floor with it!

 

I do still miss driving it!
