In 25 years I owned 3 cars.. a Nissan bluebird 2.0 turbo , then a supercharged lexus is200 and now the van. I had the lexus as a daily driver for over 20 years, absolutely brilliant car.
 
Been driving since 1991 so 32 years and have owned 52 cars, motorbikes and vans. I have a spreadsheet with all the registrations :whistle:

Here they all are - some were owned at the same time, shortest ownership was the Mk1 Fiesta that I owned for a week - swapped it for a car stereo and some cibie spot lights and sold it straight on, closely followed by the Astra TwinTop which I only owned for 2 weeks because I bought it, discovered the gearbox was on its last legs so sold it quick. Longest ownership was the Mk7 Fiesta at 4 years from new, closely followed by the first T6 that I had for 2.5 years.

Golf MK4owned, french lorry destroyed
Golf MK4Still own
Astra GTC Bi TurboStill own
Transporter T6 camperStill own

This is my short list, I think thats everything. Used to have an XJS as a courtesy when the BMW was in for a service... "take your time guys, no rush!" and one of the Corrollas was rear ended by a water truck who's brakes failed. Another was slammed into at the front wing by a lorry running a red light.
My first Mk4 Golf was ended on the M25, J10 by a french lorry changing lanes to get out of the run off lane... git!
Still got the replacement, which was the last MKk4 GT GTI TD PD150 in the country as the MK5 was already out, but not in the GTI version yet.
The Astra GTC is doing well... which is unexpected but welcome. Thats my work run around.
The Maxima ws my fave company car. Seriously quick motor as it was specially ordered 3.0 V6 manual as most morons drove auto's. They seriously dont know what they missed.
Used to take a mate's Honda Legend out too... that was a quick car with a cracking pull in thirdgear.
34 year span from start to end. The first Astra was in '88 or 89 I think....
