    I would say I have missed a few here and there, I used to chop and change quite regularly, they seem to hang around longer now.

    Quick count leaves me at 38 cars over 25 years, but with lots of overlap where I had several at one point in time

    Think I'm pretty much on 20 over about 20 years.


    Several diesel golfs and petrol Corollas. With 1 golf gti. (7 total)

    2 audis A4 and current A5.

    3 BMWs 330d 520d 520d

    A clio, a polo, an insignia, a Leon, a legacy, a passat, a kuga and a Vito.


    I've also had a myriad of other commercials from companies but never for more than couple months. Mainly caddys, golfs, focus, connects and even a Toureag.

    Wife has had 5 cars that are usually the family car, but not counting them.


    Favourites A5 3.0tdi, the 330d and the gti.

    Worst the insignia and the kuga.

    Wow that's quite the list. Lots of Corrado's but didn't keep any.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 761 ✭✭✭GSBellew


    Not keeping one of them is one of my big regrets, they were at their lowest price wise then I was picking them up, should have held on to one, things were tight back in 2009 when I sold the last one & by the time I went looking again prices were way up, still should have bought one to keep.
