How many of you have more than one car?

[RobBentley]

Hi All.

So - how many of you have multiple cars? I've currently got a Passat W8 and a Freelander Sport. I need two cars due to the work I do, if one goes into the garage - I must have another. I also bought the Landie to keep the miles off the W8.

I now find myself keep eyeing up a BMW M3 as a proposition "one day when I can afford", but I've a feeling I will stuggle to justify three cars to my better half - expecially given she only has one (a VW Bora).

I couldn't sell the W8, the noise is priceless - and I've spent a bundle modifying it - and I like the Land Rover for when it snows!

Am I totally nuts? Tell me the M3 is crap and that the grass isn't greener - PLEASE!

my answer depends on what your considering for the question. you talking just mine or do the wife's count as well. Also, are they complete/running or the fixers included as well. going on the assumption that you want just mine and running. Me

 

[RobBentley]

Wifes/girlfriends living with you can be included if you like - as lets me honest chaps, we sway their decisions anyway but i'll exclude kids and other such people living in the household...

- Passat W8 (Me)
- FreeLander Sport TD4 (Me)
- Bora V5 (Girlfriend)

ive got the bora and the wifes got a golf nice and easy to work on as pretty much is the same.

you could always sell the bora give her the landie and have the passat and M3 for yourself. only thing that would put me off the M3 is all the replica 3 series that float about and the fact most owners are more, trying to find a nice non swear word here - nope cant thin of one

 

[2fast2catch]

car and bike if that counts lol

Fiat Punto mk1 GT, Fiat Punto mk2 and an Alfa Romeo GT. Probably get rid of the mk2 soon, should pay for the DTA for the Punto GT.

Been there, done that. The Landie was originally to replace the Bora but she decided she didn't like parking it - now she wants a TT 3.2 Quattro.

I used to own a second car but it majorly drained finances so now I share an Audi A3 with my wife One day we will be a 2 car family again, and I can make tuning decisions which aren't vetoed!

give her the passat then, and youll still get to drive it occasionally

get the 225 1.8t remapped and your looking around 280bhp rather than the 247 of the 3.2 plus saving in fuel. wee bit o lack when you put the foot down

 

[RobBentley]

She drove the Passat once - and hated it (too big).

The M3 is crap. You should at least get a formula 1 car or something faster.

Hi from Australia. My driveway has 2009 Subaru Impreza RS (boss's-you know, the wife)- 1994 BMW 540i (mine), 1996 Jeep Cherokee 4.0(also mine), 1979 F100 4x4 swb 351 styleside (also mine), 1969 Holden Monaro GTS V8 (also mine), 2008 GMC 2500 pickup (my work ute) and my son's 2009 Nissan Navara D40 dualcab 4x4 pickup. He's moving out soon which will free up some space and the F100 and Monaro are both for sale. Great web site and great forums.

If you'd asked last week it was my wife's Rover 400, my Land Rover Discovery (stashed on my parents' drive), technically my wife's BMW 518 but I was the one driving it 'til it blew up and my Fiesta.

This week we're down to the Rover 400, Land Rover Discovery (still stashed on my parents' drive), the BMW's gone and so has the Fiesta replaced with a '95 Honda Civic Coupe.

You have a massive collection of cars. I guess you have one for each mood!

 

[weber44idf]

hey waynne , they are more a collection ( sometimes static ) but they are cheaper than drugs , keep me out of pubs and my wife participates ( makes a lot of difference )
