Speaking to a mate yesterday who has just replaced his car after nearly 17 years got me thinking.
He and I passed our tests about a month apart in 1995 and that (Ford Mondeo) is only his second car ever having had a Corsa as his first car.
I then thought about the cars I have had in the same time frame.
Here's my list;
Ford Fiesta XR2i on a G reg was first
Ford Sierra Sapphire on a J reg
Ford Escort Ghia on a M reg
Vauxhall Astra SXi on a T reg (this eventually became a project car with a 3.0 V6 dropped in, only got rid last month)
BMW M3 E46 on a 55 reg (lasted 6 months)
BMW 325 E92 Coupe on a 57 reg
Alfa GT on a 55 plate (never again)
Mercedes A220 AMG on a 14 reg
And currently a Mercedes C43 AMG I got last year.

So 10 cars in the same time he has had 2...

What's your list?
 
Austin 1100
Opel Kadet
Triumph Dolomite
Toyota Celica
Toyota Corolla
Bmw 316
Volvo 360 (1995)
Bmw 320
Bmw 316
Bmw 318

10 in 39 years

Honda SS50 1976
Kawasaki 250 1977 completes my list
