Was going through some photos earlier on for another forum, so thought i might as well post them up on here as well.

Hope you enjoy them as much as i have :D

Dont think ive regretted a single one of them tbh, each car had its own merits!!

:race:
 
Bloody hell, that's some history.

You must constantly be looking for the next car, about one every 6 months?

Have you never fancied a Vee?

Is the 106 pic in Cirencester, building looks familiar.

Dave - Replace the pic of the Z3M Roadster with the one with you in it, you know the one with the smug look on your face, it cracks me up as I would have not pictured you like that lol
 
  DC2 TypeR / E36 328i
It's a cool collection Dave, you've had some good motors.

Ever taken finance out or anything? Any regrets? Teach me Obi Wan

You're like me, only worse lol. I generally keep them around a year, usually through no fault of the car, its good to experience different things from each. My girlfriend can't believe I've stayed with her almost 10 years without chopping her in haha.

I do love the theme. French, German, French German, French. I know exactly why too as I've done the same lol.

Quite like that 328, that must have been good at 22. Like cliotoby, only with a pair of testicles.

You've had FWD, RWD, 4WD but I don't see anything mid engined...

​Nice cars though.

Think I was going through them roughly every 3 months at one point. Was doing mega miles, so buy, put 10k on it, sell resulted in minimal losses. The cars ive kept the longest (ShedTrophy, M3, R32) are the only ones ive really lost any money on thankfully.

I have, but the cost is daft, far better things out there for the money the 255's command imho.

Picture was Pittville Pump Room car park in Cheltenham iirc, I lived around the corner at the time!

No chance lol, people can search for that sh1t :clown:

Why thank you, you liked the 320d the best iirc ;)

Always financed, fiesta was bank of M&D, as was the Z3M. Then the 1st 182 was £14k from Tesco's over 5 years (never again, bundled in a load of student debt as well lol), then when I paid that off I got another one to buy the 1st Trophy (£7k I think), then asked for some more £££'s for the M3. Got a couple of grand left now I think - about the value of the Mini basically. Think ive been paying circa £250 a month for the past 8 years, which is fine.

Ha ha, my girlfriend thinks the same (8.5 years), was a time when she literally didn't know what id be driving from one month to the next lol. French for fun, German for sensible - seems to work ok! Mid-engine will happen at some point, not sure when though. House priority now.

I just had a list of realistic cars that I wanted to own by 30, have done them all now. Missed out on the e30 M3 at 22 though, bought the 328i Sport instead. Now they're too blooming expensive!!!

I thought you had more than this tbh. Im 27 and had 21 cars.

Think ive had 6 or 7 other 1*2's but I don't count them as they just get fed to Budgie lol.

So how many times have you spent £80 getting the private plate swapped over? :p

Well ive had it since I was 21, hasn't been on every car since then, but will have spent £1500+ easily.

I seem to be following that pattern at the moment too!

I'll be back at some point.

Nice collection of cars Dave :)

I don't know how you do it though, I find changing cars a hassle with insurance etc so only had four cars in 12 years.
