Passed test in 1985 must of had 30-40 cars and about 15 bikes can't remember exactly how many. I do remember my first car after I passed my test,1967 ford transit hand painted matt black with dirty deeds done dirt cheap painted on the side, wish I still had it worth a fortune now, I paid about £200 lot of money in 1985.

So 14 cars in 7 years - S2000 was wrote off :-( and the alfa's bonet catch failed, bonet flew up, smashed sreen and dented roof, so that lasted all of about 20 mins - lost £1250 in 20 mins lol...was gutted at the time.
Clio 172 was one of the most fun!!! Most cars were owned at the same time as each other. Normally 2 or 3 at a time, after my first 3 yrs driving.
