So I've seen a lot of what cars have you owned and what did you have before pug etc... I'm interested in how long you've owned your car(s) for? An average is fine if you're like a few on here who change cars more than they change their pants...
Between me and Danny, we've had our HDi for 4 years now and has been our most reliable car! The 6' has lasted a year and a half and now up for sale (don't want to see her go!) and dannys first car, spaxo, lasted him just over a year..
Fire away!
Interested to know who's owned one for the longest!
My old dturbo was almost 4 years and its only gone from getting written off
HDi been 6 years, the rover metro 5, no plans yet to change at the min. The Hdi doesn't owe me f*ck all,
In 4 years I've had 13 cars.... That averages out as about 3.5 months each lol.
usually a year, iv had my scenic for 2 years tho and i had one escort for 4 years. lol
Got the vectra 18/11/12 ... 9-10mths.. Longest yet!
I've been driving 9 years, had 12 306s and a f*ck load of other stuff too so I reckon about a car every 3-4 months on average. I did have 6 months + without a car when I didnt let myself drive after nearly killing myself in a car crash
Had my Saab 3 years. 1.8 306 5 years
Tried to sell the Saab last year, but discovered people are only willing to pay £3.50 for one, so had to keep it.....
On average I keep cars about 6 months, had this one 10 months though
Had me nova for a 14months, my hdi for 3 years and the 6 for 2months
goes like this
106 1.1 3months
306 DT 2.5 years

longest owned car is the green turd....

Silver hdi (project) has been my longest ownership, currently on 3 years and a month. I'm fairly sure a couple on here have had theirs from new, deeturbo and c2k iirc.
Had my 306 7 years so far
longest ive owned a car was 6 years
being an astra G would of sold it after the finance had finished but it had to have an ECU so owed me
shorted time owned was a diesel Vectra which i got stung on waited till the V5 came through in my name and traded it in, didnt even transfer insurance over as it was that shit
Had the Rallye 7 and a half years and before that had a 1.4 306 for 4 years. HDI for 2 and a half years. Before the hdi I had a phase 1 td for a year.
Think I average 1 car every 9 months or so..Used to chop and change more often when I was younger but I Cant be arsed with the hassle now nowadays. I've had the van over 2 years and the Coupe for nearly a year (thats going soon though) The vans paid for itself now and I'd keep the car if I could justify a toy.
Saxo - 6 months crashed it
Diablo 5 door with 6 lump - 1.5 years still wish I had it
Ph1 dt - 6 months blew the head gasket
Ph3 astor so far 8 months I think
I have had 11 cars in my 2 years of driving and have had my current 306 for a year! Just took me a while to find my true calling
My average works out at around 7 months, but I had the Audi 3 years before I sold it and don't intend on selling it again. Had the '6 about a year and a half, the MX-5 for 10 months.
MYA - 7 yrs
Rover cabbie -3 yrs
Corsa fun toy 2 yrs
Fiesta supersport 6months as some twat wrote it off
Various other mk 1 fiestas...2 months a pop as they were cheap rotters!
Rallye is my longest. 14months of ownership. 7 of those of the road haha
Had my one and only HDi since I was 16 now, so a little over 4 years. Don't know if I'll ever be able to bin it off tbh, will be worth so little and I won't be buying anything until I can afford a substantial step up, so may as well keep a hold of it as a project. Or better yet keep it as a daily and buy a second car, as it's been bloody faultless for the time I've had it.
Shortest time iv owned a car is 45mins..... Driveing home after buying it and got hit by a van and ended up on its side.
longest is 4-5 years and that's my old vw beetle 1303
The longest I've kept a car was the sedan Tbh, nearly 6 months lol.
Had the truck tub in parts for over a year but that's made out of loads of different 306s and has already been reshelled so doesn't really count lol.
I plan to keep the rallye for a long time though, first car I've actually thought that about lol
Had my first D turbo for a year till I put it through a hedge. Then had a 205 for about 2/3 months as a fill in car. Then brought the black D turbo which I have had about 3 1/2 years. And the S16 about 1 1/2 years
