She reminded me about my other car,i bought a old y reg escort ghia for parts for the orion,the fact i paid 80 for it and when i have sold all the bits ill make back about 250 doesnt count.now that i have thought about it i might sell the escort and orion and buy a mk3 rs or xr or a s2 so i have something with a hatchback for taking the dogs out.it started when i got a job on the oil rigs.i went away with the escort and left it in the works yard for 2 weeks,when i got back she complained she had nothing to take the dogs out in which was a fair point,so i bought the orion and now she moans we have too many.so if i buy an escort rs and sell the estate and orion ill be happy and she will have to walk to the beach when im away.then when she moans i can tell her its her problem.

I think the most we've ever had in the household at any one time was about 7.
We recently sold one car bringing the total down to 5, but there is another one arriving in the next month (hopefully).
So there will be a 993 Turbo, Leon Cupra R, Impreza WR1, Citroen C4 VTS, Honda Accord & the new Focus RS.
A lot of people think thats too much, but when you compare it to Jay Leno, or the Sultan of Brunei its nothing.

We've got 3, My Jimny, Her ST170 and my Pug but she doesn't mind me having them as it stops me fooking about with the focus she only moans when i've been off road and nick the focus until i've cleaned mine.
Takes A LOT of self control to not buy more.

Don't worry about it mate, women aren't happy unless they're moaning so you're doing her a favour. I think they must have special classes for it at school.
I don't think 3 cars is too much, I've only got two of my own at the moment but have regularly had 3 or more at once in the past, plus bikes as well.

I'm on the verge of trimming my fleet down further.
Taxing them all to sit about pisses me right off.
Currently own
FRST
ERST
Zetec'd Bonus
'Charged Mk1 Feista
Puma.
Recently bent my Mk3 Mondeo Ghia x.
I want it down to 3 by next winter. Finding safe parking and paying for them to sit about really bugs me, but i KNOW i will really miss some of them.

No it's not!!!!
I know the feeling, i get told "you don't need another car" I know i don't NEED it, i want it, there is a difference, otherwise i'd only have one!!!!
Seriously though, i don't see the problem as long as they all run and your not one of those folk who has 3 cars in their driveway on bricks.
She has a Ka, i've got my new mazda as a run about, and a moondust saph also, I really want an S1 of some description (turbo/1600i) just have to "pick" the right moment. I did have 5 at one point though. Lol

But then again its ok if everything you own is paid off.
If you have a mortgage and debts etc then i can see her point but if your all piad off and debt free then why not.

3 cars is the right amount - there is no limit to the number of bikes one can have as they are all for different things. the sports bike, the tourer, the supermoto, the off roader etc, etc
