my wife is going mad as a couple of her friends have remarked about my cars.she acts like hyacinth bucket at times worrying more about what people think over my happiness.
in my collection i have a mint stage 3 2wd sapph(garaged all the time).a very tidy mk1 orion ghia injection which is an everday car and a presentable mk6 escort td estate for taking the dogs to the beach,shopping,picking up things,towing etc,its so handy i couldnt sell it.she has a new bmw 120d m sport company car so we have a car for every occasion.i think 3 is enough and when i have saved a bit im going to sell the orion to buy an rs1600i.is 3 too much?my 3 are all bought and paid for and the orion and escort are taxed and mot'ed so its not like they are lying about rusting away.

 

ive got 3 lol

 

if you can afford it and have a use for all of them then i cant see the problem, and as long as your not having extra cars and compromising on other more important things.

 

i can never justify the cars ive got ever

 

but i just want them so fuk her

 

3 cars is a lot, if your a woman. Tell her you'll get rid of one of the cars, if she gets rid of 90% of her shoes.

Seems fair to me. They only have one pair of feet, and 300 shoes.

 

Have had 3 cars for last 20 years or so. One for me, one for the Missus & one to play with cant see how you can make do with less.

 

ive got ...

2wd saff cos in garage
audi a6 2.5tdi avant
vw mk4 golf 4 motion
corrado G60
rover 25
skoda pickup for carrying crossers at weekend

All on the roads apart for the cossie.....

Normaly have more cars but been good at the min...lol

 

ive got five cars if you need them y need them

 

The shoes,fake hair,nails,handbags etc etc etc is a point i have made already,she thinks i should grow up,im 30,i dont hang about at mcdonalds with any of my cars,they are for my enjoyment and she doesnt want for anything (within reason) so theres no problem as far as i can see except what 'other people think'.thats what really annoys me,other folk think you drive an old piece of shit,maybe in their eyes,but id rather drive an old car not because i have to but because i want to,most of the folk that say stuff like that own cars will be on finance anyway.

 

Its only because they aren't interested in cars.... my work mates used to have a dig at me when we had more than 3..... they don't understand..... quite frankly I can't understand why someone would want to stand in a kitchen every weekend baking buns and cakes.... each to their own...

 

fookin rich koonts bet youve all got driveways, garages off road parking etc....fookin yuppies

 

if theyre not rusty and broken in bits 3 is alright, we have the same, her new car for her and the kids, my little van and my touring fun car. ive also got a works transit but thats not mine.

 

I think I have about 10 in varous states.

my wife is the best.

 

yep to many pal,sell me the orion lol

 

how long is a piece of string ??? if u have 100 million in the bank is 10 cars unreasonable?

 

if you want 3 cars and can afford them then i dont see a problem, i love having a few toys in the garage

 

Dont get what you mean....btw do you like what I had put up yesterday for my Sierra?


Lee, dump her...plenty more out there

 

Ive got 3 i alwats get told you can only drive one at a time but i just say there spare cars for when 1 breaks

 

Tell her to stop whining or you'll go and buy something that'll really give her something to moan about.

 

I have a V6 Vectra fr every day use.
2wd Sapph I use on a weekend.
2wd Sapph Im building for a fun car.
Transit that needs welding up to be tested.
And Ive just been offered a cheap Clio 16v

They all park on the street when they are all legit. My neighbours hate me

 

nice garage - is that a concrete section garage? so no planning permission required right?

how much if you dont mind?

 

we've got a micra for nipping around in, focus estate for a bit more space and I've got a turbo cabrio for my toy

 

Threaten to buy a Capri and grow a moustache if she dont stop moaning!

 

no . thats not too many . you need a different car for all the different uses .
i have
escort cosworth (a toy)
audi a6 (to run kids, dog & wife around at the weekend)
renault clio (to keep the wife mobile)
mk2 escort ( another toy)
escort (courtsey car)
zx7r bike (another toy)
wr400 green laner (another toy)
keeping tabs on tax & mots for them all can be a pain . But i wouldnt be without any of em !

 

i have about 20 cars fuck everyone

 

Cheers fella...just gotta sort out the drive way and get the garage tiled and powered up next Got a unemployed yolkel to clear the area Ł350 inc two skips, builders did the base that was 8" steel reinforced @ Ł1950 then the 18'6x18'3 garage with a 14' door came to Ł3056

Yes your right regarding planning as its a tempory construction, but best to just double check with your local council first as some may have funny little rules in place.

 

I've got 4 at the moment

54reg Mondeo TDCi 130 Ghia X and 56reg Vectra 1.8 are the daily runners which get alternated.

L reg Volvo 460 is to pull my trailer.

P reg Rover 600 is the car I did use to pull my trailer before the MoT ran out and will be going back on the road next months when the Volvo runs out of MoT/I eventually get round to doing the work on it.

 

I've got 6 at the moment, plus 2 vans and a pick-up

 

just tell her she goes before or with one of the cars

 

i've got four all on the road, taxed and tested!

 

I have 5 and the wife hates cars lol
