Default Ok....I have issues!
Well, some of you know i have a few cars, but this takes the biscuit a bit, 2 cars in as many weeks purchased and none sold, i think I have 8 or 9 now. Yes I am genuinley loosing track now!

This is latest, it was in good nick and cheap, i know it's not got a good reputation, it is a work horse for me while I get the track car running.

Think I need to see the doctor.

We bought my father in law one of those. It was on a X plate as well.

Decent car for the money. He never had any trouble with it.

There was something quite charming about the 4.0 rumble.

Eight or nine cars does seem like a lot.

When you're done with this one, I might be interested. Reckon they'd be a good green lane machine.

I thought I was bad enough in 1975, when I had a total of 9 cars, but not all at the same time. I still have the reputation as someone who keeps changing cars despite the fact I've had this Scoob for 10 years and the STi before that for 5.

You'll never live it down

Just as well si, it probably used about £8 of fuel doing that. I remember my grand Cherokee I had leased for 2 years, it was crippling on fuel. The computer used to sit at 12.7 mpg no matter where or how I drove it. They are good cars though.
