My growing fleet
Discussion
Seem to have accumulated quite a fleet over the last 2 years. Some have come and gone, but this is what I have right now. Couple are co owned. Consolidation will begin in the New Year. Here they are with oldest purchase first!
2004 Passat 1.9 TDI 130 Highline - Bought June 2013
This has been in the family since 2010 when it was purchased with 117k. It was used as a spare car, and tended to be used for continental trips. I bought it on 146k, two a big years on it is on 179k. I travel a lot, it spends half it's year in airport car parks. It is in T5 long stay right now.
It is so boring I love it. Comfy, reliable, hassle free, practical, economical, discreet. Perfect. Not worth much so will just keep it and keep putting miles on it. Some months it barely moves, others it does 2500 miles.
Can't find any pics!
2014 BMW M135i - March 2014
Bought new on one of those leases. I really like it, but won't be sorry to see it go early next year. Went a bit mad with options so isn't that cheap now! Been to Germany twice, flat out on Autobahn, round the Ring, on a track day in UK. No issues. Averaged 32mpg, still plenty of meat on tyres with 15000 on the clock. Maybe not trying hard enough.
2004 BMW M3 CSL - August 2014
My dad bought one. Shot up in value. So bought another. This has gone up a fair amount too. Still use it and enjoy it. It's on 65k, has Supersport exhaust and AP brakes and has perfect SH. Will use it a bit more when the M135i disappears.
1972 Ford Transit Mk1 Camper - November 2014
No idea why I bought. Saw it at Harrogate auctions, picked it up for a song from some remote farm in North Yorkshire. Needs a little bit of work to get on the road. Currently in my friends barn in MK.
2015 Citroen C1 - May 2015
Another stupidly cheap lease I couldn't refuse. It's actually good honest fun. Drive it flat out everywhere. Does to get used much. Currently on 1000 miles.

1967 Land Rover Series 2A - September 2015
Bought as a birthday present for myself it just popped up for sale. It is perfect. Restored 8 years ago, interesting history, perfect spec. So much fun to drive. Much more fun ahead!
