14 years, what have you done?

[Don1]

2 marriages, 1 divorce.
2 dogs, 2 cats.
3 TVR's, 1 Ferrari, 1 Clio V6, 1 MX-5, 1 X5, 1 Phaeton, 2 Range Rovers, 1 Escort Cosworth, 2 911's, 1 Golf, 1 Astra, 1 Colt, 1 Leon Cupra R, 1 Megane (think that's it!)
6 houses.
6 pushbikes.
2 full-time jobs, multiple contracts.
-3 grandparents (+2 grandparents in law)
+1 brother in law.
Same waist size as then. Few nice scars though, and I'll never fight or play rugby again.

Think the best part (aside from the wife), are the amazing friends and experiences I have collected and enjoyed. All in all I'm happy with that.

I am guessing the order of the car list is chronological and relates directly to the divorce??

Mine looks similar (but not quite as exotic)

[Don1]

Ha! Just about reverse chronological....

More importantly I've met some absolutely cracking people over the last year or so, and experienced things I never thought I would.

Bring on the next 14 years

[R60EST]

The last 14 yrs , for me age 33 -47

Some highs not many lows mostly mundane but I suppose the highlights would be

Gained 3 Grand children
Moved house twice
Lost 2 Dogs due to old age , gained 2 more now 8 & 7
Earnings ( Self employed )have been up and down , low point < £10k high point > £100k
Passed my Motorcycle test , it's been a great chapter in my life
Lost count of the cars and bikes I've sold probably ave 2 per year so 28


All in all not too bad
