Current daily ALFA is 12 and 111,800 miles.
Later next year I'm hoping to change to an early Jag XK, so probably 17 or so.
Then eventually finish the Lotus and use that, so that's about 30 years old (and 32k)

Why?
He's got to be on a wind up - the car in the profile picture is a filthy dirty Fiat Stilo and in the garage section he's got a Bora.
Indeed a wind up. Although I no longer own either of those and now only use my company caR

33 years old Mercedes 500 SEL with 132,000 miles is my current daily, but has only been so for a few months.

About to get a brand new lease car with probably less then 50 miles on the clock, should be a week today.

Car (BMW E36) is 21 years old, 65k miles. Bought this year to replace a 10 year old, 72k-mile Seat Leon TDI.

Don't drive daily, so I ride one of my bikes instead. They are 20, 14 and 5 years old.
