Too many cars?
Discussion
I only have two cars and only have one parking space but a good friend lets me leave one at his so I alternate which one I am using month to month.
Eventually I would like to move out of town and get some more space. I am bad for getting attached to things if I keep them a long time (Audi 12 years and counting). So I keep that and more recently have swapped my second car.
I think I would like a 4x4 for winter (land cruiser or patrol), sports car (elise or cayman), barge (old S class), Audi and a warm hatch (106 or similar).
The annual MOT, servicing, maintainance routine would scare me a little though as maintaining two cars seems a lot at times and the Audi hardly ever requires a thing.

Unless he's bought something else since we last spoke!
In fact I sold one!Current:
1993 Range Rover Classic 4 door
1991 Range Rover CSK (restoration job)
1989 Renault GTA V6
1996 Renault Spider
2003 Mercedes CLK270 (daily)
2001 Audi A6 Avant Quattro (family tank)
2011 Fiat 500 (wife daily)
1986 Porsche 944T (investment!!?)
I've got 6. Space is not an issue. It's only really time that puts me off getting more.
I have:
MG Midget - project car
TVR Cerbera - fun car
Jag X-Type AWD - (we live in the country with steep slopes, it's quite spritely and my wife still loves it)
Jag S-Type - (I just like it. Don't need it now I have the next car on the list, but I still like it)
Jag XF - family cars need to be powerful, right? Nowt worse than having to drive 25 miles behind some arse doing 52mph in a Volkswagen on a B-road because you're in some underpowered slug laden with family and a boot full of Costco shopping.
Ford Ranger - company commercial - good for winter / pay the BIK and use it for skip runs etc. It gets a lot of mileage. Ford should sell a petrol V8 pickup in the UK. 3.2 I5 diesel is ok but a bit too slow for my liking. The Transit engined one is dreadful.
I'd like to add:
Something mid-engined
Something with a V12 and a manual gearbox
Scoring both the above with a Miura or a Countach would be quite good.
My wife would like a Maserati Grancabrio and an X100 XKR.
