Sitting out front we my 2007 Merc CLS63...



..and my other half's 2006 Merc SL350.



Down the side of the house I park my 2003 E320 CDI, which is the sensible family tank.



Then hidden at the back of the place is my 2010 Twingo 133 Gordini.





I have a 2006 Megane 225 stored in the garage but not on the driveway so to speak.

I've just gone from 280bhp to 110bhp and I'm happy. I can take out three seats and it's practical for my hobbies.
It's also the model that can handle rough lands.

Kinda wierd looking picture because i used the pano mode on my phone to take it. The M135i is my wife's idea of a sensible commuting car and the Z4 is so i can get my mid life crisis started early.

Some gravel, some weeds. a rather dirty E class estate, a 595 Abarth and a Gallardo, well thats in the garage but will be on my drive in 10 mins when I take it out for a spin. Depending of course on if the DHL guy that has locked himself out of his van 2 hrs ago is still waiting on a spare set of keys coming from somewhere.

Honda 1.5 (S Reg) - It was cheap. Now has a full MOT so I want to shift it along to make way for another 2.0 Picasso.

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDI - Picked up last night. Again, cheap as chips to run. Ideal for the missus. Low tax and insurance.

On the drive;
2016 Golf GTD - Company car, great as a daily, averages about 50mpg and goes well enough and has all the toys I want. not sure I'd pay over £28k for one though. has to go back in August and think i'll probably buy a diesel Alfa GT to replace it or maybe a D5 S60

2016 1.3 CDTi Corsa - Girlfriend's company car, doesn't feel like the steering wheel is connected to the wheels and also feels as though it may topple over. surprisingly refined though for such a car

In the garage;
2006 Maserati Gransport - Bought it as a daily about 4 years ago but the bills and gearbox soon took the shine off that idea, now used for about 3-4k per year and I absolutely love it again, can't think what I'd ever replace it with, nothing I like anywhere near as much is within my financial reach

How do you guys with over 4 cars keep up with insurance, servicing and MOT's?

And do you run fleet policies or similar?

No driveway here just an allocated space in a private car park plus a few rented garages & street parking.

At present there are 9 cars in the household, I think 5 are currently on the road, 3 in garages & 1 project in the allocated car parking space.

The way I see it, the point of having multiple cars is so that you have multiple choices for the drive to work, cars for different times of year, cars for all sorts of strange circumstances, ones that get used, ones that are practically ornaments and others that are in hundreds of bits.

I have a multi-car policy for *most* of the cars; the DeLorean is a classic, so it has its own and the bike, the same. Not all are taxed the whole year (SORN and monthly for the infrequently used items) and everything is serviced and MOT'd on time. I use.. a calendar. :P

2016 Vauxhall Viva SL (daily)
2016 Mustang GT (supposed to be daily... now a toy... due to crappy weather)
2008 Audi S5 (Wife's car)
2005 Monaro VXR (garaged, SORN'd, never used)
1981 DeLorean (under restoration)
2001 Honda CBR 600F (um.. bike)
