Brief car history :-

C2 vts 2005-2012
Nissan pulsar gtir 2006-2011 (track car)
Seat leon tdi fr 2012-2013
Honda civic type r fn2 2013 - sold after 3 month
Bmw e81 130i m sport 2013-2014 sold after 7 month
Vw passat cc V6 4motion 3-4 weeks into owner ship.

I guess the only reason I kept the c2 for 7yr was the 5 yr finance I had plus I was running a track car, I broke the Nissan for parts and part ex the C2 for the leon,
Ran that for just over a year cashed in some shares and bought the Honda privately for a good price, we both ( wife) could not bare the honda for the day to day grind so I sold that on for a small profit and bought the bimmer for a very good price.

Just sold the bimmer to a dealer after 8k trouble free miles for what I paid for it and bought the CC v6 which I'm currently enjoying, BUT I'm already looking for what I'm gonna have next .( got a hankering for a v8)

I'm surrounded by non petrol heads who think I'm mental and throwing ££££ away but that's not the case, i got a personal loan 2 years ago for £12k enough to consolidate some old finance and buy a car (leon) .iv got £6k left to pay on the loan and a car still worth £10k-£11k and a constant hankering for something else

It's almost become a hobby,i really enjoy hunting down and stalking the next purchase .I keep saying to the wife life's to short to stick with one car.she doesn't seem to mind which is a bonus in guess. Most recent motor must have 5 doors as we've got our first child on route

Any Body else find themselves in this position?

Yes, I get bored easily and rarely keep anything longer than 6 months (although at the bottom end of the market). Lost interest in my current car already so have been browsing for a replacement
