Why just cars?

Only got 2 cars, but three motorbikes and a big van converted to a horsebox.

Three between the two of us, but one of them hasn't worked for about five years.

As i can't be arsed typing road legal transportation device with seating for one or more person ten times.

If you can go shopping in it it counts as a car.

So we have 2 car shaped cars
1 landrover shaped car
1 caterham shaped car
1 unimog shaped car (not sure if you can go shopping in this as it hasn't got a boot)

5 cars.

I need to get off my bum and probably sell 2 of them, but I can't be bothered with the mongs they will attract. frown

There must be something about me. Every time I sell a car, either the entire asian sub continent turns up to view it and try and browbeat me, family style, on an already very reasonable price, or everyone within a 100 mile radius with a neck tattoo and a Ritalin repeat prescription decides mine is the motor they want.

If WBAC were a bit more reasonable, they'd be getting a call.

Only one in my household but when we go to my mother's it's not unusual for there to be seven parked up outside overnight. Oh, and a bike.

Mine, brother's, sister's, other sister's, mother's, brother-in-law's, brother's fiancee's, brother-in-law's bike. When my old man was around, his van too... and often a tractor. 7 cars, a bike, a van and a tractor.
