Daihatsu HiJet mini van purely for the comedy element.

I worked at a Diahatsu dealer, I used to love our 1300 van. You knew its limits in an hour, and it demanded you drive to them.

Surely they couldn't pass a crash test now ?

Strangely I have 1 car but NEED two.

A warm hatch is a good daily, but I need a Hoon/toy again soon.

[Toaster Pilot]

I only have half a car so

We have an old E36 BMW Touring which is the family bus, my wife and two small children have no respect what-so-ever for cars so I sold her Mercedes CLK and replaced with the old BM, as a rusult i dont let them anywhere near my Jag, which as such i dont really need as i almost have to make time to use her, so i am selling (but only to buy an older Jag-which the family will still not be allowed near).
Now bearing in mind that i struggle to find time for the Jag, i have just bought myself an old BMW E30 'Motorsport Edition' Convertible.

I've toyed with the idea of selling the Impreza a few times, even had it up for sale at one point. Glad it didnt sell. Don't need it but.........

Just curious. Having two cars for us comes in handy sometimes but often only one car is in use at any one time. Just wondered how many of you could probably lose one? Though we don't really need two, being a 'man' I like to have my own car!!

One of mine doesn't start and is missing a front end.

The only reason I still have it is the outstanding finance exceeds it's value!

I'd have two cars though, one fun, one practical.

Always handy to have a spare if one breaks or gets stuck in the snow, or just goes in for a service.

I don't even need the one car I have, but I'll be damned if I give up having the ability to just go for a drive for the hell of it

[MonkeyBusiness]

Two cars here and a motorbike.
I only work 5 miles away and with the amount of traveling I do I'm considering ditching one (not the bike).

Mind you, when its a tad chilly its nice to have the choice.

335d Touring not getting used all that much but when it IS needed, it's brilliant and a damn site easier to park than the other "car" our VW California.

The latter is very handy though - loads of room, can make coffee in it and watch DVDs...

I need to have a TVR in my life therefore I have to have two cars.

[richard300]

I remember an old neighbor of mine having:

2x Identical 500SL's (R107)
1x Porsche 911sc (Track car project)
1x Peugeot 205GTI Track car project)
1x SWB Land Rover with a big V8 and external Gage
1x Sierra RS Cosworth (look)3-door with a V8
1x BMW E34 540i sport with a massive supercharger and loads of power
1x BMW E32 730i V8
1x Race Rep Suzuki GSXR
1x Honda Valkerie
1x Garage full of bits to create an Ultima GTR (GTW)

As you can imagine, as neighbors we hit it off immediately!!

[7 TVR]

Two, i wish i can't get down from 5!

Need? What is this need of which you speak?

It's all about the want.

Indeed. I have 4 cars, of which none have moved for 3 days, I could easily dispense of 3 of them if need were to become the relevant verb.

[xRIEx]

I have a company Civic diesel and a 370z. I live on my own, both cars are mine.

[uuf361]

I have 2 cars and I'm on my own - certainly don't need both but like having both so will probably stay that way for a while.....

[chibbard]

I have 2 cars (Ford Kuga as the family vehicle, TVR Cerbera for rarely used fun) and a motorbike (Repsol fireblade) that i use daily. Yes, i could sell the TVR as i dont use it much but if if i sold it, it wouldnt be too long before i would start looking to replace it (christ knows what with, but i know it would cost a fair bit) therefore we are considering adding a BMW 1 series convertible. Then, we would have something for all occasions. Oh and im considering swapping the blade for either a BMW 1000rr or a Ducati Panigalle shortly. Decisions, decisions. Hahaha....

[Jimmy No Hands]

Two BMWs. Both varying wildly in age/speed only need one really

[anonymous-user]

I have a Land Rover which I use for winter and a ZX12 for summer....and a Monaro which I hardly use. Spent way to much making it go faster (it has 800hp) so can never sell it. I'll probably be buried in it.

[ewenm]

Got 3. Need 1. Seriously considering changing the 2 fun cars for something I might use a bit more.

[aizvara]

I've one car. Don't really need it, but it helps our life in a rural area with no shops. Could easily move to an urban location.

It's mostly about wanting a car and wanting to live in a quiet village. If I had more room on the drive, I'd fill it with cars.
