I don't remember seeing this before, but I thought it would be interesting to see how may cars per year people have owned since passing their test.

For me, I've owned a Micra, Starlet, Mondeo, PT Cruiser (very briefly), Elise, 318i and 330Ci since 1997. That makes 0.5 cars per year.

In my defence, I'm not counting SWMBO's cars as I rarely drive them and I did have 5 years without driving whilst in edjookashun.

I think i've had about 28 cars since passing in 1996, but I've slowed down in the last few years. Not bought a car this year at all, but had 2 motorbikes since passing my test 3 months ago.

Thirteen cars in seventeen years. I've slowed down a lot recently though, in the first five years I had seven cars.

4 cars, 10 years. So in theory 0.4 cars a year.

But I had my first car for 2 years, my second for 2 years, my third for 5 years and counting and my 4th for 3 months so it doesn't really tell the whole story.

10 cars in 22 years (although the current one has lasted 9 years so far) so 0.45 for me.

Three in three years, actually smile although it breaks down as one for three weeks, one for nine months and the current for eighteen and I reckon probably eighteen more.
