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!! biglaugh

Got a Z4 and a 5 Series, absolutely no need whatsoever for the Z4 now, the 5 Series is used for almost everything in this weather.

The Z4 is too much fun to let go though smile

Got the SL500 and a Mitsi Colt. We could lose the Merc easily as it goes out on high days and holidays.

Trying to add a 540i E34...


Bit of a trend here!

Need? What is this need of which you speak?

It's all about the want.

I have 3 cars but arguably don't need any of them as I don't drive to work and live on my own!..but if anything I will be getting another rather than selling any!

Need 2, and have needed 3 in the past when one is broken. Have 4. Better safe than sorry.

I've got an ancient ibiza running on veggie oil for work duties, and a recently bought e46 330i for weekends, I keep getting a weird feeling of guilt

I need one, SWMBO needs one.

We have 4 and if I had space more would be appropriate.

I went through a period of owning two cars. It was quite handy when one was in the garage, as I could just use the other one to go to work. One was the company car and the other was my fun car. The fun cr was a pajero and was actually quite practical in the snow smile

Dont have two now, but hopefully that will change when we get a new house with a bit of space.

I could and should lose one, but the other half demands to have the car when I want to use it. However if I'm not using it just seems to stay on the driveway all day. Wierd.

I've got an Integra Type R & a VX220. Vary rarely do we need two cars, but I could never bring myself to sell the Teg.

Currently have 5 (the joys of snottering!) but could easily survive with one.

MX-5 for summer fun.
CR-V for general lugging stuff about and better snow patrols.
Golf GTI for work and general "don't care where I park it" hacking about.
BMW which will probably replace the golf soon.
Daihatsu HiJet mini van purely for the comedy element.
