Uhhh. No space to start yet, no funds, yet feel I have some kind of duty to collect cars before it's too late.

How do I quench my thirst? *grits teeth*

"Clench" your thirst? Give it a squeeze perhaps? If you want to quench it however, either drink some water or buy a car you want to keep! wink

It is a bit late, mind!

And we've had a few. I'm still bitter than even with a large garden and driveway, we've still managed to lose a sierra, ax gt, mk2 transit v6 lwb, bx's... All of which I'd have happily kept, and the transit is worth a bit now, even as a prop

We're up to six now and tomorrow we're removing the decking to make way for them!

Any local farmers? Ask them if they have a barn they might rent to you, then go mad on eBay.

We've a saab 9000 that's been in the family for 10 years. It's not a turbo, just a CSE, so isn't worth much. Some cars just missed the boat

None of ours are special, we're just sentimental softies. Although I've had the 1.3 16 years this year, longer than I've known my wife - and she insisted it was her wedding car, was the first car she drove after passing test etc. My 900 is my 'realistic' dream car.
Plus I get silly kick out of peoples reaction to 6 cars between 2 people.

My friends uncle owns delivery mileage Subaru's, RS2000, etc. And yep, they own a farm.

There's a morris minor traveller parked up locally but I don't have the means to even attempt a restoration yet, or anywhere to dry store it. And neither do I have the savings to go buying cars!

I worry that in 5 years when things have settled, I'll struggle to purchase a lot of things I can get for £300 now, but I guess that's just how it goes

My grandad has a 12k kia picanto. It'll never be worth anything but feel if it's his last car we should keep it.

After buying my first house last year with ample room for 5-6 cars i have started a car collection by mistake.

Bought a Gen 6 Celica GT4 as a daily driver for the first year and long term project
a month later i bought a Gen 7 Celica that needed an engine and was going to be sold on (have decided to keep)
Last week bought a Gen 6 Celica GT because it was going cheap and i have decided it will be used as a track car.

Currently on a look out for a non turbo supra for the summer when the GT4 gets stripped down.

As you can tell im daft about 90s - 00s toyotas and feel its my duty to give them a good home. I am also making up for lost time after staying at my parents and have no off road parking for projects.

I still have my late grandads Metro, basically took it to the in laws who live on a farm, they suggested it and then went mental, it caused a load of ageo when it made a bit of a mess, its sat there ever since in a barn.

Thing is, if you keep all these cars of people who pass away, you will end up with a field full of mouldering old relics that arent worth anything, keep some keepsakes obviously but cars are too big to have hanging round.
