I seriously think I have a car addiction.This year 12 months I have owned an audi c6 rs6 a porsche 911 996 turbo a skoda fabia vrs a bmw z4 3.0si coupe a nissan r33 and now I have a vw mk5 r32.Along the way I have lost a small fortune not great I know.Not sure what it is but I seem to get excited getting a sale then scouring the Internet to find the next car.Once a car is found I cannot wait to get it search forums read reviews about the cars and then look forward to the collection and drive.But the buzz is short lived and I want another.Maybe I just need theropy each car has been great and I have loved them all but it must stop the madness.

I thought I was bad! I usually get the itch around 6-12 months into ownership & change at 12-18 months. Currently looking at Scoobies after 8 months in a 3 litre E92. Longest I've owned a 4 wheeler was my Vw T5 camper (3yrs), although I've owned my FireBlade for nearly 7 now & couldn't bear to part with it.

Hi bud, I used to be the same as this, pretty much changing cars once a month for the best part of two years. Luckily most of the cars were sub £3000 so that limited my losses and in alot of cases made a small profit.

At the time I had just got together with my now fiancee. I think I must have been compansating for the lack of freedom in the dating scence by swapping cars regularly instead haha.

I also found that when my yearly mileage went up alot I stopped changing as regularly as I didn't have the spare time. Perhaps try and find a new hobby or fill your time with something else?
