I live on Providenciales, in the Turks & Caicos Islands, in the Caribbean just below the Bahama’s. I also have a home in the foothills of Georgia which is a complete change to island life. Coming from the UK 345 days of sunshine a year was very attractive. I retired at 52 and now spend about three – four months of the year in the USA and Canada. I purchased my first Aston Martin DB7 Vantage blind last week. Stupid? I guess that sometimes I have a gut feeling and go with it. Any way this car came with about 64 Car Fax data entries. It was owned by the last of its three owners for 13 years and lived cossetted in an air condition garage. It was a warranted 21,000 miles on the clock. Yes, I must be nuts taking it to the Caribbean, but it must be worth more than I paid for it if broken for parts! It will be kept in cossetted surroundings airconditioned. I drive a Lamborghini Gallardo LP2 550 in Georgia, I have a little Mercedes SLK 300 for the wife, and a Nissan Amarda for towing. On island I have a Landcruiser and Nissan Patrol for heavy work. I am an avid motorcyclist, I run a Yamaha Super Tenere on the island, and I have a Yamaha FJR1300, a BMW RT and Triumph Tiger in Georgia. My last bike trip that I did on my own took me from Ellijay Georgia to Prince Edward Island in Canada, some 23 days riding 6,000 miles, 20 hotels and five ferry journeys.

Post by subject.

If it is about your fleet as a whole there is a Readers' Cars section. If it is about a specific car experience or model there are sections for all major marques.
Best bet is to scroll down through the index, read some posts and see what interests you.

I'm 52, I have no plan to retire. I live North of Liverpool in a middle class suburb, on the coast. I go to the beach most weeks.
I recently swapped a car for another car.

I wish I lived near the coast.

1) are you looking to adopt a 41 yr old man-child?

2) I live by the coast, in Sussex, which is lovely but I can get everywhere I need to on foot and the big car gets driven once a fortnight, the XK8 maybe 25 miles driven since April..

As the other bloke said, dude you've won.
