How many cars does one person need? - Page 3

At my worst I owned 3 cars and 2 motorcycles. At the mo Julie and I are down to 2 cars and 3 motorcycles. This is teh lowest I've been for a long time. I do have my eye on another little soft top though. If Julie manages to sell her 4x4 we might get another.

Persoanlly there ar edifferent cras to do different tinmgs. In winter teh 4x4 is king. You can have a cartload of fun messing about in teh snow etc. Then in summer a soft top is de rigeur. A nice motorway mucnher for those long distance trips and something 'practical' for carting stuff around.

Different cars for different things but like most beckham things he must be getting something out of it.

I suppose if you have that much money and you like several different cars then your going to but them, or even get them given for the instant advertisement!

its worth it for the bpublicity that they get because it could repay the cost ten fold.

Yeah you read about it all the time dont you, its not just cars though its clothes, cosmetics etc, the rich and famous dont have to pay for much do they.

Ok we have 3 cars on our drive we have a vectra, a bmw and a escort with all the trimmings, only daddiboo drives.

The vectra is broken needs a new gasket or something like that, the bmw is about 17 years old but drives like a dream and the escort well that suits daddiboo down to the ground. I keep telling him to sell the other 2 to buy a new plasma tv to replace the one we got ripped off from tiny. He says he will when he gets round to it MEN! pha typical.

I know someone who failed her test ten times and passed on the eleventh. You've got to persevere.

Although, of course, I still wouldn't get into a car with her and I stay off the roads when I know she's out driving but the point is that she eventually passed.

People who fail this many times shouldn't be allowed on the road. There should be a rule such as three tries and you've had it. Your second sentence appears to back me up on this.
