No more classics (or cars with pretensions thereof)

RichardK ( snipped-for-privacy@NOSPAMbtconnect.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Weeks. Not months.

And I thought I was bad with car #50!

In news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com, Chris Bolus wrote something quite bizarre, possibly in an effort to confuddle the world. It went like so;

I've actually lost count of the number of cars I've owned.

I did a website (last updated a year ago) where I tried to remember all my old cars, but lost track.

Yeah, but aren't you a tad older than me ;)

Richard

Don't know, I'm 44, how's that compare?

I'm a mere, sparkling[1] example of a 35 year old... so you're not *that* much younger...

You, on the other hand, don't want to enter this competition :-p

Enough time for me to do it all over again ;)

Richard

Yes, but by past rates, 5 years is enough for me to manage another 40 cars at least. I think you've enjoyed far more interesting machinery, especially in terms of ownership - I should have kept a log of everything I've driven :D (still no rear-engined Porsches though, despite having a mate who owned a bright pink one, and the famous black £500 '89 Cabrio I was offered with a 'faulty heater'...)

Not that I intend to - I'm not counting cars I bought specifically to sell (except I think one Fiesta snuck in there because I ended up driving it for ages, and I didn't count the Porsche 924S in my spreadsheet because it used to be my mums - even though I had it for 6 months, whilst selling it, it was still 'hers').

It'll be nice just having two cars. Nice and simple. Also, I reckon I'll save enough in terms of fuel for messing around with old cars, money lost, little bits of cash here and there, to give the Sera the Kenwood DDX-8027 (or 6027) head unit I want.

Richard

Ah yes, but I'm accelerating - 23 of those cars have been in the last 5 years!
