Easy, boring and predictable for my 11 years of car ownership:
'72 Beetle 1300
'76 Golf 2-door
Looking to upgrade to a Mk4 Golf at some point, but spending time on this forum makes me long for a Beetle again.
GTMac ·
Geez, I thought I was bad but some people out there going through some car sales. In 23 years of driving Im up to 27 cars bought and sold. Happy to say that the longest I have kept a car is my current 71 fastback which I have had for 6-7 years and its going to be buried with me 😂
Just about to get 75 HJ ute on the road and say its a keeper as well.
Once the current CX-7 is sold, time for a Mk5 GT Golf, car number 28!
