I started with a 1931 Austin Seven( NO it wasn't new!) and had a few of my own before I went on Company cars in my twenties. For many years company policy was a new car every six months so I dare say I've had over seventy cars- all makes, all sizes.
A new car every six months sounds nice but you had to keep them like new(no supermarket car park encounters) and as I towed a caravan for many years fitting a new tow bar every six months wasn't funny either.
Now a nice big, comfy 4x4 does for me, although it broke my heart having to pay for it.
