How many cars does one person need?
 
Apparently David Beckham has seven cars.

http://cars.msn.co.uk/fun/celebrity/

It smacks of having more money than sense to me.

I'm pretty sure that even if I had that much money I wouldn't have more than one car - or is that the girlie in me coming out?

don't see the need you just need a car that suits your own purpose to me.

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
I definately see the need for multiple cars. What if you wake up one morning and feel slightly different? It is easy to get bored with one car, but if you have multiple cars you can always use another thus lessening the boredom.
Another good reason to have multiple cars which is very relevant in accy if you live in a terraced, it annoys your neighbours! :D

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
never feel like i need another car, just to get me from a-b, they are definatly a convieniance but apart from that its just a car to me.

Romps 01-10-2005 15:21

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
Nope sorry several cars sounds good to me, tho several lots of road tax & insurance does not.
Its bad enough trying to get 'quoted happy' for one car let alone several! And when your tax is due its a right pain getting all the right docs together! But then again if I had that many cars I'd have a few bob so maybe I would have someone to do all that for me. oh blow it I'll be chauffeur driven instead.

People on my street wouldn't be too happy tho' theres a parking issue ongoing and has been for years!!

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
I would definately have more than one car, one family hatch, a sporty little number and a 4x4.

harwood red 01-10-2005 22:12

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
some would say gayle that you could compare (cost aside) having many cars to having many handbags or pairs of shoes to match your mood!! I certainly would have more than one if finances allowed it. But my little yaris has to suit me for now :)

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
I've just got my first car (Hyundai Getz), but if I had more coin, I'd certainly have more cars -nothing too flash, but I'd like a Smart car for nipping into town and parking, maybe a Astra, a Focus and maybe a people carrier of some kind to cart around my footballers! I'd get a Suburu Imprezza, a Nissan Skyline and a Mitsibishi Evolution for the boyf!

I hope you will be talking your test again soon (or I will be sending you a virtual slap). You should not give up just because you had a couple of little hiccups.

mez 02-10-2005 08:20

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
yea accymel don't give up, you will pass im sure, ive just changed my car yet again ......ive now got a fait cinqecento......just what i need a little car to get me from a....to ...b, & she does do does my little "chick-a-dee"......thats her name ........

entwisi 02-10-2005 18:03

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
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.

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
Different cars for different things but like most beckham things he must be getting something out of it.

grego 02-10-2005 18:59

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
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!

SPUGGIE J 02-10-2005 19:04

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
its worth it for the bpublicity that they get because it could repay the cost ten fold.

grego 02-10-2005 19:22

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
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.

MUMMIBOO 03-10-2005 09:44

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
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.

At least she got there in the end. Good on her for sticking with it.

pendy 04-10-2005 17:26

Re: How many cars does one person need?
 
I would have more than one car - I'd have something sensible for shopping and a TVR Griffith for fun, just for the pleasure of driving it. I have always wanted a Maserati (such a lovely deep blue) but I honestly don't think I could justify to myself spending more on a car than most people ever spend on their house.

Anyway, what makes anyone believe that David Beckham thinks? I did hear once that if he was taken over by the Devil, it would be vacant possession!
