[Vanny]

Just sort of dawned on me (while being all nostalgic like) that in 10 months and a matter of days i will have had Jazz for NINE years!! Thats a long time i tells ya!

[docchevron132]

Time to get her on the fucking road then!

I've had my valver since 2004, so only 6 years.
I've had the red car (well, bits of it!) for nearly 12 years.
The ambulance I've had for, er, 16 years, and the bus just over a year...

[Philhod]

Wow, I can't believe the Picasso is 6 years old now, mind you it's only done 51K

The BX I bought in 1996 at 3years old, so we've had that 13 years now.

Time marches on I'm afraid

[Father Ted]

Hell the longest I ever owned a car was 2 years.

[docchevron132]

I think the shortest time I ever owned a car was about 5 minutes.

[jayw]

Had mine since 2 weeks before FCS'04, saved from a deluded MI-powered Caterham project dude for the paltry sum of £50 + the £100 tax on it and ressurected in 2 weeks (and consequently near-fatally injured on-track with Vanny as co-pilot). God, seems like so long ago!

Shame that of the 5 & half years i've had it it's spent about 4 of them in the garage mothballed...

This is MY year boys

[mnde]

HNY everybody!

My GSA has done roughly 58K miles in 8 years of ownership and still going. Now over 161,000 miles on the clock.

Mark.

[charlie]

got mine in nov 2001

so thats about the same as vanderman

hmmmmmm

[mat_the_cat]

I'll have had the BX for 6 years come April, been on the road for most of that. Clocked up 87k miles in that time, and never been stranded anywhere. Not a bad record for a car that most would see as unreliable...

HNY everybody!

[docchevron132]

It's all the usual tat on the internets really mate.
Although we had a moment of funniness with Stu CDX!

Didn't call in did you yer daft cunt!

Well, I would of had H148UYD for 13 years come April, alas she's now a soup tin but, the Morris has been in the family since 1986 (erm....14 yrs nearly) and the Triumph has been in the family since 1972 ish....erm...38yrs! Kewl!

[Philhod]

Erm... moggy 24....not 14 mate....sorry!!

[Stinkwheel(Matt)]

I dont seem to have owned a BX for more than 18 months, ever. But ive had my dyane REH827W for 16 years now.

Shame its fooked.

[Bx Bandit]

well unfook it then!

Phil, are you referring to a real moggy cat type thing?

[Philhod]

I was referring to you venerable Morris my dear chap. If you've had it since 1986 it's 24 years you've had it, not 14 as quoted by your good self.

Cats are not moggies up here mate!!

Moggies are very small creatures that may, or may not, crawl around the floors and crannies of your abode.

[Aerodynamica]

Longest is the current CX at 3.5 years

I also owned both my BXs for no more than a year each - what does this mean?

Mind you, I only sold Cyril because if I didn't I'd have my bollokskis chopped off

[docchevron132]

Cyril was a cracker, best Mk1 I've seen in fooking ages.
But if you get back into BX ownership I'd say fuck it and get a valver, you only live once!

[Stinkwheel(Matt)]

That, i agree with. 3 valvers down the line. 2 of which i spent far too much money on, i dont regret a thing. And would buy another tomorrow given funds to do so.
