    What's the longest you've owned a car for?

    Only dawned on me today mine has been in my possession for nearly 10 years. That's pretty epic.
    Next one down was nearly 7 years, and everything after that has ranged from a week to a year.
    One dog goes one way and the other goes the other.
    And this guy's saying, "Whaddya want from me?"

    Re: What's the longest you've owned a car for?

    Four years.....it was a Peugeot 406 2.0td, it never let me down...just annual service and it was bullit proof...sold it with 180k on the clock and it's still going to this day (sold it 5 years ago).

    Had the Zafira 10 months and counting.
    Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games.

    Piffe, Lugy's the only one with any sense here. In 12 years of driving, I've never MOT'd a car more than once. Most cars didn't even make it to ONE mot lol.

    No longer The Pheonix

    Re: What's the longest you've owned a car for?

    Mine would be the Astra at four and a half years to count. Also the Corsa but that's technically the wife's car. We purchased that in 2001 at a year old.
    Please ensure all events queries are pm'd in my direction. Please be patient and i will get back to you very soon.
