??*??? BONUS FACT ???*??
The combined value of the first five cost less than one of my bikes.

My father owns one car in his entire life a 1967 VW Beetle bought 2nd hand from my aunt. Still have it.

Me, this is my first fully paid and own by me - 2005 Toyota Corolla bought 2nd hand. Previously I had a 650cc Daihatsu that I bought 2nd hand on hired purchase that I sold off before I even paid full for it.

The answer: One.

Since I passed my test in 1979 -

Fiat 127 903cc crashed and scrapped
Mini Clubman scrapped after rear suspension came through boot floor after giving it some air. .
Vauxhall Chevette 1.3 bought for buttons. Overpaid! Scrapped
Vauxhall Astra 1.3 Did the job as cheap family car.
Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8 Likewise
Ford Mondeo 2002 1.8 Likewise.
Skoda Octavia 2012 1.4Tsi Same size as prev Mondeo (slightly wider boot). 1/3 more MPG. Smaller road tax. Noisy until tyre change. So far so good.

Yamaha 125
Honda 90
Honda 250
Honda 400 After my 400 was stolen I decided that I would go with a car for weekending duties and 24/7 usability and before I had a serious bike crash. Almost everyone has one eventually.

PS I therefore claim the prize for the most boring car list!
