    10 years 4 months, but I am changing it tomorrow and hope that will last me another 10 years plus.
    Stopped smoking 27/12/2007, but could start again at any time :eek:

    A grand total of 8 days. It replaced the car I have owned the longest, 4 years 4 months. Shortest about 6 months.

    2005 Jag 2.2d X Type Estate, 6 weeks
    2013 Nissan 370z, 2 months.

    Its been an expensive year....

    The 370z will probably be around for 2-3 years. Fantastic cars.

    The Jag, will probably be around for a year or less.

    About 5 1/2 years - both of them. I see no need to keep swapping cars.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    2001, left, come back, handed down, came back again.
    Volvo v40 1,8i made 2001, serviced, new battery, routine bits like brakes, new exhaust last year.
    Refuses to break, refuses to fail an MOT.
    Starts, stops, does 44-46 MPG on the motorway at 68 MPH on petrol
    I am thinking of having it shot.
