    OK, I'll bite. Bought my MGA as a collection of bits in 1981 and put it on the road in August 1983 and still have it so that's 35-37 years.

    Bought my Triumph TR7 in 1996 so nearly 23 years. Daily drivers I usually keep about 5 years, bought my current Ford Galaxy in 2014 and my wife's Fiat 500 in 2009. I've only personally owned 9 cars in the 30 years I've been driving, my TR7 was my 4th car.

    OP is full of sh*t. On a thread on Digital Spy (and maybe here too) they claimed to only be 25.

    I suspect the O/P is a MSE employee - they've started a load of threads asking banal questions designed to get a load of responses. And then rarely seem to bother engaging on the thread again.

    I have owned my current car for 174 years, may sound strange because the cars not that old and neither am I, but im sticking to my answer of 174 years.
