length of ownership

[billewizz]

i was wondering about the long term ownership of our toys, after passing my test and running an sr for 9 months visited the motorshow when the gte came out in 88 and had to have a bit of that so purchased a new gte from Dixons in hull, there was only me and a driving school in scunny with gtes as everyone was into 205 gti back then. 89000 miles and all wrapped up in a shipping container all original except for wheels. are there any other long term owners out there?

[mowgli]

i've owned the running gear from an 88 gte for 21 years, and its still going strong....

my current nova was bought in apr 2000 & i had stuck a note thru the owners door 2 years before that.

[amggsi]

I've always had a Nova since I passed mt test in 2000, longest one I own currently was bought in 2005.
Always been a Nova of some description at the house since 1984!

[pikey1986]

true, theirs not that much left to do, a couple of holes to weld up, seat rails to weld in, engine in + wire up, mount a seat and bolt everything back on, it will then be very nearly mot time :)

[Benn]

Had my SR since @86

86???? Really?




Had mine since 2002... Or 10 years this year...

[MK999]

Royston is the original, or very nearly original owner of his SR iirc? Bought it new or only a couple years old :d

[Benn]

Wow that's very cool, all tho. How old is he? haha Didn't look that old but must be.

[MK999]

Pretty sure he's still 21, but you just dropped yourself in it lol

[Benn]

21? Is that like women years? Or dog?

[brainsnova]

I was 4 when Royston got his lol

[Royston]

Wow that's very cool, all tho. How old is he? haha Didn't look that old but must be.

Where did it go???:eek:

[Bubba]

mine ive had 4years now i think...3 of which its been off the road lol and 3 months it spent at drapers

[Novasport]

The longest I have had a car is 7 years and that is the Astra 888. Nova wise was the Sport shell which was about 5-6 years and I never drove it :(

[phazer]

Had mine since September 97...14 1/2 years...ooof

[brainsnova]

You've never driven it????

[Jack]

GT4 is over 7 years now. The saloon I bought in 2006 I think, so coming up to 6 years.

I don't tend to chop and change my cars much (lol), as I just buy something to fill my requirement which doesn't really change much. No point selling the Celica as its not worth much but still does exactly what I need it to do, and I'd only want to replace it with something more expensive.

[TeddyThom]

Had my SR since @86
Fcuk me!

Just to make you feel that bit older, I was born in 86 lmfao

[Danny s-p]

Why thank you Sir:d

45lol your old enough to be my dad your 5 years younger than him dose that make you fell old ryston

[Novasport]

You've never driven it????

I bought the shell as a half built car in 2004 and picked it up on the back of a wagon. It was stripped then dipped, pained and partially built. It stayed that way until Edd bought it off me so it never saw the road apart from on a trailer :(

[Mike]

[brainsnova]
