How many cars have you had?

I was just thinking about my cars (past and present) and thought I’d ask.

First car was a purple Fiesta (diesel) which was a hand me down first from my dad who gave it to my brother, who gave it to me. I traded it in (just as it hit 120k on the clock) and got £500 px for my nearly new Peugeot.

I had 2 more Peugeot 208s after that (loved them both) before trading in for an old style rounded Juke and then later (after 21 years of driving), finally being able to afford a new one (another Juke).

Starting to think I’ll need a new car again so I’m leaning back toward a Peugeot.

If you’re a driver, how many cars have you had?

I'm 53. I've had 3 cars - A Mazda, A Kia Sorrento and a Kia Picanto. I got my licence when I was 18. However I worked in a series of cities for 15 years and lived in flats without parking so did not own a car during those years.
