I heard from my Dad yesterday that they'd bought a new car, and it got me thinking, I wonder how many I've owned. Well a few minutes with a spreadsheet and I had a list. Then I had to go back to it a half dozen times to add additional ones I'd forgotten. This'll give you some insights into my twisted personality... :lol:

Go ahead. Compile a list of your own. Reveal your automotive personality to us! I found it to be a good bit of fun thinking about the things I'd done and places I'd been in all the vehicles. There are some pretty interesting (at least to me :roll: ) stories that go with some of them.
And if you're interested in taking one of the Series 1 trucks off the list, just let me know...!
cheers, Dave

35 vehicles, and how old are you? Haha. :lol:
1968 Dodge Dart Slant 6 - First car - Sold for a profit after many youthful adventures.
1988 Volkswagen Fox Wagon - A much more practical car than Dart. Took me to the parts store to repair the Dart.
1983 Volkswagen GTI - The most enjoyable car I have ever owned. Regret selling...
1988 Nissan Multi AWD - Used extensively for skiing transit. Gift from my Uncle. Handled many "offroad" adventures. Electrical issues and rust made me junk it.
1984 Volkswagen GLI Coupe - Bought for pennies, and never driven. Sold for profit.
1978 Volkswagen Rabbit - Gas-mizer, and reliable.
1968 Land Rover SIIA 88" - First and only Land Rover owned. "Poor student" restoration. Sold to Land Rover friend.
1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Turbo Diesel - Gift, and parted out.
1976 Scirocco - Bought for pennies, and sold for a profit. Driven sparingly.
2002 Volkswagen Golf TDI - Still own - School transportation.
I guess I am not much better than you Dave. 21 years, 10 cars. Or five years driving, 10 cars?
Yikes...

Owned..
Wow, a lot of VW's
I've had far fewer but I still have time....
Oldsmobile "Omega" ... early 80's? Owned it for a day, but brought I't back to the (reputable) dealer the next day after the floor fell out from rust!! and they took it back!!
1982 Toyota tercel.... Best car ever, sold it after 7 years for 500$ its still on the road around Vancouver. I miss it.
1988 Suzuki Samurai hard top...Awsomeness. just like a "Japanese Series landrover"
slow and noisy and awsome off road I sold it for 1000$ plust some work on the defender. I miss it too.
1962 Toyota publica... was a gift, a restoration project, but I didn't have a garage and since there are like 2 in north america, parts were rather scarce. I re-gifted it. Perhaps its still on the north shore...Hmmm. I miss all my old cars.
1986 land rover 90. converted to 200 tdi. sort of like a bigger samurai (same colour too) Still is my daily driver.
This list doesn't include 3 of my parents cars I crashed or the 6 vespa scooters (and one lambretta) I have owned.

Mirth
Baby Time.
Wow, I feel like a child compared to the number of vehicles you guys have owned... oh well, here is the list, for what it is worth.
1984 Honda Scooter (ya, I really drove one for a few months)
1978 Alfa Romeo Spider Convertible
1987 Pontiac Firebird
1992 Plymouth Laser
1996 Ford Explorer [sigh-this was the worst vehicle ever]
2002 Chevy Trailblazer
2002 Honda Civic SiR
2007 VW Eos Hardtop Convertible (Still Own)
2008 Land Rover LR3 (Still Own)
Hey, that list isn't too shabby afterall!
My favorite ALL time vehicle? The LR3. Easy and no question. Although the two convertibles come in tied for second because there is just something about a convertible. The huge glass panes and sun roofs in the LR3 are close... Actually, the laser was a great car and the fire-chicken was nice too. Darn. I liked them all. Well, maybe not the Ford so much...
I'm going to keep the VW and LR3 until they both simply can't be held together for another second... Although, I'm sure that I've said that about every car I've owned at some point or other (except for the Ford)...
Can't wait to see what the future holds.

seapotato
nowhere near the first list , but...
1973 VW Bug...first car. became the master of Ebrake 180's in that thing.
1974 Toyota Corolla. owned for 6 months in new zealand.
1976 Dodge Tradesman Van. Slant 6. Bought for 500 bucks, then drove to mexico in it 4 days later... :lol:
1985 Toyota Celica. Owned for 2 weeks, then the parking lot it was in flooded with sea water up to it's steering wheel. actually drove it to work before it all turned chernobyl.
1984 Toyota Supra. Awesome car...thing went like hell.
1979 BJ40 Landcruiser. Owned this a loooong time. gradually became a
1982 BJ42 Landcruiser, after a rebuild with the help of a
1985 BJ60 Landcruiser, that I drove home carefully so the frame didn't brake in half, and used the guts to build the 42 and parted the rest.
1987 BJ70 Landcruiser, still my DD, got it for a song from a dumb kid, who didn't understand glow plugs :lol: Finally fixing it up to be presentable.
1971 Fj40..project truck I gave up on and sold to a friend.
1975? Fj40 came as a package with previous 40, but traded to a buddy for a diesel for the other 40...
1976 FJ/BJ 45 Landcruiser Pickup, basically took parts from a 45, and combined it with the 40 I'd owned for years to make a diesel pickup. Sprung over, 35's, arb, turbo diesel. bigass money pit, put a ridiculous price on it, and 3 days later was cashing a cheque. guess I shouldn't complain, but I do kinda miss it.
196x 109. Unwanted half of a package deal, sold the hard top to DaveF,and the rest is now in Utah I think?
1971 109 5 door....much maligned. see sig... :lol:
1974 Porsche 914 2.0Le...I think it's mine...damn things been behind my barn for 5 years... :roll:

LR - Volvo - VW
This thread just reminded me of a conversation that was going around the table at the Christmas party that turned up a that most Land Rover owners have at one time or another owned a VW or a Volvo.
Then reading through the list I see it continues to be true :!:
Not sure if that's sad or cool ... 8) :roll:

18 ) 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 pick up short box 4x4 crew cab Duramax diesel [ still own ]
Worst vehicles owned :
1) 1978 Chevrolet Corvette [ body finishing & architecture was shoddy and the vehicle leaked like a sieve ] , however I sold it privately more for what I paid for it new … go figure ?
2) 2001 VW GTI VR6 [ drive train was bullet proof ] , however body architecture was questionable … rear view mirror fell off while driving , multiple power window failures , glove box door fell while driving , multiple head lamp failures etc . ]
Best vehicles owned :
1) 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlas 442 - was still running strong at 202,000 miles when sold
2) 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ42 – 4x4 basics at it’s best … an easy trail fix
3) 1986 Land Rover 90 .. my Rolls Royce of the 4x4 stable !! Love it and reliable
4) 1988 BMW M5 .. a fun car to drive at race tracks and was also at 2 Open Road Race Challenges in Nevada [ 1990 & 1992 ] . It took abuse , was reliable as hell and always got us home !

I'll chime in on the VW comment as well. 2 years ago I bought and rebuilt a 1987 VW Westfalia Syncro, but it was quickly pointed out by my lovely wife that for all intents and purposes it mirrored the same role the Carawagon filled, and which one was I going to keep? In retrospect it would of been easier to find a new wife than another Syncro Westy..........

1975 Olds Omega (Brothers girlfriend Wrote off when "borrowed it")
1980 Plymouth Reliant hatchback (sold)
1985 Pontiac 6000 (sold very cheaply)
1980 Datsun 720 4x4 with 300zx engine (sold as scrap)
2x Ford Focus ZX3 (both sold)
1972 Triumph spitfire (bought to restore... fell into dust and parts quickly)
1978 Triumph spitfire 1500 (almost completed restoration frame up - still own)
2006 Smart Four two convertible (still own)
2006 Mazda CX7 (Still own)
Loved my first car, left it at home for a few months when I went away (so my dad can use it) brothers girlfriend borrowed it and smashed a dozen parked cars before driving it headlong into a highway divider. I got it from a friends grandmother, had plastic on the seats, sat in the garage, Krager rims, loaded, was excellent condition... got five hundred for insurance...
sad

Re: What vehicles have you owned?
I hit a milestone in our D2 yesterday that I figured was worth sharing with you folks...
400,000 km
A few bits of trivia about what got me there...
I averaged around 15 mpg (imperial) every time I checked mileage, with the best being 20 mpg (trip to Moab) and the worst being 12 mpg (winter city driving) using mid grade fuel.
In L/100Km this is 18.8321, which means the truck used 75,328 litres of fuel.
At an average (estimated) cost of 1.30 for mid grade, that works out to roughly $100,000 of fuel!!!
Now about keeping the truck alive... I created this list for a friend a few months back that was looking at buying a D2. While a lot of work was done, most of it was DIY and so the cost of repair hasn't come close to the cost of fuel.
160K head gaskets (no valve grind, just clean and replace)
200K clutch fan - shattered blades due to mud hole
200K intake heater plenum replace (very small job)
200K waterpump
225K reweld Y pipe (cracked and split while off-roading)
240K crankshaft position sensor left truck stranded
250K head gaskets
260K coils and plug wires
350K head gaskets (primarily due to leaking valley gasket, heads weren't actually leaking)
350K replaced worn rocker arm assemblies with used
360K lower rad hose burst
375K timing cover to block gasket (replaced water pump at the same time, big job this one, but the bottom end of the engine remained untouched even though I had to take the pan and oil pickup off)
Non engine
left rear hub ABS sensor and harness
right front hub
brakes, shocks, springs numerous times
rear pinion seal
replaced transfer case at about 240K
replaced front drive shaft 2x (shoddy ujoint replacement first time)
starter
just going through bushings for the first time, rear done, front this winter
Also replaced the transmission about 2 months ago as it was showing signs of failure.
To Do this spring:
-high/low shifter not functioning due to a mistake made by the shop that put in the transmission
-more bushings
-lots of little accessories beginning to die now
-new shocks to be installed
-manifold to downpipe gaskets to be replaced
