    EDIT I see some of the picture links are broken, and I needed to add a couple cars tot he list. I'll try and fix the pic links and update the others with pics soon.

    I buy cars quite often. If i see a good deal I grab it and sell it, or drive it for a while, then sell it.

    Yeah. Heard the 90 Rabbits were problematic. Suffered from constant spark-plug bearing failure and leaky blinker fluid seals

    I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...

    I lost track at 65 VWs - I used to buy them cheap, drive them for a while and sell 'em for a profit. Of course those days are gone - believe it or not, people used to let me haul them out of their way for free!!! I have a huge selection of VW toys though - my kids counted 90 different ones Uh - yea, Id say I'm a little obsessed LOL

    OH I've also owned 2 Camaros, 2 MGBs, A dodge Dart and assorted other "beaters".
