Hey, Just joined this group. I bought my 1997 Z3 in 2000 and still have and drive it. It is the car I use the most for the work commute. Just bought a 2008 750Li to keep it company :)

Went for 20 years changing every 12 months, now tend to keep em for 2-3 years, must be getting old. Shortest was in 1996, had a '93 K Nissan 300zx totally loved it but only kept her for 5 months. 9 points and £400 a month in petrol (err 15 years ago) and she was traded in.

:(

Audi A3 - 2 Years

Corsa B - 5 Months

Toyota Glanza - 6 Months

Pug 306 - 2 Months

BMW - Since October :D

I have been driving for 20 years now and have owned over 60 cars, so my guess would be ...........not very long....LOL
