Who's had their GTA the longest?

by **Tony Smith** » Sun May 16, 2004 7:35 pm

I was wondering what the longest period of time any of us had owned a GTA for. I'll have had mine 14 years on the 30th October, anybody longer?

Doubt its me either. Since April 10 this year, thats about 5 weeks.

More than 8 years now for me.

(I find it best after that length of time to avoid looking at the folder full of receipts)

Not me either,,,,,but judging by the amount of money ive had to spend on it must equate to about 20 years of normal car ownership!!! does that count? (but shes worth it :wink:

I purchased mine in August 1989 - Do I hold the record? I still use it everyday and would be lost without it.

Ordered mine in June 1989 (does this count) took delivery on September 1st 1989 due to the garage breaking a headlamp glass in the showroom.
I don't use it every day anymore, just for playtime!

How about collectively.

Total number of GTA's x years owned for each

Is that allowed

Maybe, What's the answer then?

You just want to practice your algebra again Steve!

by **simontaylor** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 7:38 pm

Stephen, December one year to January the next year does not count as 2 years.

Simon I'll bear that in mind

Unfortunately I've never been in the enviable position of turning a GTA over that quickly. Anyone who's ever owned an atmo will lay testament to that

In total around 8 GTA's from between 1-5 years each. So on average probably about 14-15 years worth of 'consecutive equivalent' ownership but feels like a life time :roll:

Tony can add a few more years on if he includes his short term investments as well :wink:

Would probably have had my 3dr cossie 17 years now if a frightened passenger hadn't pulled the handbrake on and put me through a brick wall backwards :evil:
