Between 15 to 20.
About 50% were safe.
Only one went to the great scrap heap in the sky. A Cortina. That you could see the front wheel, while driving.
It also had a hole in the petrol tank that you couldn't fill up, above half way. |

"I’ve had far too many, and also never enough. The ones that were the most fun were almost certainly not safe to be in.
When I put it like that … cars are a lot like women aren’t they?"
Less expensive but yes good analogy... Some need regular servicing, some can get by with just being filled up when they need it. |

Didn't realise Swiss Tony was on here 
6, 2 of which were unsafe. One of the unsafe ones didn't even have a working speedometer, you just had to guess.

Nine and not all safe. The Opel bonnet flew open as I was doing 60 on the A3, and the Astra caught fire and burnt the garage block down where it was stored. |

8 cars I’ve owned personally, all safe. Although the central locking on my first was dodgy.
Until last November I worked for a car manufacturer and drove company product. I had a new car around every 6 months so probably around 16 cars and all safe. |
