Good one! Think we have some more long time owners here! The green car that's been waiting for a restore for ages now is in my posession for 14 years, the silver Baur is with me for 3 years now.

11 years for my oz Alpina. Now semi-retired on historic registration in NSW. 4 years for my 323 auto also on historic rego and 7 years for the Baur which is in need of restoration (hopefully 1 day!)

Bought my first e21 in 1990. A henna red 320 with 4 speed box. Upgraded to polaris 323i but went back to 02's and e12, before defected to RS2000 Escorts. After my accident I bought a 2002 auto, which I then sold and bought a 320 Baur, which got modified. Sold when I bought MIB 3 1/2 years ago.

The current motor about 8 months, and the one before that for about two and a half years.

3 years and a week now for the 323 and a little over 2 years for the Alpina. Had my first 323 in 86. Did`t last so long ;-( 20 year old and to young to drive. Had that felling today also. Some rain here in Oslo and the car slipped a little bit....
