After posting that I'm selling my phase I after two-ish years of ownership, it occured to me that my phase II is the car that I have owned the longest.....ever...
Out of all my past wheels, the Black Beast has been giving me pleasure (and some grief) since Feb. 93, coming up for 14 years....nearly a lifetime....
For the last 4 years I've felt that it was always going to fall under the MOT Testers Axe, but so far, it's always managed to pulled off that stay of execution...
The last time it was in, the tester commented that it was better than a lot of younger stuff he gets in.....
How long have you owned your 16valver(s)....

Ive had my red one since june 2001 bearing in mind im only 26. I would have had one sooner but i took me a while to find the "right one" if you know what i mean

I've owned mine about 2 and a half years now. I don't intend on selling it though, even if I am tempted to torch it occasionally....I can't sell it anyway, its been on telly. Its more famous than me
You can see pictures in the garage....but there are no more to be coming until it has completed its new look. What will 2007 bring

My White one is also the longest owned car for me, near on 3 years (i never found anything else i liked- except all the 8v GTi's).
It's stablemate has resided with us for less than 6 months.

In total about 20 months! September 1998-september 1999 then March of this year onwards, this time were not parting!
By the way that black one looks fabulous with those gold wheels!

I have collected many pics of bx's over the years, I cannot really say where or when I got this pic. I was just scouring through my Archos and came across it.
