I just wrote down all my previous vehicles, and most of the reg's.
I consider myself a normal consumer, not a collector, dealer, restorer, what have you.
Seems quite a lot considering, I was surprised.

32 here, and not a pretty collection (certainly on the car side at least):
Passed car test in 1997, bike in 2007.
Cars
Vauxhall Nova (aka Champagne Super) in snot green, rust brown & Hammerite black
Citroen ZX TDi in white - got smashed into by a works van
Citroen ZX TDi in blue - the repair bills on this almost bankrupted me, still haunts me now 10 years later
Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8i saloon in blue - fantastic car - bought it for £300 to see me through my last 2 months at college, ran it for 2 years with it needing only an indicator bulb cover changing, then sold it to a mate for £150. Superb car that was.
Ford Mondeo TDCi Zetec S in silver - bought from the missus' dad as I was doing a lot of miles, great car to drive but started racking up big bills for silly repairs.
Honda Civic - cheap, uninspiring yet utterly reliable little workhorse. Does the job without complaint and is truly amazing in the snow.
BIKES
SV650S (curvy) in black - first bike, loved it but it was always too small (physically, not power) for my lardy frame
ST1100 in red - bit of a curveball for someone in their late 20's, bought from my mate's dad for a 2 week euro-trip, then sold it to my dad who still has it.
CBR954 Fireblade - despite numerous attempts to sell it, still got it and will almost never see it go now. When all is right in the world, this thing is utterly, utterly brilliant.
SV650 streetfigher in blue - bought off here, really like it, again - probably not going to sell this one
Seven cars, six bikes by age 30.
Cars-
1987 Austin metro 1.3ltr (in the fastest colour: brown!)
1993 Ford Orion 1.6ltr
1993 Honda civic 1.5 lsi
1992 Honda civic 1.6 vti
1997 Peugeot 406 3.0 v6 coupe
2001 Lexus is200 2ltr
2004 bmw 330 msport
Bikes-
Kawasaki kx80
Honda cr125
Suzuki rm125
Yamaha yz250

Considering I haven't owned a car for 3 years, when I had them they lasted about a year. (except the fiesta which lasted 4 days... new drivers eh!)
Bikes: I passed in 08 but generally owned 2 at a time so I buy 1 every 8 months but keep it 16 months, sounds about right actually.

0 cars for me. Had use of plenty in my time.
And only 3 bikes.
On another note I've never paid for a TV either. My old man seems to big a new one every two years and I get a delivery of his old one... God bless him he refuses to take money off me..
