What Car Do you Drive?!

[DiddlyDodds]

Volvo V 50 , great car

Whichever Peugeot I get given at work. Currently a 3008, last one was a 508sw, before that another 3008 and before that a different 508sw, you get the picture.
Don't always know from day to the next what car I'll have as it could be sold at anytime.

[QUOTE 1779716, member: 9609"]I don't quite know, one of those things that I just can't exactly explain. It genuinely puzzles me how the vast majority of the population is so obsessed with cars, the way so many people are so willing to spend so much money on something they probably don't entirely need. There are plenty of people who are probably spending many thousands per annum just to to show off to others. Its bonkers, and I well pleased with myself for never being lured into that madness.

I suppose my argument sort of fails in that there are plenty of cheap excellent value second hand cars. For what ever reason i seem to be at my happiest being the stereotypical WVM.[/quote]


All the above could also be transfered to "why do you want a wife" , they are expensive , troublesome and sometimes let you down and when scrubbed up we like to show em off.
All in all we love em.

I don't own a car or any other sort of motorized vechicle as I am an epileptic so my bike is my only form of transport.

 

[Crackle]

A 12 year old one of these. It looks quite shiny in this picture but it's actually covered in scratches where the bikes get leant against it or the dog jumps up. It doesn't matter really as most people think it's got phantom of the opera type looks anyway.

I think it did 2500 miles last year and it's reached the age where I need to do my own maintenance on it, I can't justify garage labour and part costs.

Nothing special a Skoda Superb. (Aka, everyone thinks your a Taxi)

Cant understand why they would think that ?

Here's my Superb

To be honest im not that impressed with it ! plenty of room inside and if you fold the rear seats down it'l double up as a Hearse but it does'nt feel as solidly built as the Octavia which is what Mrs Muddyfox drives

Hahahah! There we go then! Nah I like it, its comfortable, quite quick and pretty luxury inside for a Skoda. Its no comparison to the BM but its still a nice car!

Its a nice enough car and if i had the DSG gearbox and something with a better spec im sure i'd be happy with it but the Octavia feels more solid inside .. i've done 40,000 miles in mine over the last 8 months and the plastics are already starting to creak a bit so i dread to think what it'l be like in 18 months time

My mother inlaw has got the new shape Honda Civic and that is an excellent car

Girls car.

My car is a 15year old Toyota Starlet, I've had it since it was 6 months old. Its got 33,000 on the clock but 6,000 or 9,000 were done before I got it (or was it 14,000 ). Since I started keeping a cycling log 41/2 years ago I've cycled nearly 39,000 miles, so its no big deal really that it is currently off the road.

Weapon of choice is my Audi A4 Avant

Ford Galaxy for holidays and days out

Fast and furious Honda Varadero just for me

 

[2PedalsTez]

My last car was an Octavia vRS with a few..err... 'tweaks'. I then went through a financial guilt trip and bought a diesel Kia C'eed. Dirt cheap to run, but god, it's dull.

I do still fancy a fast Ford

 

[vickster]

MkV Golf GTI DSG, goes plenty fast enough, can get a bike comfortably in the boot with seats down, but eats super UL fuel if driven enthusiastically

Known as Gretel

Ours is the SE Plus with DSG DPF giving it 170 Horsepower If I remember right enough? To be very honest I actually cant find a fault with it, except on the day we got it the Headlight washers refused to work as did the horn. But that was just due to a fuse that had blown.
