And this when I dont:

this is it - not with stuff on roof all the time.

Nothing interesting for me unfortunately - I have a Toyota Prius [but only beacuse it's free!]

Stu

I have been using a 97 Jag XJ for the last 5 years but she is going to have to go in the next couple of weeks Need a cheap economical (read boring) driver

'89 740.




DD will be an amazon when I've finished restoring it ^_^

No to bland daily drives, 03 leon cupra R, and a Suzuki ignis sport, both bloody great fun.

Mazda RX8 or 79 mini for me although mazda is gonna have to go soon

Freelander...

Audi S6 - 5.2 V10 Quattro.

bland all the way for me. 1.3 2005 corsa diesel. and a 1.6 diesel focus cmax.
only two things that keeop me sane is the knowledge that a v8 petrol kit car sits in the garage, and the fact that both oil burners do approaching 60mpg.

Dont know whether mine's bland, boring or what, 06 Mitsubishi L200 Warrior, still makes me smile, especially at £125 PA Road Tax, and a reasonable 33mpg.

Was a very sideways E39 M5 but now a diesel A3, only for a few months then possibly a 400bhp ish Evo maybe

Currently a 2.0 twin turbo 280bhp subaru legacy estate.

seems to be a little thirsty though, so shall soon be changing to a big diesel estate ( something to cope with my wife, child and 2 great danes), something sensible like a Chrylser 300c touring CRD

Quite slow but very amusing VeeDub T25 camper

Focus Estate 1.6 TDCI company car on 59 plate.

Does everything I need it to do and its free use and petrol (after paying the pax man for the privilage!)

Also handles quite well but again the only reason I am content with it is becasue I know I have something to enjoy when Im not working.

Biz

Old luxo-barge for me - cant resist em. A truly pimpin Vauxhall Omega Elite saloon in BRG with cream electric heated cow - mm mmmmm. 3 litre V6 and RWD = great fun. Worth absolutely nothing . I think I want an old merc S-class next - may as well do pikey-prestige properly Double glazing - mmmmmm

My daily drive is an RS4 B5. 2.7 V6 twin turbo with 440 bhp



RS4 Leaving Ginetta



But now the weather is getting better I'll be using my Bandit 1200

Dave

I have the deep privilege of slipping aboard a T reg fiat brava every day for 75 mile round trip to work.

Who needs a kit car when you have the looks, the drama and racing pedigree of my italian powerhouse.

E39 530i Sport for me! In Black with lots of black interior! ooks like a drug dealers car (apparently!)

Description

boring mk1 Focus for me.... 1.8 blacktop was enough to put a grin on your face, but nothing special


only now its hit 110k and I've run out of clutch, the brakes have gone spongy, the suspensions keeps braking on the pot holes, its got a vacume leak and the heatshields keep falling off

I'm going replace it with something alot simpler and cheaper next time.......

I caught myself looking at a 1981 fiesta the other day
and I know what they are like to drive, I had one as my daily driver for 4 years not that long ago - and I really miss it sometimes
(or if mango still had my old 106 I'd buy it back)



[Edited on 13/4/2011 by mcerd1]

usually it's my bike but if the weather is really awful then I use the Bluebird, once the Falcon is on the road the Bluebird will be taken off the road and stored

The bike is great though, amazing fun and very cheap to own, looking at taking it to Orkney in a couple of weeks time for a long weekend

i am poor so i drive £500 worth of the finest french diesel

citroen ZX td estate

in many ways i love having a banger, with the state of the roads its not really worth having anything decent to use everyday imo

My current daily drive. Not overly exciting but i do have covert blue lights fitted to mine.

Currently a 54 plate Mondeo ST TDCI - sort of boring sporty, I like it a bit too much though, it does most things well. I lust after something more exciting.

I also have a mk2 XR2 turbo which was my daily for about 8 years Would like to get that back on the road this year.

Keep looking at E39 M5's though lately, dont think my other half will agree though with house number 2 on the way.

'Four for me too, or a 306 diesel, but you knew that (OP)

Ferrari F430...
but with the shopping dings from Sainsburys car park it look remarkably like a 1.4 Civic

General-purpose Ford Focus... not in the least bit exciting, but I get my driving thrills in the Toy Car!

the mk for me

Volvo C30 Rdesign





Its the 1.6D DRIVe which aludes to giving 73mpg - but ive only ever managed 55 trying and 45 average!

Is £30 road tax though, which is a nice feeling come renewal time.

An old Volvo V40 t4 estate - 200bhp for £500.

Dents on every panel, scratches all over it, but goes like a good 'un.

Bit thirsty though, 25-27mpg is typical, and that's getting a bit too expensive.....

At the moment it's a Panda but I'm having to get rid of it because my lodger has moved out (It's leased). Hopefully I'll be getting something bigger and RWD, Maybe a 5 series or something simillar.

In my experience drug dealers actually tend to have pretty boring cars, the two I know of both have French cars in the form of a Xsara and a 505 estate.

This is mine, anyone want it?

That is very nice - what is it (sorry don't know anything about bikes)

Well we have my mondeo, not this exact one but the right shape and colour



It's been a cracking car, no problems, fits everything in (including 6 foot big blokes) and is pretty good on the fuel.

Then there's the missus's one:



Gets about the same mileage

What I take to work depends on what's first out on the drive

Our 11 year old trusty, slightly juicy on petrol SAAB 95 TANK with more leather & gadgets than i can use on my daily commute

Comfortable, quick enough, quiet (for a petrol let alone a diesel), very well built. My only gripe is the blatant over inflated MPG figures. If when I triedhard I could get within the worst they quote (60something) then I would be less annoyed.

How much more and on a computer or calculated on mileage and amount of fuel purchased? I tend to find the computers are unreliable (ususally to trick people in to thinking their getting the figures that were originally quoted!)

Most days during the week a company van Mercedes Vito new shape which is surprising nice to drive.

My own car is a Mondeo Estate Ghia X 2.2L TDCI. 155bhp same as the ST but full leather and few more electrical bits.

Only done 36K and thinking of selling as I don't use it enough.

Subaru Forester XT 2007 model - and I love it - gives me a smile every time I drive it - today I returned from a 3000 km trip in and around the Richtersveld - did about 600 km on gravel/stone roads and sand tracks in the desert - never faltered or got stuck, in a few days time I leave on a 2000 km 4 day round trip to the Eastern Cape and am looking forward to every km of them.

Have no idea what the fuel consumption is (high I think) and don't care but I enjoy the power and handling, that is surprisingly good for it's height, and brings a smile every time I leave so called hot hatches and others behind on the twisties.

I just dread having to replace it one day.

Now with modulars and special tracks

Edit: The picture mummy hasn't seen...shhhhhh


[Edited on 14/4/11 by focijohn]

LOL... did she not notice the hole in the drive :p



My daily drive. 2001 VW Polo GTI. A fairly rare beasty, even rarer in 3 door flame red.

Had a host of oddities as standard including VVT, Xenons, BBS split rims and a crude form of traction control.

Every part on it is totally OEM, VW. Drives like a brand new car





[Edited on 14/4/11 by tegwin]

51 reg VW T4 Transporter, an ex AA bought straight out of the disposal auction 4 years ago, resprayed blue. Just nudging 160,000 now & I've no plans to replace it any time soon, built like a tank, enough power & not too bad on fuel if you drive it right.

As a run-about, taking my mates to the pub etc I've got a mk4 Golf 1.6 which I bought for scrap value as the head gasket had gone & MOT ran out, it also had hand painted flowers & "All you need is Love & Wisdom" painted on the boot! Which I've removed! This replaced a Clio which was bought in similar non-running state, fixed, ran a few months & sold for a modest profit

Ford Mundane Titanium estate (co car at mo). Changing jobs and should hopefully have an A4 Allroad in a couple of weeks.

A clapped out mk1 1.6 Focus which hasn't been through the car was for a while and thanks to my mates now has a variety of comedy penis' and "HELP" drawn on it!

Toyota / Lexus Soarer (I call it the Lexota) 2.5TT - 380bhp and loads of fun ...... and it's up for sale too!

Had an F10 beemer delivered a month ago...company car, though.

1998 406 DT.

262k on the clock, covered in dents and holes from the air rifle, mis-coloured panels, seats stained with oil and filth, smokes like a tyre fire.....

......best car I've ever had.

Starts every morning, runs on veg oil, costs virtually nothing to insure, run or maintain and no stress worrying about if it gets stolen, vandalised, or blows up.

Depending on the weather, what I'm doing or how far I need to go, one of these two....
