wil0 Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I thought id start a thread about peoples cars... ive got a 1994 Rover Mini 1275 with deepdish alloys, sportspack arches, rc 40 exhaust system, hi-los and other bits. Im thinking of making a mini with a 16V 2L Vtec next year but its unlikely.

Midget Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I'm currently trying to justify to myself that I can afford to swap my current coupe for a Monaro, but people keep telling me to be sensible and use the money for a house deposit
webman Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 wil0: I think that's been on Sky's Vroom Vroom before... look pretty cool 8)
wil0 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Posted April 27, 2007 Monaro for sure! Those people obviously dont know anything about cars! wil0: I think that's been on Sky's Vroom Vroom before... look pretty cool 8) Yeah, they are awesome my dads got a 2litre zetec westfield, Its got the same colour scheme as Patrick McGoohan's car from "The Prisoner", waiting till next year to get insured on it, wont get to drive it much cos il be at uni though...

plexer Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Well I have a 1.6 Vauxhall Meriva or if the wife needs it for the kids I have my push bike Ben
witch Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 There's been a previous thread on this: "what do you drive" I think
john Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 VW FTW I should be more specific, MK4 1.9 TDI 5 door, with R32 bits on it to make it look better, but I should add I'm going to go and testdrive the new R32 and new GTI and the new GT TDI over the next month and look to changing it.
NBC_Sys_C-ord Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Ford Escort 1.6i 16v mark 5 and its shite but it get me there and back.
Andrew_C Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I want a teleport system. The fecking motorway was shut for HOURS yesterday because some idiot BMW X5 driver wandered onto the carriageway to see if a lump of debris had fallen off his car. The truck that hit him made a hell-of-a-mess. 12 miles took me 50mins because I know the backroads, our Polish cleaner was stuck in his car for 3 1/2 hours doing 20 miles. I just want Scottie to beam me up, then home. Still, that's one fewer X5 on the road...
StewartKnight Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 I have a Citroen C4 VTR+ Citroens are great value, they break down and have so many parts replaced that you get 2 cars for the price of one! Just kidding, the only thing we've had replaced on the C4 is the windscreen (4 times)
Ch3rub Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I drive Nissan Micra - it's all I need = cheap and reliable
wil0 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 im thinking of getting one of them next year, for £300... then going on the mongol rally! http://mongolrally.theadventurists.com/
alonebfg Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I drive a peoguet 307sw 1.6hdi and what a car 5 or 7 seats and it does about 600miles per tank only 8 months old and i love it also goes like stink and for a deisel it drives like a petrol. and top speed ??? not had the bottle yet lol.
maniac Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 MK1 Golf GTi cabriolet, and I love it! Makes the drive to and from work interesting. It also costs a small fortune in petrol, needs constant TLC to keep it going, and has keep you fit steering and clutch as standard. I wouldn't change it thou.
sqdge Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Seat Ibiza Sport 1.4i Petrol 5dr (the 'sport' bit is very important - although the only difference is that the seats are slightly more uncomfortable and the gear stick is slightly smaller). It gets me to Scotland and back, which is all I really want.
TechMonkey Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 1972 Lightweight 24v Landy. Currently black and green but not camo, just a numpty previous owner who couldn't decide and couldn't paint properly. Great now that is summer, extreeeeeeemley impractical but superb fun. I've even been asked if I was in the Gorillaz (a popular beat combo for those in the dark ) as they have something similar. Didn't have the heart to tell the poor Y7 that it is nothing like that but just took the compliment. Oh and best thing.... Tax Free baby Eventually when I remember I'll have an av of it but never seem to get anything decent.
amyr Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 either my fiat punto 1.2 active petrol or mum's h reg range rover which is the bionical car...its had so many bits replaced...(character building car as it drives like a bowl of jelly!)
amyr Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 no technician that had to borrow money from bank of mum n dad n then pay it back! oh well only another few months n i'll have paid back the £2k i borrowed!
sqdge Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 wow technicians that can afford cars :-o I can only afford it due to a previous life.
Midget Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 The responses so far have cemented my desire to get our of eduIT
