Domokun Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I know there are car forums out there but just wondered what everybody on kickback drove or what their dream cars are etc. I'll start with my boring, practical and pretty cheap daily driver: I also have my wee baby which is under construction at the mo (I've photoshopped the no. plate - that reg would cost many times more than the car) And my dream car: 50-odd grand of 160mph plus with room for the pram? Yes please sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo121 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It took a bit of convincing in the first instance on the Skoda but took it for a test drive and never looked back. Its a crackin car would recommend it to anyone. Ye its a Mustang only the 3.9l model but still has some power at the top end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart MacD Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 My favourite Volvo, particularly the "pre-Pay only" ones, where we don't have to wait ages for idiots without the right money or wimmin who have to dip into their handbags (after 15 mins waiting for a bus, you'd think they'd have the money ready).

Cigaro Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I drive a 10 year old Vauxhall Corsa. Wanting to uprate it to make it feel more comfortable. Fine just now while I'm at uni, but its cost me ?200 in the last month on repairs. Monkfish, I like the Swift:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankblack Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I drive a 5 year old Vauxhall Corsa, and drove an older Corsa before that. I'm not a fan of big cars because they are difficult to park(fit) in ever-narrowing car parking spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Le Clos Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I drive a Skoda Fabia vRs. Get one, I love it! 45mpg and goes like Goncalves! If I had the money I'd have; Mitsubishi L200 Warrior - for the school run 'ken Audi S4 - great performance and a boot Dodge Viper - just to be silly AC Cobra - because it's the best looking car I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondejamtart Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Currently driving a Toyota Hilux Surf, and if I had the money I'd buy another one (new) tomorrow - but if we're living in dreamland, then a Bugatti Veyron would be rather nnice!

Domokun Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 I've always wanted an old-style Mini Cooper. Who actually thinks the new shape ones are better looking?

blondejamtart Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I love the old Minis - learned to drive in one, drove all types of Minis for years -everything from the basic bog-standard Mini to the pick-up and even a van. Oh, and I used to rally them too - Cooper S, definitely the mutt's nutts!! Ever seen a Mini do a triple somersault - well I have, from the inside, and had the broken collarbone to show for it!

Must admit I never had you down as a racer. Just goes to show eh? I've always wanted to do rally driving. How did you get into it? The closest I've come to proper racing is track days at Knockhill.

I got into it because my boyfriend at the time (later to become my hubby) was into it, and I started co-driving for him. Competed for years until I had the kids - car club's lady champion three years in a row (oh, and Knockhill was where I broke my collarbone!)

monkfish1979 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 PS: Monk I quite like yer Swift. Are they as fast as the old style Swift GTIs? Not quite as quick 0-60 (by about .4 of a second) but a slightly quicker quarter mile, iirc (again, by about .4 of a second). Handling is absolutely flawless on em, though. Had the diesel before I got the sport - quite possibly the slowest car that I have ever driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arse 'Friends' Dyslexic? Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 This is my mundane, drive to and from work/shops car. Note: That isn't everyday, can't be arsed washing it, grime you see on it - it's special spray-on rally dirt from Monte Carlo which gives it character. This is the "beast" I drive when I need excitement! Strangely enough it didn't start the day looking as beaten up as in this photo. For anyone who wants to see how the front end came to be in that state then do a search on Youtube for "XR2 Race Crash". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arse 'Friends' Dyslexic? Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Future - (dream on) That charger is by far the best modern "retro" car made so far. Even better than the modern Ford GT40 in my opinion. The front end is a wee bit "chin-y" - due to the US's bumper laws - but it's a fantastic homage to the original car. It's performance figures blow the original's to dust too. It's a fecking big car though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domokun Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 And they start at about $22k. Madness. Is that all they cost? Bloody hell. Not just that but those ba$tard yanks get to drive cars like that without ridiculously high road taxes and with the added benefit of fuel costing an average of 79c a litre or around 40p!!
