The Car Thread

What have you got? What do you want? Pics of your baby? Here's mine:

[SEP]

I have a 10 year old Peugeot 306 1.9 TD Estate. It serves me perfectly well, and does absolutely everything I ask of it.

[Doug]

I'm the proud owner of a new shape 1.4 Clio. It's pretty good, pulls well for a non-turbo engine has masses of room and a good cd player.

Hmm.... ideal car would be an Alfa Brera and a dream car (at the moment) would be the Alfa supercar. Pure pornography.

[Red 5 stella]

I currently drive a black Peugeot 407sw. A nice enough estate but my next car won't be a Peugeot.

[Henke]

10+ year old Ford Mondeo.

It would be interesting to see how many Peugeot owners have bought another one. I'm guessing it will be 0.

[Mr G]

A W-reg Renault Clio Mk. II only got about 36000 miles on the clock, shame someone decided to smash the window the other night for no reason.

im looking to get an RX-8, always assmumed the insurance would be a killer but to my suprise it was only £100 more than my standard Focus!

Isn't the tax the killer on those?

yeah maximum group £400, fuel economy is awfull and it drinks oil but still 150mph o-60 in 6.4 seconds

[JNR]

1998 Vauxhall Vectra 2.0. GLS.

Oh yes. I'm buying it at the end of the month. £500.

Then, in three years time when I've cleared the magic 25 years old marker I'm getting rid of the Vectra and buying myself something fast. Probably some kind of hot hatch.

The car its self i like, externally the body shape is really good and all the internal functions again are good, but the cars reliability is questionable and the service from the Peugeot dealer garage is well crap!

The 0-60 is an overrated benchmark. My GTI goes 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds but the real thrill is 30-100+ when the thing goes like a rocket! Plus the GTI handles like a dream

How much are you looking to spunk on a car?

[black stig]

04 plate Audi A4 quattro. Had it since new.

It'd been neglected a bit recently, but spent most of Saturday giving it a right good clean, polish, wax and so on.

It now looks absolutely buff again.

between 8-10k, cant explain why but i love the notion of an RX-8. I know they are flawed and there are better cars for the cash, but i love the crazy design, sporty and practical!

I'm on my second.

[Andrew_version1]

I'm the unproud owner of a 1.0 T reg toyota yaris, don't get me wrong nice enough drive for a starter car, butthe lack of fun and pace is just ruddy annoying me now (2 years since passing, motorways everyday...you get the idea), so I am now looking at going for a 1.8i 2000-01 VW Golf GTI...anyone got any experience of these motors or any other recomendations to look into?

[E-Man]

I've got a 15/16 year old Citroën AX, which cost the respectable price of £300.

Infact, all three of my cars to date have cost a grand total of £1000.

[Duke Washington]

I've got a black 1.4 Fiat Grande Punto 08 reg. It's pretty good seeing as it's my first car.
