Citroen C4 Grand Picasso
Peugeot 308 CC
You walk on the wild side Tracey 😯
a piece of cr4p 2003 golf 1.4 stationwagon - used as a van
and the missus has a 2010 Golf TDI stationwagon - excellent car
currently considering getting a new X-Trail or Audi A4 offroad
Saab 93 tdi
Mazda RX-7 single turbo conversion.....430bhp rather quick really.
Selling soon though!!
2 Ultimate dull wagons:
07 CMax 1.6TDCi and a 55 Mazda 6 Estate. I have almost monthly urges to buy something flash, but as the kids (not to mention my mtb habit) have pretty much destroyed the interiors of both cars, why bother, i'll just run them into the ground...both have about 80k on the clock, so should be good for another 3 or 4 years minimum.
The Picasso is great for bikes, boards and family
The 308 CC is for me

BMW 320D estate, gf has one too.
Just this, not diesel, not an estate, not good on mpg but it does me just fine!

'11 Golf 1.6 TDi bluemotion Match, it's a bit of a mouthful but I get 58mpg
Also have an '04 Honda Stream MPV which is the do it all van of the house. You can chuck a bike in the back without taking the wheels off. It doesn't do many miles now, we only get 34 mpg but it has never had anything replaced in 70k miles so that counts for a lot of petrol.

C1 was it Hora? Are they 900 or 1000cc? 😆
Currently have '59 BMW 118D company car (great to drive and 50+mpg, but too small for a family of 4)
wife has an 09 Skoda Fabia (brilliant build quality but crap on fuel as it is petrol)
The BMW is going back within the year, and will be repalced with either a Passat or Touran Bluemotion.
I'm keen on picking up a nice hilux twin-cab for camping/bike carrying duties but finances won't allow at the moment... ;o(
Huge fun - well, not actually huge, but fun...

@nicholasnismoThat RX sounds fun!
It's a lot of fun, only down side is the mpg which is around 10mpg when Im having "fun" so its a little on the thirsty side, proper weapon though.
Currently depressed with my car situation.
Only have a Alfa 156 Sportwagon.
This time last year before the move down south, I had the Alfa, Fiat 500, 1967 MG BGT, KTM 200EXC enduro bike and a go kart....miss a garage.
Only plus point is the Alfa will soon be replaced by a Navara as a bike hauler 🙂
S3 Quattro, fuel economy dreadful but such fun.
+1, +1 and +1
Sprint Blue too 😀
Both good bike luggers!

I've got a Seat Leon Fr - petrol. Its a great car, really enjoy driving it. Usefully quick without being likely to get me into too much trouble and practical without being boring.
I'm also on the insurance of my brothers Evo VIII which I get to experience from time to time so long as I pay the not insubstantial fuel costs. Its frankly astonishing how quickly you can cover ground in the thing.
I'm glad its not mine though single digit MPG figure when you are pressing on and MPG in the teens when you aren't trying don't bear thinking about!
03 MX5 Sport
85 Transit Autosleeper
I just wish I could put the MX5 in the van. Would save many hassles.
Company car: 2011 V/Hall Astra 1.7 TD SRI 5DR - IMO a very well made car. Don't like the handbrake system, doesn't always engage & once found myself chasing the car along the road. Ave 47mpg, but drive it hard. Main car to lug the bikes around, comes with tyre marks on the roof lining 😆
Shared car with the missus: 2001 Mk4 Golf GTi 3DR in black (2 litre 8 valve). Nabbed it as a trade in for cost 3 years ago & it's still worth more than what I paid for it then. Lots of extras including a gun turret & heated seats. Getting an ave 35mpg, and only 38K on the clock.
I love youOnly have a Alfa 156 Sportwagon.
Brycey 4yrs ago I almost took my old Toyota Aygo onto the 'Ring but (I was calling round whilst in Germany) I couldn't find Ring insurance the day after NY's day ...so I had to drive past it on the way home 🙁
I didn't realise we were putting pictures up 😉

Daily drive is a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX FQ340. It gets used for hauling the bikes around also.
I keep resisting buying an ariel atom for weekend use as they are quite cheap nowadays.
A5 Sportback - surprisingly good when it comes to fitting the bikes in, certainly better than the coupe would be!
Still regret giving up my fireblade powered kit car, stupid amounts of fun to be had in that!
Friend has an Atom 3 300... tis an immense bit of kit, shame its got no handbrake and is so difficult to get MOT'd. Oh, and not great for the bike!
At Mayhem last year. Time for a change soonish

I don't. I have 3 bicycles, a kayak and a National Rail photocard for special occasions.
A Honda Accord estate and a Merc eclass diesel estate ( tickled by Brabus 🙂 ).
If the garages weren't fully of bikes I might have something more interesting but I have trouble letting go of my bikes!
Celica 190
MX5 1.6
Celica might be going soon, probably buy a Civic, but I do love that car. MX5 was a recent acquisition I can take hair dresser jibes all day.
'06 VW T5 Kombi SWB 130
'07 VW Toursn TDi S
Am sadly going to have to sell the van any day to make room for a Polo due to a change in circumstances.
220 bhp T5 Kombi
Smart fortwo cabrio
ZZR 1100 (96k miles)
KTM 660 SMC
Missing the older 1.9 tdi quattro A3
Would love a 500C Arbarth, Lupo Gti or a well specced Skoda Yeti..
There are ALOT of VAG products on this topic. 😯
Would love a 500C Arbarth
You might quite fancy this then..
Have to say, the Azzuri blue is rather nice

Personally not bothered about the rag top...
These look like cheeky fun though - apparently the 1.4 T-jet engine from the standard Abarth 500 has been tuned to deliver 300bhp 😯

This last track version looks like something from a Scaletrix set!!!
Have to agree with charlierevell, A5 s/back good for getting bikes in… and on!!

2CV IS the car of the thread.
My car is a Citroen C1.
You get 27mpg out of a V6 4motion? Best I got was late teens!! Now I get 40 at best out from the C1.
Citroen 2cv6 charleston
Ripple bonnet 2cv

I buy cars and tend to keep them forever.
Not bragging or anything, but most expensive car in the world.
Oh yes.

Fiat 500. Not an ideal bike transporter although I did once get two bikes to France on it...
We have a few of this sort of thing in the yunki household..

1.8 A4 saloon,
2.4 v6 A4 Avant,
Nissan 200sx s13 with RB25DET 2.5 straight 6 turbo from a skyline dropped in.
We have Sonnie and Natasha
Sonnie is a yellow Fiat 500 1.4 Sport. More smiles per mile than you can possibly imagine. We will probably trade up to an Abarth Essesse next.
Natasha is a red Alfa Romeo 147 2.0 Twin Spark Lusso. Why did I wait so long to get an Alfa? Loving her so much. And I think she is the only the second Alfa on the thread. Would love a Q4 Brera or Q4 159 Sportwagon.
Celica 190 T-Sport gen 7 (mine)
MR2 mk3 (hers)
Both mildly tuned.
Fiancée has works car too, Golf Bluemotion which is dull & boring.
Audi A3 Sportback 2.0T Quattro. VW High Up! for commuting.
How strange this post is up 7 months after I started it !
We bought a Merc C270 cdi estate in the end, but sadly its now gone so actually looking for another car !
(great car 55mpg but had an electrical fault that kept reoccurring and refuse to spend anymore on it, sold on ebay with known problem)
sticking with Jap cars now (the boss has spoken)
A lot of money on this thread!
I've got an 03 mk4 Golf GT TDI 130 it's good. 106k on the clock, 50+ mpg.
Want to replace it with an A5 once we've bought a house! Can't bring myself to drive the Sportback as it looks rubbish, so it'll have to be the Coupe and struggle with bikes!
A4 avant and A5.
A5 ok for a bike with seats down and wheel out.
