2009 Renault Sport Clio 200 cup
Amazing fun, but lucky to get 30mpg.
Golf TDI se 2008
Astra ecoflex 2012 wifes
Golf GTD 2012
Guess which two are company cars though.. 😥
a 1.2 Vauxhall corsa N reg 106000 miles. Paid £290 for it. Paid about £1300 for my bike. Priorities 😉
PePPeR you rock. My granny had one of those. My brother took it on when she died and I was on the insurance. It was a really fun car to drive around in, go for picnics, take life easy in. Apparently a bit of a collectors item now.
2004 Mk6 Transit T300 SWB Lowroof.
Having had a van I will never go back to a car. Vans are just so much better in every respect.
[EDIT] Except that van insurance policies never come with 'drive other cars' for some bizzare reason, other than that everything is better.

Would quite like an Integrale Evo3 as a fun car if I had the funds though.

My first was a 1.6 Proton Persona, paid £200 for it. At the time that was cheaper than a Hope C2 disc brake, which I had 4 of! Current van was cheaper than the frame of the current race bike.

And a Vectra.
A5 ok for a bike with seats down and wheel out.
Happy days, same as the Golf!
Interesting thread, this. The title being 'What cars do you own ?'
So how many of you actually [i]own[/i] the cars? H.P/ on finance/leasing/company car doesn't count.
Me. Why is this important?
*bought on finance. Now long since paid off
So how many of you actually own the cars? H.P/ on finance/leasing/company car doesn't count.
So if you've got a house with a mortgage are you not a 'homeowner'?
Well i currently own a silver forged 420bhp mitsubishi evolution 8 which was completely impractical for my good lady to drive so I also bought a stock evolution 9 FQ360 to tootle down the shops in!!
Very reasonable 4500 service intervals with the silver one returning around 13mpg so I like to think im doing my bit for shell shareholders.....i jest of course!!
Asides the above they are amazing cars to drive!! This is my fourth having owned a 5, 6, the 8 and 9!!
The silver one is for sale if anyone is interested? 😀
Pepper, that's an awesome car 🙂
I own a 2010 vw scirocco 2.0 petrol fsi turbo
and a 2010 abarth 500 esseesse which has been tuned to 200 hp and 255 nm of torque.
I still get 40 mpg and it costs next to nothing to tax and insure.
Nippy as its only just over a ton in weight.
A BMW E34 530i. Best car I have ever owned as it passed it MOT without any remedial work.
2012 Nissan Qashqai 1.5dci ntec, soon to be replaced with a Nissan Juke 1.5dci tekna
1996 peugeot 106 'new look' 🙂
A lot of nice cars mentioned and pics posted but when Pepper first mentioned his cars I instantly wanted to see them.. more than anything else mentioned on the thread.
Putting the dog aside,its the only car than made me flutter when you posted a pic of it. I still want to see the mark1 twingo though, so get a pic up!
Touran TDi - looking to replace with van/kid/bike/canoe carrier. Its been pricey to run, but good car still, and feels good and 'tight' for a 110,000mile car...
Yaris D4D - bought of my dad, has 70k on clock and has never had anything other than tyres, service and windscreen wipers replaced until a few weeks ago - and that was a 2 hr job to change discs and pads. Ace car...And I don't treat it gently...

Bregante are you flouncin around work tomorrow or riding shotgun with los batos loca Hombres around the Peaks tomorrow?
Nah mate, feet up on my desk with a box full of donuts tomorrow.
Or what I like to call "work" 🙂
Thieves dont 'work' Sundays. They sleep in, have Sunday lunch etc 😉
We shall own the trails on your behalf 😀
1994 Hilux Surf KZN 130.
Great for putting bikes in, kayaks on, and camping trips...
Not especially good on fuel, but never breaks and I can't help but love it...
🙂
I did toy with coming and being "on call" but I'd have to be in work within 30 mins and that would be stretching it a bit!
1975 austin mini (I'm thinking of selling this with a garage full of spares if anyone is intrested) or swap for a good MTB
fist bravo
seat leon fr
Soon I wil own either a Volvo S60 T5, D5 or a 530 or 540 E39
So if you've got a house with a mortgage are you not a 'homeowner'?
Stop paying your mortgage and find out.
Very unexciting cars here, 6yr old Festa and a 4yr old Bluemotion Golf
Really quite fancy and old Mini Cooper, don't have the time for a hobby car though
So how many of you actually own the cars? H.P/ on finance/leasing/company car doesn't count.
WTF has that got to do with anything? Jealous?!
12 Plate C180 Blue Efficiency Estate in Black.
Just about to get a Mizty L200 for firewood and dumping duties.
Wants a C63 AMG 😆
I think my next motor to replace my FRV will be a V70 r-design with a piddling 2.0d
Edit
Although I do get giddy occasionally and these are loads of car for the money

How cheap
My C1 is a dirty cheap deal lease car. HALF the monthly cost of an Aygo. Why own if leasing is so cheap?
Mazda 3 2litre Sport. All the toys, terrible fuel economy. Bland as. Reliable.
Mini Cooper Clubman. 1.6 a bit wheezy. Good economy. 17in wheels + run flat tyres give harsh ride. Handlers great.
Mazda's going next year. Just going to buy a big estate (A6, 5 series, Passat, etc) and be boring.
fist bravo
yowsa!
Subaru Impreza sportswagon, fantastic car, super reliable and still has the grin factor despite looking boring. So good we haven't found anything to replace it yet.
2005 Renaultsport Clio 182 - small car, big fun!
Mrs Legend has a 2011 Mercedes Vito 113 which is obviously a pretty handy bike mover
sprootlet what average mpg do you get?
Family wagon is a Volvo XC90
Wife requested an A3 as a runaround - had to be black or silver with parking sensors.
I found her a nice A3 3.2V6 Quattro DSG :-)). Bought it yesterday for a good deal - first drive today with 2 filthy bikes, and 2 even muddier riders! Oops!!
Bregante WCA was telling me how much discs/pads cost him on a similar sized merc of his - 2k? I think
😯
I could just sit in it outside the house though, revving the engine to annoy the weird man next door 🙂

Maccruiskeen, have you not seen a fist bravo? They pull a right punch 😳
This thread is getting silly. Doing nothing to save reputation if stw members. Beemers, Audis abd general showing off. Please more examples of 100k plus loved cars with soul. Corrado storm mentioned giving me the palpitations. 😀
1997 Audi A4 2.6L estate on LPG with 147,000 miles - love it!!
Also got a 1993 Mercedes 190D with 65,000 miles on the clock stored in the garage
Mazda 6 TS2 estate (2006) its only done 70,000 miles and I can't see any reason to change it. Had the silly cars in my 30's
Did own one from 6 to 265,000 miles only 1 breakdown in that time too
Would probably like an Evo though
2004 Accord Tourer, 2l petrol, 66k. Two weeks so far.
Middle aged white men in having the trappings of middle aged white men shocker.
