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!!

S5 S/B

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
Honda accord tourer
Porsche Panamera
Puegeot 307 xsi
New model Volkswagen beetle

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.

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.

Happy days, same as the Golf!

Interesting thread, this. The title being ‘What cars do you own ?’

So how many of you actually own 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?!
