Big grey sheddy denty Mondeo estate, full of mud. Ideal for me really- quick enough, and quite fun to drive (180bhp from the 2.2 diesel, with a little fettling) but can waft along on fumes giving 60mpg, if allowed to.)

Can’t park it though.

Up until recently I had a Mercedes S65, a range rover sport tdv8, a BMW 335d and a VW fox. I’ve had a bit of a meltdown I guess and have chopped in my rich ahole lifestyle for a much more simple lifestyle in the middle of nowhere (well, Wales.

Currently borrowing a neighbour’s vauxhall signum ( worth “about 800 notes with a full tank of diesel butt” ), and you know what, I think it’s so uncool it goes full circle and is probably the coolest car I have driven for years. Have my eye on a Subaru outback spec B or a forester. .

Feels good man.

I want a C63 black and it’s not far away….

Nissan Navara Tekna Connect 2.5td 190bhp

MK3 TDi golf estate, 140k on the clock and the damned thing keeps sailing through MOTs so can’t find an excuse to change it. Also a scruffy little 77 MG Midget that is be rolling restored.

ZOKES – I’m considering a freelander2 myself, any more opinions of it?
Also, what kind of mpg do you get, i’ve heard they can be a lot thirstier than their claimed consumption? Cheers.

Ford capri MK2 3.0s – white black vinyl roof, rs2000 mexico – orange and green, sierra cosworth – white, type 1 vw beetle – grey with whitewall’s, immaculate dormobile t2 earlybay vw campervan – baby blue and white, 1958 vw splitty – race taxi colours & a yard full of used and abused t2’s, t25’s etc. & then motorbikes – All the Rd’s, 3fizzys, zxr 750, fireblade, r1 and the reliable c1 lol. Oh and a tuned up E46 bmw m3 & evo 7:) im a bit of a petrol head!

Renault Clio 197, hideous fuel consumption at circa 28mpg, it’s a ‘get it out if your system car’ that attracts all the wrong attention,

I WISH! lol i have a vw beetle flat screen in the garage ready for my 17th! but apart from that its just my bike! 🙁

You and me Drac living the dream. We’re not related are we?

Berling multispace Mk1.
Proper sporty like 8)

I’ve got an A4 2.0tdi S line, 2008 that I’ve had from 8k miles upto the current 70k, it’s been a cracking car, however, it’s actually not very big, especially with the big s-line bucket seats in the front, there’s no leg room behind me at all. It’s going to be chopped in for an A6 when one comes into the dealers.

2003 TT, not a great drivers car, but fun enough cruising in the sun. It’s done 50miles since it’s last service 3 months ago! Also trading in for the A6

Mk6 golf 2.0 blue motion as a company car, 6 weeks and 3.5k miles nice little motor and surprisingly rapid with the 140bhp engine. Does 48mpg driving like a lunatic on country roads. Very pleased with it

Gixer 1000. Golf R32. ’66 VW split. Mini Cooper.

Selling half the fleet shortly.

58 plate Fiat Doblo – very practical and surprisingly good to drive – very reliable so far.

The Doblo replaced a 280,000 mile Vauxhall Omega which had just lost the will to live. 😐

The Omega replaced a Daewoo Nexus, which was given to me and which I loved – it was a fantastic car, took us to some wonderful places – RIP Shedric.
It even had the decency to blow up outside a pub.
God, I miss that car.

Gixer 1000. Golf R32. ’66 VW split. Mini Cooper.

Selling half the fleet shortly.

any piccys of the split?

2001 Gold Avensis of Doom and a rusty T4 van i got for free when my dad died.

Living the dream 🙂

love it!, love rag tops! my dads got 3 bays on the drive but not one split:(

Prefer this one.

Bike and dog car is an A6 Quattro Avant, 2.7tdi – outstanding mile eating machine – 100k since new in Mar-07

@Jason – nice combination !

@transapp – A6 has lots of room for 4 adults, effortlessly whisked 4 of us to Marseilles in supreme comfort, try and get one with parking sensors front and rear, we only have rear and front too would have been useful – biggest downside to car is its a long beast when parking

Fun little car!

A6 avant for the last 6 years

And a 52reg Astra runabout

Loving that A6!

One day I’ll have enough wonga to own an RS6…

Not quite matching but close 320i Touring for the wife, and 520d Touring for me. Paid extra for indicators just so I can not use them.

2x rover 25 and a gsxr 1100,

Well – that depends on what you want it for…

We seem to get 35-40 mpg (rough conversion from km/100L over here), but I don’ drive in the city much. Off road you could double its consumption on some surfaces, but then that’s normal.

As I said in my post, I find it amazingly car-like on-road, and surprisingly capable off road. It’s comfy and handles well. From a practicality aspect, it could do with a bigger boot – the suspension pillars take up a surprising amount of space, though with the fold-flat seats down it’s huge.

I’d had no problems what-so-ever with it for the first 25k, but just yesterday I noticed a whirring / whining from the rear, and it looks like the culprit is the rear diff. Thankfully mine’s under warranty, and having just had it serviced, I’m unsure whether it is a case of the diff not being put back together correctly after being serviced, or wear. The former not being the car’s fault, the latter obviously is…. The internet seems to indicate that I’m not alone in experiencing rear diff issues though.

So up until last week, I’d have unequivocally recommended it. Now, I’m not sure if Land Rover’s legendary reliability issues haven’t been solved after all – 25,000 km isn’t far for a car to travel – things like diffs shouldn’t be failing.

Learning how to drive also solves this issue

Nowt special.

I’ve just (yesterday) sold my Celica, a much better car to drive than most probably think. It was 12 yrs old with 125k though so probably going to get maintainance heavy in the near future.

Now it’s a (yawn) diesel avensis estate- its a better biking car though!

Oh go on then.

1995 Mercedes Benz E-320 Coupe (W142 series), lovely 3 litre V6, 155,000 miles (and it’s for sale so you can do the next 100K miles if you want? No reason not to, it’s built like a Panzer).

TT Mk2 as an every-day driver. Nice and surprisingly good fun to drive but should’ve got a Golf GTI really, if only to avoid the ‘fashion accessory’ image.

Toyota Rav 4, 110,000 miles and counting. Wife’s car/general utility + camping vehicle.

So now you know.

General workhorse is a Focus estate 1.6tdci great on fuel.

Mrs has a little MR2 which is only used in the summer (last year it did a grand total of 80 miles!)

Here’s my old clunker of a Renault 4. she’s as scruffy as anything but if I started getting her tidied up I’d never use it properly.

I take it everywhere and use it in the winter as a four wheeled wheelbarrow, its generally full of logs, springer spaniel and wet children!

Brlliant car, this was taken last year on our trip through France.

2012 Ford Fiesta

To my mind the Renault 4 is pretty much the car perfected

My Four is ex police and is very battered, but I love her and the chassis is sound! It has the bigger 1.1 engine but still has drum brakes! 😕
