So what do you drive ? - Page 17

steve nielsen · 3 Apr 2009, 07:43 (Ref:2432084)

Ive upgraded my car a litle in the past month:

Sportexhaust, spoiler, K&N 57i kit and 15" wheels with 195/45/R15 tyres

Sodemo · 4 Apr 2009, 20:24 (Ref:2433561)

I have a 2.0 TDCI Mondeo at the moment, though I am looking for a new car soon, probably either an Audi A3 or a BMW 320CD.

2002 Alfa Romeo 156 Turismo (1.8L Twin-Spark)

Peter Dunne · 7 Apr 2009, 07:29 (Ref:2435688)

2005 Toyota Landcruiser for me. In my job you simply cant beat it for dragging a trailer loaded with a marquee out of a muddy field!

At the weekends, I play in a Reynard F3

My latest purchase over here is a Jeep Wrangler. Should be good for dune bashing and odd trips to secluded beaches for fishing and bar b's.

I misread that, I thought you wrote Dunne-bashing. Poor Peter

Smooth Mr Burns, real smooth....

**garcon** · 9 Apr 2009, 16:23 (Ref:2437518)

Given the Jeep Wrangler's, ahem, popularity in a certain market back over here, "Dunne bashing" could take on a whole new (and far scarier) meaning...

Nope, you've completely lost me there, otherwise it may be humorous.

**garcon** · 9 Apr 2009, 21:06 (Ref:2437734)

Let's just say that every English, urban, male, er, metrosexual owner of a pink Suzuki jeep thing aspires to a Wrangler.

Apparently.

**Peter Mallett** · 10 Apr 2009, 04:35 (Ref:2437853)

Oh good, a ready market for when I sell it!

GORDON STREETER · 19 Apr 2009, 23:17 (Ref:2445056)

Who needs a Jeep, my Smart Car is cheap to run and its even got aircon !!

Pro Racer · 23 Apr 2009, 04:58 (Ref:2447527)

Gordon love the mods you have done to your smart car:

Peat · 23 Apr 2009, 05:58 (Ref:2447543)

I'm rocking the Smart Roadster:

Cheap and fun. But no room to put ANYTHING!

Pro Racer · 23 Apr 2009, 10:30 (Ref:2447696)

gives you a reason to go out without the missus, she cant fit.

GORDON STREETER · 23 Apr 2009, 12:42 (Ref:2447790)

I actually brought the Smart with a knackered engine, and was going to fit a tweaked Suzuki bike lump in it. I decided against it as for someone with 16 convictions for speeding I might get my licence taken away for good !
I use it for local trips to town etc as its easy to park in very small spaces and for the grin factor I get when outdriving a fair number of a lot more powerful cars. I am planning on leaving it down in Spain in the near future as its a left hooker with air-con and also there is loads of room for my 6ft 1in frame .

GORDON STREETER · 23 Apr 2009, 16:54 (Ref:2447980)

Yes something like that !!!! I liked the crowd control behind all those barriers

Speedislife · 19 Jun 2009, 05:08 (Ref:2486349)

Saturn SL2. It's not a bad little car, 1.9 liter DOHC and room for 4. You just have to get it above 3000 RPM before the powerband kicks in.

It has a tick under 200K on the clock and still gives 25MPG in town, even when my right shoe gets filled with lead, which is more often than not!

ROB IS THE STIG · 21 Jun 2009, 20:41 (Ref:2487821)

My modes of transport are as follows:

2 Wheels - Black Honda CBR600

4 Wheels - White Fiesta ST150 (Being replaced on 24/6/09a0 by a Silver Seat Ibiza Sportrider edition

Mike_Wooshy · 22 Jun 2009, 08:31 (Ref:2488101)

How do you find the ST ? Im considering going for one later this year and selling my Ford Puma.... wud this be a wise choice ??? opinions welcome !

ROB IS THE STIG · 22 Jun 2009, 14:03 (Ref:2488333)

The ST is a great car, very quick with a few choice mods 165bhp easily achievable.

Have a look on here, loads of info and some great people:

They eat front tyres but a 2.0L front wheel drive fiesta is a handful, 100% reliable and 32mpg driving her hard is not too bad.

PTRACER · 23 Jun 2009, 12:47 (Ref:2489035)

I own a 1994 Peugeot 306 1.4 XL, which was rated at about 64bhp when new out of the box...Bought it from eBay for £900 when I was 17 years old (before I even passed my driving test) and I aim to keep it until it dies.

mac · 24 Jun 2009, 00:20 (Ref:2489475)

My work tends to put me in Peugeots quite a bit - currently in a 207 SW diesel, which is a fabulous little family car. Shame I don't have the family to go with it...
