Hey guys, Starting a car thread! Be Honest and post a picture of your car! Or just give the name of it! (Picture incoming tomorrow, Its way too dark to get a picture of it now)
Post name of car, Miles, Engine size, Year of the car, Colour, Everything you want to really. Bike users can post too (Only own a 125 for the nice days we get up here.)
Ford Fiesta 1.2 Finesse 2003 Nearly 100k Miles It was my dads but I bought it off him for my first car (Learnt how to drive in it so I felt comfortable driving it.), Cheeky B*stard charged me £1000 for it! Plus I had to buy my first years insurance as well! Plus the MOT and Tax, And he didn't even give it to me with a full tank! (Only put a £10 in so he felt like a real business man). No Rust, never ever been in an accident, Although we did have the incident with that one sheep while I was learning (It was alright and the car wasn't damaged, Plus the Crofter was a pretty nice guy about it). I reckon I can get another 5 years out of it before any major problems start to arise, had to replace the odd bit, But luckily all that happened when my Dad was still the owner and user. No power steering, Got a CD Player and a tiny sunroof, What more do you need? Plus the Black Ice air freshner (My dad smoked in it for about 5 years before he quit by vaping (Cigalike, and even then he didn't really like it)about a year ago), Anyway, thats my ride. Looking forward to hearing from those of you on disability who get a new car every 3 years (My mother has a disability car, Its a Nissan Quashqie or however its spelt.) She gets a new car next November, so I hope I don't get envious.

I've got a 2.5 V6 mk3 Mondeo Ghia x. Around 120k. Bit heavy on fuel but has been 100% reliable so far and it's nice to drive and well equipped. I do like it but should have bought the 3.0 ST220!

Rolls Canardly. rolls down one hill, can hardly get up the nextActually I drive this which is my main vehicle at the moment. Wife has a 2001 Fiesta which I sometimes share, was her Fathers and was garaged for 10 years so in perfect condition when we got it and basically is like a 3 year old car with 25K on the clock. Tyres were changed because of their age and drives like a new car.

Dacia Duster Ambiance. Brand new a couple of months ago. 1411 miles on the clock. Still running in so only getting 52.6mpg but hope that will go up to 56mpg with another couple of thou on the clock. I also have a 1946 Morris E sliding head saloon. The wife has a 5 year old Renault Scenic and a 1962 Morris Minor Tourer.

lobeydosser, How do you find the Dacia? I have been considering one for a while. My Fleet? Well, I have a 2010 BMW 335d Touring M-Sport with around 34k on it (gets around 38 mpg): I also have a 2000 Range Rover Vogue 4.6 V8 with an LPG conversion and 102k on it (gets around 14 mpg on LPG and 20 mpg on petrol): And a 2003 Passat 1.9 TDI S with 143k on it (gets around 50 mpg): The Passat is my daily commuting car. I have a 100 mile a day commute, and the BMW is too nice to put them miles on, and the Range Rover is too expensive to run them sort of miles. The BMW is my nice car, that the wife usually drives the little one around in, but being the 335d it has a 3 litre engine with 2 turbos, so is also my fast, fun car. Being rear wheel drive helps. The Range Rover was bought because I had the BMW. I don't get paid if I dont get to work, well to the airport to get to work, so with the BMW being RWD, and the Passat being FWD, if we get a hairy winter, I can still get to work in the RR. Plus it's a big, luxurious beast. And I love it. Also take it when we go for big shops and stuff as the boot is immense.

I've a elderly Ford Focus, but as I don't drive any great distance my mileage is under 45,000. Costs me a fortune to run anyway as being 2 litre I'm lucky to get 20miles to the gallon with the type of driving I do and road tax is £260 a year. But it does me and the dog, his area is the tidiest bit of the car as I'm a complete trollop when it comes to car cleaning. At least it doesn't smell like an old ashtray now. I shan't be posting pictures needless to say.

Don't drive and don't want too, way too many nutters out there who have passed their tests, example here in Bournemouth they may aswell have cars without indicators as none of them use them anyway

I had a 1.6 TDCI Ford Fiesta Zetec Mk6 55 plate until earlier this year when I needed to sell it for my wedding. I used to keep it immaculate, I spent literally hundreds of pounds on Meguiars cleaning products and even did some tiny modifications to it too... I put the bigger colour coded Mk6.5 Fiesta ST mirrors on it, fitted the much nicer Mk6.5 Fiesta Zetec S seats, I had the Zetec S alloys with low profile tires on too but I didn't like the handling from them so I replaced them with the smaller 14" Mk6.5 Ghia alloys. They made it handle like a go-kart! I also fitted a pioneer cd mp3 ipod radio with a lovely oled blue display and a pioneer under seat sub and amp (not to have chav music blasting out but just to make the sound quality much better than the stock radio) I also replaced all of the blue ford badges (even the one on the steering wheel) with carbon fibre effect gel ford badges. I also had professionally fit Xenon HID headlights (road legal - not the cheap ebay kits which blind) LED side lights, ultra bright LED fog lights and LED number plate lights. All the bulbs were 4500k which is nearly pure white, she really did look the dogs dangles at night. It only cost £30 a year for road tax and would do around 500 miles all day long from a full 40ltrs. Never had and problems with her... really miss having my car. The worst thing is, I saw her twice last week over by Ilkley... the new owners have already managed to break one of the wing mirrors and she didn't have that shine she used to have... I could have cryed if my daughter wasn't with me at the time lol. I'll try and find a few pictures soon. (I didn't actually go to that wall, just a bit of photoshop I did. Also, that pic was taken before I put my new wheels on) I'm after a 06-11 plate Honda Civic ES 2.2ltr diesel in that metallic blue next. They have everything I want already as standard and are actually cheap to run.
