I'll try once more............ I sold this a month ago............. & replaced it with this................... I don't like change.................... Done my bit with all the "passion wagons", although a double mattress fits perfect in the back of this one.............. Had to sell the top one, as the ashtray was full up with sweet wrappers............ You know you can empty the ashtray, Right?

hazzaeya declare your mods mate if you do it as if your involved in an accident and your car is checked over you may find your insurance is void for neglecting to declare them. Also you'd be wide open to prosecution, more so if injuries we're involved. And we all know how rife whiplash claims are now. Theres some decent modified insurance specialists. I'm with Adrian Flux and the difference was about £75'ish, but for peace of mind and covering ur ass, pun intended, it's worth it. Jay

Rover 75 2.0 Diesel CDT, leather seats + all the toys. 150k on the clock, Im averaging 45mpg around town 55mpg on a run. Had it around 5 years, never let me down & passed every MOT, its had a couple of new tyres & battery since Ive owned it. Lovely car to drive & Im wondering what to replace it with when it dies (many years in the future I hope )

I have a 2005 Citroen C4 (Coupe) 1.6 VTS sport (AKA a sack of Poop of a french car!)
and 1999 Suzuki XF650 Motorbike (Adventure / offroad) Not my usual style which would be supersports but for now that is out of the picture

Hi 2005 Chevrolet Kalos automatic with full electric pack. I bought it in Dec 06 with 7000 on the clock and now, 7 years later it is on 21000. All I've had to buy for it is 2 front tyres and 3 wiper blades. The only downside is the high tax. Phil

I do a 70 mile commute now, tho we all work in the same area, so we usually car share.

Some piccies of my motas. All of them great in their own way I've always tried to get cars that are good driver cars. Saxo VTR/ VTS Both cars induction kits, Stainless full systems with decats, lowered 50mm. Cornered like on rails on the VTS went like a scalded cat as well Nissan 300ZX Twin turbo Lovely and comfy with some useable power but drank like a fish, wobbled on corners and had shite brakes. Rover 620Ti Same engine as the Rover Coupe (Tomcat) same reliability as an Italian supercar. Was a lovely drive and with 200BHP was tidy on the straights as well... corners... no... Cliosport 172 (Mk1) Bonkers, faster than a fox in a forest fire and so badly beaten by the previous owner it was shagged Was one of the rare ones with aluminium bonnet and shift light as well! Tinted windows were stripped off by me and I never got round to putting sensible wheels on it before I sold it for the Mondy. Pug 205GTi 1.9 Shagged but fun... end of. Pug GTi16 Excellent car that couldn't turn right but was professionally tweaked and pretty reliable as well. MR2 Turbo Bonkers, bonkers and utterly loony! Was once owned by a Jap racing team that sold it in liquidation and it got exported to the UK. Put out more BHP than it needed on full boost and had a hybrid turbo, gas flowed and ported head as well as suspension mods. Did about 16mpg on full boost but it was epically quick! The Mondy 167BHP, sounds lovely, all the toys and very reliable as well as comfy. Drives and corners well.

lol funnily enough part of the reason I bought one was a few years before my Red Saxo at the top, parked in the back end of a Rover 600 at about 30mph. The Saxo was a couple of feet shorter with the bonnet folded up infront of the windscreen and the Rover had a bent tailpipe lol

I have 2 cars.. and OH has 2 as well.
Mercedes 190E in dark red, called Charlie. F reg, 2.0L. petrol. 78.000 miles. had it for 8 years. Got this car after my first car Mercedes 190E white called Mindy (loved this car) ,I got hit by a breakdown truck with a 4x4 on the back. but because I wasn't hurt and the car was abit bent (I had to get another one.) when I called the RAC to recover me,, guess who they sent,, yes the same breakdown recovery truck that hit me.. One way of getting business me thinks..
Plus I have a Range Rover classic in dark red . K reg, 3.9L petrol, 158.000 miles had this for 3 years. got this car because I couldn't get to work if it was icy or snowy in the Mercedes as it's rear wheel drive. so got a 4x4. Love the hight while driving love seeing over other cars. Drinks petrol. and abit smelly like a wet dog when it rains, but still love driving it..
