Nice V8S. I had one a few years ago, in Cooper Green. Lovely car it was too. One of those that I sold and wish I hadn't.Originally Posted by BrianT
This was one of mine a few years ago, yes it is the V8 version.
My current fleet consists of a lowly Focus 1.6 Zetec which I use for commuting duties, a Skoda Octavia estate for family trips and an old Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo (tweaked and running 320bhp) as a weekend toy.
We have a boring passat tdi and boring golf tdi. Then i bought this as a Sunday car recently. I can't believe how much car it is for the money, I am really loving it.
S2K is fun Olli, I had a test drive in one c2003ish I think. I am like an excited little boy today, collecting my new 997 Carrera S in the morning and can't wait!
997 - Beautiful car! Hope to get one one day! Please post pics when you pick it up!
Drive a nissan quashqai... not too bad actually!
I was going to say what car until I saw this lot here. They make my car look like a load of crap to be honest so I`ll just have to keep dreaming i guess.
Currently have an Audi A6 SLine company hack and just replaced the wife's 987 Boxster S with an Audi A4 SLine to accommodate the impending new arrival.

Yeah - I've got a pair of those heavy boots too.... :)This at the moment, however not for long at 8mpg :(
Jaguar XKR. I've had this for four years and I've no plans to change it, even though running it doesn't make financial sense - 13 MPG!
Absolutely stunning. One of my all time favourites. I grew up wanting one of these . Still as beautiful as ever.Jaguar XKR. I've had this for four years and I've no plans to change it, even though running it doesn't make financial sense - 13 MPG!

Box is a Touareg, my worst purchase ever.....
It was the new M6, awesome bit of kit, brutally fast. I have driven the 640d too and that is also a lovely drive and in day to day driving more than fast enough.
My daily driver is still my A3 2.0 TDI SLine Quattro uprated to 220bhp. I had a pic in the thread but its gone.
I recently bought a part completed camper conversion VW T4 and now have this. some pics are part way through the conversion and some when completed.
My 1972 GT Junior 1600 going around Monza and I think its beautiful engine.

Bellissimo!

E89 BMW Z4....possibly going for a new boxster......
I'm sure the person who lives in that house would love me too but I'm not that keen ;)
This has been very good to have this rather severe winter
Easily sits six persons and is very nice both on- and offroad.
Im 6.4 and this is the first motor, that Im really comfortable driving.
I have a roof tent, but find it ironic, that I use a tent on top of a vehicle already equipped with a telescopic roof section.
Cutting a hole in the roof of an brand new motor and installing the telescopic roof how ever had to be done in order to shave 50-60K off the price of the vehicle which already cost twice that.
There is practically no where this wont go, though of course the running boards/step puts some limitations on the fun and games. The vehicle can be lifted and Im quite surprised, how steep an incline such a heavy vehicle will defeat even when its running on mud or ice.
I got a Mercedes c250 in October and love it- need to get some more pics sorted but here's one from when it snowed

There's a car under there somewhere!
A 3-series for the everyday commute and family duties and this lump of orange from the '70s at the weekend

And the inside is even more '70s

This one still here.
Had this exactly a month now and I'm still loving every minute!

If all goes to plan, I'll be collecting this on Friday ...
A BMW 325i - After 10 years of sensible, tax efficient, economical oil burners I'm really looking forward to revving up the lovely, smooth BMW straight six - the 100 mile drive home won't be any where near long enough

Had this for couple of months now but still grin everytime I drive it on my own... needless to say MPG doesn't go well above 15mpg when I'm out and about ;-)
Is that the earlier 4.2 variant? I'm thinking of getting a 3.0 version of this which supposedly has better mpg.
The Veloster looks amazing... odd name though. What a Hot Rod.
Should've went with the 330i – little to no difference in economy, more poke, and similar costs for putting it on the road.If all goes to plan, I'll be collecting this on Friday ...

It's a used car, so it might be difficult to compare.... If its a pippin, with the right spec, the lower power is less relevant (IMO of course!)
Agreed - but I got a very good deal on a 1 owner, correct spec. 325i. And it's already a big improvement on the 2.0TDI (140bhp) A6. So, for now i'm happy enough with a 325i. But thanks for the suggestion. Maybe next time. ;)

There are probably taller on this forum, but I'm 6ft 6... Didn't really fit too well into some of the cars I liked - GT86, nope - Boxster, bit of a squeeze but just do-able (potential engine issues scared me away from these!), SLK - Nope, MX5 - see Boxster but even more of a squeeze...
I have a colleague the same height.
He drives a previous generation B Class - he reckons it's one of the few cars he can fit in comfortably.

the only vehicle for driving to whykickamoocow! if you saw the price of landies you'd know why
Had a clear run back from Heathrow to Glos last night - & managed just over 38mpg - & I wasn't being careful/frugal. I'm amazed - maybe it was a 'sensible' decision after allIf all goes to plan, I'll be collecting this on Friday ...

Thanks for the interest and kind words guys. Here's a couple of shots that show some of the engineering detail that lies under the aluminium body panels

You have a fantastic NSX there and may I say you keep it in incredible condition. Have you polished around the engine ? Most cars have a less than perfect finish in the engine bay. Very impressed with the overall finish of you car. Can I also ask what products you use. Autoglym, Meguiars ?
Thanks for sharing with us.
This is our current "family" car - Ford Fusion Sport.
This is likely to be PX'd for Mrs Bond's choice of vehicle next - Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, which is fine as I like them as well and we need AWD for the winter here. And in approx 18mths, I get my choice and our faithful Ford Focus ST will be PX'd against a new 2015 Ford Mustang
That's not mine bud I was quoting the poster, I wish it was mine!!
Some lovely cars in this thread, a very boring 3series BMW here.
