What Car Do You Drive (Other Than Van?)

[R1CKY]

One of my all time favourite cars, especially in that combination! I'm a huge Ford fan, especially if it has a Cosworth badge on it (Scorpio being the exception!!)

 

[Leo21]

Now that's how a ford should be.

 

[R1CKY]

Yes, until someone sticks a Vauxhall engine in one! Heathen!!!

At least it won't break down. Cheap power.

The other car is a Ford, Grand C Max.

The wife chose it. It's her car, not mine!

I used to keep a bike for my personal bit of fun, but haven't had one for the past couple of years.

We change cars every 4 years, and I've promised myself I will lend a hand in choosing the next car. I HATE driving that people carrier, so much.

Get a high powered estate. I REALLY don't see the advantage of people carriers over a car with a decent boot.

I will mate, if I can afford one. For the past 3 cars, we've financed and traded in at the balloon payment and then got another Ford. But as we've had kids, the cars have got less and less interesting.

This current car is 2 years old. So 2 more years to go. There is nothing nice about driving it....seriously not one thing. Well the air con is nice in the summer. There I found 1 thing.

Ah yeah, that's how they get you! I got my last car on lease, 2 years then got rid, would do it again.

 

[Dannypipe]

Yeah, I will lease my next one I think. I've been in the trap for a good while now.

To be perfectly honest I was thinking about getting a pimp, black range rover sport. They fall out of bed second hand, and you can get a really nice one for the same money as I paid for the Ford, but about 3 years old.

I know people hate em, but I quite enjoy driving like an A hole.

 

[Leo21]

You won't like the fuel bill.

 

[Dannypipe]

That's what everyone say's Leo, and no doubt you are right.

It's all a pipe dream anyway. The wife will probably end up talking me into something even worse than the people carrier. I'll be driving an electric car next, with a photo of a Range Rover under the sun visor.

 

[R1CKY]

FFS Danny no!! Last thing we need is more Land Rover bores on this site!!

 

[Leo21]

Mate of mine had one, tattooist. Loads of disposable income, he traded it for a 335d.

 

[Dannypipe]

I wish I had loads of disposable income...I haven't checked my Euro Millions lottery ticket yet.

If I've won, I'm buying a Ferrari and a helicopter....and a boat, a big one!!

I've got my commercial, but I don't use it. My work van is provided to me, a Dispatch.

My car used to be a Renault Sport Clio 197 (hence the username) but I now have a Mazda 3 MPS and a Peugeot 307 HDi for the missus to get about in.
