So what car do you drive?

[stringvest]

Cheers Chevettehs - I knew you wouldn't disappoint!

[Major Tom]

I drive a fucking big car. A big fucking blue one.

[Chairman Meow]

Actually,quite interesting.

 

Used to love the Ford Granadas of the 70s and particularly the GXL or GLX.

I believe they were 3.5 or 3.6 litre engines but not really sure as not a car buff.

 

 

 

3 litre I think.  

 

Mk1 Granada was 3.0 Essex V6 as the top of the line motor. In South Africa they did Peranas which had a big V8 in it. They did a load of stuff like that with Cortinas and Capris as well in SA.

 

Mk2 was the 2.8 Cologne V6 as the big motor. 

 

Mk2 Granada is probably my favourite ever car as a daily driver, like driving a big V6 armchair. This is the last one I had, a 2.8 Ghia X Estate, heated seats, electric everything, air con etc. I sold it about 4 years ago, would love another one.

 

 

Another one, if you look carefully you can just about make out the front end of my Mk2 Escort.

 

 

And the first one I owned. 2.8 Ghia in Glacier Blue, the photos really don't do justice to the colour, it looked gorgeous in the flesh. Was my daily driver when I was 19 years old.

 

 

Give it time and I may just start breaking out photos of the V6 transit we had. 

 

I drive a fucking big car. A big fucking blue one.

 

We all have to compensate somehow, hence my love of A6's and big old Granadas.

[Major Tom]

Haha!

 

I know nothing about cars at all. I genuinely have no idea what an A6 or a big old Granada is. 'Genuinely' is pushing it actually as I'd guess an A6 is actually an Audi?

 

I actually drive a small, silver car. A Hyundai.

[stringvest]

I prefer not to divulge my wheels.  People will only laugh.  

[Major Tom]

Come on, stringy. You're way past peer pressure.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Are you talking about the silver one? I think I've got a picture of it here. Ah, yes, here it is...

 

[stringvest]

Come on, stringy. You're way past peer pressure.

 

No Tom.  I couldn't bear it if someone off the internet poked fun at my steed.

[stringvest]

Are you talking about the silver one? I think I've got a picture of it here. Ah, yes, here it is...

 

 

Bastard.  I knew someone would have that picture.  Illegally parked as well.

[Major Tom]

Are you talking about the silver one? I think I've got a picture of it here. Ah, yes, here it is...

 

 

Hahahaha.

 

Funny stuff, NV.

[Major Tom]

No Tom.  I couldn't bear it if someone off the internet poked fun at my steed.

 

Fair enough.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Hahahaha.

 

Funny stuff, NV.

It's a goer. He gets up to several hours per mile on that thing.

[Chairman Meow]

Haha!

A big old Granada is one of those square things I posted above, from the era when all that was required to design a cars was a set square. 

 

An A6 is indeed an Audi, you know those big German things that sit about an inch away from your rear bumper on the motorway. 

 

Hyundai you say? It just so happens I may have several bits in stock as a result of a recent auction trip. 

[Chairman Meow]

Are you talking about the silver one? I think I've got a picture of it here. Ah, yes, here it is...

 

 

The wheels are different sizes side to side, that'll handle like a bag of shite. 

[setreal]

I just hope stringy makes his own engine sounds while taking that thing to town.

[stringvest]

It does mate.  I only take it out when I'm on a circular route.

[stringvest]

I just hope stringy makes his own engine sounds while taking that thing to town.

 

and beep beep noises

[Chairman Meow]

Stringy is actually rocking a fairly powerful ride these days. 

 

Here he is trying to catch the post man before he buggers off with this weeks delivery of incontinence pants. 

 

[Chairman Meow]

Saying as we are taking the piss. Here is my manly pink BMW that I'm currently looking very dapper in. Complete with bonus A6 in the background. 

 

 

Also looking splendid after a day being ragged around Blyton race circuit for an Autosolo on Saturday. 

 

[stringvest]

fuck me!  that's what you call mobility!  I'll be able to get up to about 50 in the Sainsbury's fruit and veg aisle on that.  

 

What about the Postman Pat van though?  

[Chairman Meow]

Theres some great little mental cars about these days.

 

Fiat 126 with a Chevy V8 anyone?

 

 

My brain still can't comprehend it. 

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

The wheels are different sizes side to side, that'll handle like a bag of shite.

Fucking clueless. It's the nascar version.

[stringvest]

I like that.  You'd probably have to forsake the 50mpg from the original car though.

[Chairman Meow]

Fucking clueless. It's the nascar version.

 

Bugger, everyone will see through my facade now and realise I'm just making this shit up as I go now. 

 

 

I like that.  You'd probably have to forsake the 50mpg from the original car though.

 

 

I've got a hankering to do a bike engined Trabant but current space issues mean it's a non starter right now.
