So what car do you drive?

[stringvest]

you need one of those Tatras above Fuge

[General Dryness]

Fancied something a bit more powerful than my Mazda 6, so I've just traded it in for one of these. Comfortable too. Like driving a really fast couch.

 

[Trumo]

I'm thinking of investing in a 4x4 next time. This is solely due to the fact that half the places I go fishing have shit access roads or paths and are destroying my suspension and undercarriage. Fucking Pot holes bigger than impact craters from an astroid strike.

 

Those are fishing lakes squire.

Mate of mine had a Talbot Horizon when I was in my teens. Easily one of the shittest cars I've ever seen, an absolute tank.

 

Another had an FSO Polonez, and sold it due to the abuse he took. The driver of the above was cool enough to revel in it's shitness and drove it for years and years, even taking birds out in it.

 

The parents of a lass I used to knock around with when we were about 15 had a Yugo, or as we used to call it, "The Yugo, I'll stay".

I did my first few driving lessons in a Yugo back in 85.

A bin on wheels.

[Trumo]

Any Yugo is still better than a 90s Nissan Micra shitbox.

[RoboRiise]

I drive a 17 year old Fiat Punto and I give no fucks because I am one alpha motherfucker.

[skend04]

52 plate Ford Focus Ghia. Heated windscreen and an armrest for the driver. Puny, but its a rest all the same. Well over the 100k mark now and apart from the odd whining noise at 70-80 and a leaking foot well and a rumble when breaking its going strong.

I actually passed my test in an 80s Micra. It wasnt as bad a car as those that followed.

[Preston Red]

08 Mondeo Edge. Tis lovely because I've only just got it and I'm riding round like a motherfucker who is smoother that a silkworms fart.

My brother has a Y reg focus 2.0 petrol with 198,000 miles on the clock and it's still going strong. The windows in the pack are wedged in place with golf tees but apart from that and some rust it's grand.

I drive an Audi A6 estate.  Which now has a big fuck off load of scratches down the left side due to my haste in parking up so I could get to the pub before the game yesterday.  

[lifetime fan]

Some prick in work has reversed into mine and not even had the decency to admit it to me. Cunts.

If you ever sell it make sure you mention it's had 3 of the best looking TLW members in it.

Four, if you include Nightcat in the boot.

Ha ha!

Just bought a brown, automatic estate.

Fucking hell Tom, I remember when you were considering buying a Porsche 356 replica.  How the mighty are fallen.

[Nunavut Patrick]

I am going car shopping in two weeks.

 

 

I would rather join nightcat in the boot than deal with car salesman.

[Section_31]

Got a Honda Civic, 2005 but only 48k on the clock, absolutely mint. My mate had one and I always wanted that model. Leather seats that warm up without me even having to fart. I've named it Edmund after E Honda.

[stringvest]

Hondas are boss

As far as positive racism goes, I'll never have a non Jap car again. My Mitsubishi was like a tank.

 

Rented a Merc recently and I was suprised that it didn't really drive any different. I think new cars are like mobile phones now, they've plateaud in termes of their quality, so when a new one comes out they've just got added bells and whistles, but inside they're probably all pretty similar.

 

In the 80s a Merc and a Ford probably would have been a lifetime apart in terms of engine and build quality, these days I bet they're not, the Merc probably just has a heated windscreen and two, rather than one, radio dials.

in fact, the Merc won't have a heated windscreen and the Ford will - they've had them for decades.  I've had two Hondas - a Civic VTEC thing, from new around 1994ish I think - a fab car  - I did 50,000 miles in it and not a single thing wrong.  Then when the kids came along, I got a Honda Shuttle (not many of them sold here, but it was the most practical child barge you could get) - had that for 120,000 miles, again not a single thing went wrong with it until the other half ripped the oil sump off it by driving over a boulder, then carried on driving it so the gearbox was fucked and the car was dead.  In between, a combination of Mercs and Audis, all with problems small and large.  

 

Stick with Honda.

So he's in the boot of a car on a boat that is tailing a bigger boat around the South China Sea?

[Captain Turdseye]

A 52 plate blue Vauxhall Zafira, complete with Hello Kitty window covers to keep the sun out of the baby's eyes.

 

Gangster.

Drove all the way home from Speke in this yesterday with the engine management light on. My bird took it to get fixed and got given a newish Megane to use in the meantime. I want to smash it up, haven't had my license for long and have never driven a car that new. Went to Sainsburys in it last night. I had to come back into the house and ask my bird how to start it, then I stalled it three times on a roundabout before getting locked out of the fucking thing and having to walk home.

 

Got a job interview this afternoon and I'll be going in a taxi.
