What car do you drive/own?
Personally I dont drive to my disabilty, but my girlfriend does, and with some advice from me on how to take corners etc she's become a very erm, fast driver lol, just as well the car has 225mm tyres huh. So I was just wondering what car everyone drives, personally we have a 1989 MK3 24v 3.0ltr turbo Toyota Supra - only 102,000 miles on the clock, and on a 3.0ltr thats nothing. Yes I know its a old car, but it still goes like **** off a shovel, and we are on a budget, fastest car on the market for £2,000 for a great condition version like ours - although u can pick them up for about £1,300 in good condition, but with say 140,000 miles on the clock.

Skoda Faboa estate. It aint exactly glamorous but it's given me a year of perfect service, and drives surprisingly nicely.

2003 Subaru Impreza Sportwagon.
Might be swapping it for a Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec B in a couple of months or so. Kinda depends on whether I've still got a job...
I've had four new Subarus over the years. Except for servicing, I've never had to take one back to the dealer, not even for the lightest niggle. Between them, they have provided me with absolutely blemish-free service for a total of around 100,000 miles. There are very few marques from whom you can expect that kind of reliability and quality. And all of them are Japanese.

I've got an Opel (Vauxhall for you Brits) Corsa 1.2 Swing.
It gets to 110 kph without trembling too much, it has 65 hp and it's 12 years old. And it's my first car, I paid for it 800 euros, just three months ago. As a matter of fact, I got my license in July and it costed me 1650 euros. So the car was a good deal (from my sister!)
And it has a Jacques Villeneuve sticker.

I have an 85 BMW 323i with a rather serious DING on the drivers side (ok, by DING I mean the b-pillar is bent and both doors are caved in). So as soon as I find permanent employment, she will be replaced.

i have a 2001 renaultsport clio 2.0litre. it's dark green with artistic streaks of donington mud up the side. it needs a wash and a new passenger windscreen wiper. it's called squirt. or joe, because of the numberplate.
i've had bmw's and a vw before that, and i don't know what i'm after next.

I own a Ford Falcon XR8 ute 2001 model. I bought it to transport my beloved kart and dirt bike around and i have alot of fun it especially in the back.
It's very thirsty on fuel so when i put my foot down you can watch the fuel gauge slowly creep down and it's a very good sideways car if you Know what i mean.
