So what do you drive ?
Didnt see this around so decided to plop it in 
I just recently got a 1.9 TDi 105BHP Jetta Black Comfort Line 
Not a great picture from the office
Have the Fogs and Cruise control at the moment, fairly decent car! Im going remapping the ecu to 150bhp soon. Used to have a Golf TDi 110 chipped to 130 Rocketship!!
So whats everyone else drive these days ?

one of those themes that keeps cropping up from time to time, although it's been a while since the last one!
I'll make it sticky this time
So, between us me and Aly (aka The Wife) have a Quantum H4i which is Aly's main commuting car, 1800cc Zetec powered by LPG, a Vincent Hurricane which Aly bought anout 12 years ago and is an absolut blast to drive- not huge power or amazing handling but great open motoring fun!
The 'sensible family vehicle' is a Toyota Previa which last year replaced our much loved 1984 Granada.
I was going to tell you about my Dutton Melos but that dosn't count because it's in bits

Just the 1 Garcon, and its 2 years old im afraid. The pic was taken before I could drive the car. (long story). Still, it looks pretty much the same now as it did back then, a pretty tidy car for its age. IMO.

I'm driving a Ford BA Falcon wagon (estate), to fill in a few details for you UK folk it's a 4.0L 6cyl with 182kW (~240hp) and 380Nm torque, 4sp auto. It's big (>5m long) and goes (reasonably) fast but doesn't use too much fuel, approx 11L/100km or 26mpg average with more city than hwy driving. I haven't timed a 0-60 but it should be under 8sec comfortably even with quite a tall first gear. Even though it is the base model it has cruise, a/c, power front windows, power drivers seat, trip computer & other useful stuff.

K reg 1.4 Vauxhall Astra, it's not what you got, but what you do with it. Real fun embarassing people who buy a car for what it can do for their image, rather than what it can do for them.
But that's a poor man talking.

Was the Evo in the pic co-incidental?
I gotta say I keep seeing Legacy's about and they are classy looking machines.
As for me, Fiesta Zetec-S TDCi -
