I hope my new thread sounds not mad ...If yes Im feeling sorry :-[
Ive started this coz our oldest son was really in love with cars since he was very young so his 1 word was not Mum or Dad it was Auto .. ) Im sorry about my poor english not my mother language ) So now he is 22 ears old the last 5 years he was driving a Renault Clio he made some reallyhis cool tuning about his car his car is 15 years old but his car is not safe anymore its scrap metal :o :o :o
So our son brought a new Renault Clio 3 I think .....
My husband and I are driving a Peugeot RCZ love it :) what kind of car are you driving ?
-
Ah, it's a good idea for a thread, Witch.
I'm driving Renault Kangoo. Registered to a van. 1,5 dci motor (diesel). Built in 2006 so it's an old model nowadays. I've had it 4 years now and I've driven 100 000km's in that period. (Total 140 000km's)
My wife has a Nissan Micra, 2006 year also. She has much shorter distance to work than I. She's been talking lately about getting a new car (possibly a bigger one) and she likes them alot in general. :)

Don't drive, never have probably never will. Don't feel I've missed out on anything really, yeah sometimes it would be good to drive wherever but I've got this far in life without it. There are always trains buses taxis and other people. Think I'm too much a scatter brain who lacks concentration and road is safer place without me. Costs way too much money anyway insurance road tax petrol maintenance and that's after you've spent a few grand for something half decent. I can always claim to be doing my bit for the environment.
I am the passenger !

I haven't had a car in about eight years... which is odd because I always had one from the age of 18 until then...
It's just too expensive nowadays... and public transport serves me just fine....
-
Never driven. Never owned a car. Doesn't get me out of buying a car though as my wife and son drive :(
-
Cars..I love cars. I love driving...I love roadtrips - you get the picture. ;)
I am driving a Ford Kuga - nice and comfy and big enough for my dogs as well as for transporting all the stuff I need to by (and dispose of) for the rest of my critters. ::)

A little silver Nissan Almeria 1.5
Anyone else got the car sticker in their back window? 8)
-
Nooo, mine is on the back door of the house ( I took it out of the old car when it went for scrap) I haven't got round to putting it in it's rightful place yet.
Will sort that out tomorrow.
Thanks for reminding me Anna.

No, because I don't have any back windows! Mine's in the bottom left corner of my van's window. You'll know me if you see me!
-
Once I ordered car stickers along with other stuff but I received normal stickers. :)
I think it doesn't bother and maybe they just didn't have them at the time. Also, it could be I ordered wrong stickers too.

Blimey Red - you should have auditioned for Top Gear :)

After spending about 20yrs on bikes only - I now drive an old Volvo S40 automatic.
Not as much fun as the bike but gets both kids in, can listen to the stereo and I can stay dry when it's raining.

i didnt learn to drive until i was 25. i had lived in the city all my life so walked/cycled/bussed it everywhere. it wasnt until i moved on the road as a new age traveller that i felt i had to learn and it was one of the best things ive ever done. i absolutely love driving. the first car i bought was a w-reg bmw 316 saloon. it did 0-60 in 9 seconds, would sit at 120mph all day and the fastest i had it was 135 and still increasing. at that point i shit myself lol. the fastest car ive ever driven was my mates turbo saab which i drove from seeing NMA at northampton to a party in nottingham, in just under 40 mins -which is very naughty as i must have averaged 140 all the way.that was when i attempted to "close my eyes and count to ten" but bottled it at about 6 lol. i have never had a license as part of the fun of being a traveller was living completely without regard for the law and as i have never voluntarily given a policeman my real name i didnt see the need. now i'm back in the city i dont drive again.of this i'm glad as i would like to live as long as possible and cycling everywhere is definitely healthier.

Note to self == if eastmidswhizzkid ever offers a lift, politely refuse :o

Regarding Saab cars I saw once an investigation about their speed. There was compared their maximum speed of all the different Saab models. Not a wonder Saab used to be one of the classic cop cars.
-
Had a Saab once - picked it up from a Farmer for £90 after my car died in front of his field gate. Twas a brilliant motor.
-
None yet. Cant afford one. But dying to get out. As some will know I only passed my test in November. Went out for a couple of hours with my old instructor today and loved it

Vauxhall Astra. 2 NMA stickers in the back window. Passed today on the M5 Northbound by a Vauxhall Corsa with NMA sticker on the back. Nice to have 'speedily' met you. ;D
-
A 1992 Suzuki Vitara. 350.000 kms on the clock and still going strong. I don't know anyone here who doesn't own a car. There is no public transport in rural New Zealand and it's 5km to the nearest shop, 30km to the nearest supermarket and 70km to the nearest proper town. The roads are steep and windy so cycling is hard going and bloody dangerous.

Our son brought his second car
A Renault Clio GT
he is very happy about his car 8)

I used to have a Vauxhall Astra. It was a great car and never let me down. I sold it a couple of years ago to my mate who needed it much more than I did. I've never driven since and have realised that I just don't actually need a car. I live in the city so I am okay. I'm sure if I lived somewhere that wasn't as well served by public transport I would think differently.
All the best,
Johnny

I never bothered to get my driving licence at 17.
At 45 why should I now?
It has not limited me in any way, I have travelled the world, and, I intend to keep doing so.
I would go far as to say that a driving licence may inhibit travel. As you have been taught how to be lazy.
Thanks
