Where are the ferraris & lamborghinis? I thought plumbers made 100k a year... The average car seems to be a Astra!

Okay, Stop with the IM NOT COMMERCIAL, I didn't know if you self employed types would buy another car (i guess if i was in your shoes i would just keep me van!)
 
Bit of a strange one aswell, Most seem to have astras and thats what I've just got rid of!

most of the parts come out of the ford parts bin, indicator stalks, door locks etc etc. Sad really as they could have looked really good but when they are parked next to a fiesta there are so many similar bits:( I only know this as my cousin has a mate on the Aston design team and they test drive them at goodwood sometimes and we had a look at the prototype he had, and all the ford bits were only on the prototype supposedly, but it seems they stayed on the production model as well!!!!!!
 
My everyday car is a citreon whatever the **** it is big silver van. It starts when i want it to, it never breaks down. i can smoke my head off and never miss the ashtray floor, plenty space for a hump, i can bump into things without gaf, i don't need to wash it, i can park it anywhere, it is fully tax deductible and costs nothing to insure tax or refuel.
My other car is a land rover but it is pysh because she makes the rules for that and it costs ÂŁ50 quid of diesel to go to the shop so i don't drive it!
 
Kia sportage, now three years old still got four years warranty left.
 
Audi a5 s line sport back 2.7 diesel
Mr2 turbo track day car
Escort mark 2 1600 sport (being restored)
 
I drive my birds 3 door Ka, when you see a midget like me getting out of a car that small it does make me feel quite silly so then I have to do some press ups or something to make me feel manly again
 
Hyundai I10, ÂŁ20 per year road tax, ÂŁ150 insurance Mmmmmmmmm,

I hate spending money on cars, good luck to anyone who loves them
How you find Hyundai ? We had one as courtesy car for 2 weeks missus loved it so been tempted by i20 and i30
 
My mums getting a i30 soon, you do the press ups of the bonnet to make your self look extra macho;)
 
BMW 318ti msport for drifting/my daily when not in the van.
Subaru impreza sti ra for the track (in bits atm)
Merc C63 amg, wifes car.
 
We have an s max for the family and I have a sierra sapphire cosworth, it puts a grin on my face when I drive it.
 
I would usually take the mick out of someone owning a Peugeot, cause to be fair a lot of them are for hairdressers, but the most fun car I've owned so far was an old 205. what a little rocket.
 
She's a self employed management consultant and earns more than me, I get to drive it fuel bill free so it's all good!

We met through a car club and are obviously both petrolheads. Her last 3 cars have been v8s. I don't complain!

Oh, she can drive it like it should be driven too!
