What Car Do You Drive (Other Than Van?)

[HTG-Apprentice]

This mainly applies to commercial lads really, but if your not and you have a car anyway, what is it?
If you just got a van then don't worry lol

 

[REDSAW]

a toyota 4x4 lol

 

[Rickster123]

I drive an s-type jag. But I'm not commercial!

 

[TomLane]

I drive the missus' Astra! I drive it like I stole it as its not mine!

Calm down dear, I'm not commercial either!

 

[dancinplumba]

Am not worrying 🙂

 

[Bunker]

I have an x type estate and a Landy Series III hybrid, oh and couple of Harley's and an Armstrong. 🙂

 

[dancinplumba]

Honest 🙂

 

[TBServices]

I drive a BMW 530i M-Sport Touring, and I'm not commercial.

 

[Dotty]

I am commercial.

And my non workhorse is an astra too.

 

[TBServices]

Vauxhalls disgust me. I demand you get rid of it tomorrow morning.

I thought you had style JC?

 

[kirkgas]

I have an xf Jaguar, its a diesel but its a 3L V6 and I love it

 

[Dotty]

Vauxhalls disgust me. I demand you get rid of it tomorrow morning.

When we win the lotto it's going part ex for a DB9.....

 

[TBServices]

When we win the lotto it's going part ex for a DB9.....

I like the optimism!

 

[Dotty]

I like the optimism!

It's what keeps me sane!

 

[lame plumber]

discovery, and the missus now has a modus (daughters cast off as no one else but me would buy it), funny little thing to drive much like my old kangoo van but with windows

 

[TomLane]

Love these willy waving threads!

Anyone been to Elevenerife recently?!?!

 

[Dotty]

I've never been a gear head. I tend to get more excited over camping gear than motors. Long as it gets me from a to b is all I worry.

 

[Kyle87]

I have an Astra too but my Astra is my van at the mo. times are hard..... But so am I lol

 

[Meady]

Im not Commercial, but I drive a VW Golf gti. It's automatic though as the missus can't get the hang of a manual 🙂

 

[SimonG]

Drive the wife's focus (automatic). Gets from a to b and she loves it. More of a practical than show person.

 

[fubar1000]

I HAD a lovely ford mondeo 2.0 tdci 140ph titanium X in black with black windows....

Then it got stolen :mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:

 

[R1CKY]

I don't have a car 🙁 Technically I do, but I refuse to drive it! Its a Citroen C1!!! It is my girlfriends car that I pay for!

Saving my pennies for either a BMW 330i Touring or a Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon, its killing me not having a car!

 

[julesverne]

I drive a peugeot 206 gti 180 with full body kit tinted windows and loud exhaust its pretty fast cost a fortune to run but its fast as **** and at 41 years of age i should know better but i dont care.

Btw im not commercial

Saving up for a scooby or skyline.

 

[Roger Welton]

The other half's berlingo multispace, which is just a van with windows really

 

[moogwai]

I brought the wife a hyundai santa fe 4 years ago when she was expecting our lad..... Was a good idea at the time, want to get rid now!

 

[villa_tom]

I don't have a car. I don't need one. My van does me fine. Plus when I'm out I can't be used as a taxi as I've only got one seat.

IM NOT COMMERCIAL.

 

[Reg Man]

Main car is a BMW 320D tourer, Fair weather car Toyota MR2 MKII, Brit spec T/bar roof.

 

[Alpha man]

[Ray Stafford]

I brought the wife a hyundai santa fe 4 years ago when she was expecting our lad..... Was a good idea at the time, want to get rid now!

I've got a Santa Fe, and think its a brilliant car. Why are you getting rid?

 

[mitchellcook]

I'm not commercial, and it's not a car, but it is my second motor:grin:

 

[stoker122]

View attachment 11907

Looks like fun 🙂

 

[moogwai]

I've got a Santa Fe, and think its a brilliant car. Why are you getting rid?

The road tax is higher on it cos of the emissions due to it being permanent 4wd, it rolls like a tank and the misses cant see over the 2 bubble wings it has and tends to hit things so it costs me to get it repaired!! The new ones look far superior.

 

[Whn1]

Until last week I had an Audi tt roadster and I used to drive around, roof down, wind in my hair playing Kylie minogue songs.. Ahhhh bliss. But it spent 90% of its life sat parked p so I sold it.

 

[Barry98]

Just the Landy and the Bentley

 

[negas]

bmw 730 (now well into the middle age bracket so comfort uppermost)

 

[kirkgas]

My son is going to buy a Lambo Aventador, but he's waiting on the price dropping to "about £200k" for the year he wants haha

 

[fubar1000]

[TBServices]

I'll take you.

 

[R1CKY]

I've a van with 64 bhp and a car with three cylinders and 69 bhp! What do you think!!!

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

I've a van with 64 bhp and a car with three cylinders and 69 bhp! What do you think!!!

think you will be a dot in the mirrors LOL,was toying with a bigger turbo pushing it to 200bhp but that would mean a uprated clutch and now the wifes having the car theres no point

 

[Resolute]

I've an Astra SXI, but the misses uses it more then me. I only seem to get to drive it when the petrol tank needs filling or it's due a service!

 

[TBServices]

think you will be a dot in the mirrors LOL,was toying with a bigger turbo pushing it to 200bhp but that would mean a uprated clutch and now the wifes having the car theres no point

For 200bhp? No point. Need at least 250 to make a car that size/weight anywhere near being quick.

 

[lame plumber]

nope,not selling that,had it too long wifes getting the keys on Saturday,and it produces 180 bhp,and has been lowered wanna race?

is that to make it easier getting in and out with your bad knees?

 

[secret squirrel]

Hyundai I10, £20 per year road tax, £150 insurance Mmmmmmmmm,

I hate spending money on cars, good luck to anyone who loves them

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

is that to make it easier getting in and out with your bad knees?

no but i do find it a issue sometimes the rovers very low to the floor,my oldman can get in but not out loves the quality of the car but not the lowed suspension

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

For 200bhp? No point. Need at least 250 to make a car that size/weight anywhere near being quick.

[Destroyer2813]

I wanted the s-line version of mine but for the amount i drive it really wasn"t worth the money

 

[REDSAW]

o-60mph no

[gassafe]

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!)

 

[HTG-Apprentice]

Bit of a strange one aswell, Most seem to have astras and thats what I've just got rid of!


Ive got a raggity Bmw E36 318is :dead:

 

[gassafe]

I have a fiesta st.... although I don't have a van! Haha! If I ever got a van the car would have to go!

 

[lame plumber]

i am looking at this next, its only £440 fully comp for me, hmmmmmmmm!

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!!!!!!

 

[lame plumber]

Porche Cayanne

rich hairdressers car!

 

[tamz]

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 £50 quid of diesel to go to the shop so i don't drive it!

 

[CES]

Ces got one of them to but it's because I have three kids & another due

[mitchellcook]

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.

You must be mental letting a woman drive a C63.

 

[Leo21]

You must be mental letting a woman drive a C63.

Yeh, imagine the fuel bill!

 

[ManchesterGas]

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!
