View Full Version : What kind of car do YOU have?
As the title suggests, here's a thread to tell what you drive, ride, fly whatever. I said car in the title as that is probably the most common mode of transport but anything you've got is fair game!
I'll go first
I drive a 2000 Infiniti G20. Its basically the same car as a Nissan Primera for the Europeans and it's a nice car. It could use a bit more power (it has 145 raging Japanese horses under the hood) but it handles better than anything else I've ever driven!

It may not be flashy, but it's economical, comfortable and does all that I need:up: I catch the train to work instead of drive, I hate peak hour, but that leaves me at the mercy of city rail!!!!!

Dont want to worry you danlisa but the MG ZR is a 200 / 25 series rover just with the MG badge on it and a few interior changes, it even has the same engine as a 200 / 25.

And dont i know i bought a sensor for the ABS brakes on my 827 just one the size of a fat pen cost me £85.
1988 Buick Le Saber Estate Wagon:up:
1993 Plymouth Voyager:yep:
1998 Ford Windstar:)
The Voyager needs some work but it runs.
Q: What kind of car do you have?
A: er..A slow one. To be more precise a 1.8 na diesel ford escort with about 150k on the clock and rust in all the usual places. K reg, so that's around '95/'96 (I think) for you Americans. I give it 6 months... but I've been saying that for over 3 years now :(
Over Christmas & the new year I had a hire car for about 7-10 days- new shape vauxhall (opel to you foreigners) vectra 1.8 SRI petrol. I'm not a massive vauxhall fan, but this was nice to drive in almost every way compared to my escort. Comfortable, soooo easy to drive, cruise control, ABS, power steering etc and a stereo that kicks ass for a factory fit job. And when you got it over 4.5k revs the engine just seemed to growl more more more! all the way to 7k rpm and before you know it you're the wrong side of 100mph on an A-road. hehe. I wonder what the 2.0L turbo version was like :hmm:
Roll on new motor for me ASAP... something in V6 flavour with any luck... mundano st24/st200 or ghiaX if the price and mileage is right or perhaps the old shape vectra V6 SRI. Other alternatives are Audi A4's or a monster volvo 2.5 - the mahoosive estates the fuzz use here as motorway patrol/pursuit cars, C70?... mmm nice.
Missus has a new shape fiat seicento 1.1 sporting. It's like driving a diddy go-cart with power steering and headlights. I laughed until I drove it and realised it pastes the **** out of mine. :lol:

if you trace the rover 200 its essentialy the same underneath as the honda civic.
kap- thats not too bad for a sensor, just fitted a airflow sensor to a 99 nissan micra cost -£455 (i only charged £10 labour)

I used to have a 1994 Ford Escort wagon. It got wrecked some time ago, never replaced. These days I ride public transportation.
Like Letum, I have a bike. Mine's a 1982 Kawasaki KZ750D. Like Letum's, mine also doesn't run.
@I-25: You're VW Thing (also known as Safari and Trekker) was also a copy of the Wermacht's original Kubelwagen, updated to '70s safety standards.
