Subsimmers: What type of car do you drive/own?

Konovalov · 12-02-05, 10:06 AM

Having seen a recent thread of Kapitains regarding a Rover I wondered what sort of cars people here on this forum own or drive? There seem to be certain traits that we subsimmers all have in common. I wonder if this extends to our type of transport?
:hmm:

For me, I drive a 1995 Volkswagen Golf GL TDi hatchback. Yes boring and a diesel but hey I'm getting old now. My fast car days are well and truly over. At least that's what my wife has told me.

So what do other guys and girls on this forum drive? Anything rare, fast, or special?

Not too special, but I like it, a 1993 Honda Prelude, like this one:

Not driving this yet, but it's a question of a couple of moths before I buy this beauty.

My ride is a Mitsubishi Eclipse

Excalibur Bane · 12-02-05, 12:59 PM

Yeah, my ride is great for getting home fast and the occasional street race when some punk challenges me....

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

I have a black Nissan Xterra.

I own a BMW 320d for daily cruising, it's a nice 4 door sedan blue metallic and very good for speedy, economic and comfortable cruising.

But my second car is a long time dream, I buyed it some time ago 3rd hand and restored it

Now I am a member of the ///M drivers club in Spain and am enjoying inmensely going to meetings (Usually including track days).

Here it is in all its beauty: An E30 M3 from 1990 with 215 HP and full aero kit from the EVOII:

Here is my baby... my 87 IROC

In the process of putting in a hot 355 that should make around 490+ torque and 380+ hp. Not too shabby for my first car! Paying for everything myself too.

Oberon · 12-02-05, 04:11 PM

Here's my ride!

Taken during a ride through the aptly named 'Watermeadows'

CCIP · 12-02-05, 04:13 PM

I don't even have something like Oberon's ride

But I love Polak's choice

lesrae · 12-02-05, 04:20 PM

Here's my ride, a bit on the conservative side but I would'nt trade the leg room and trunk space for anything

That took plenty of wax to get that shine, too bad winter is on our doorstep...
