Default 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!

Ford Mondeo GLX Hatchback 1997 model



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

As of two months ago, a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid. 42mph is coming in handy on that long commute to work.

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.
