What kind of car do YOU have?

Bort · 01-22-07, 08:13 PM

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!

Ok here are mine:

My pride and joy (now off the road)

Rover 827Si modified V6 Turbo sports injection 32 valve quad cam 2.7 ltr un modified version has 188BHP this has been mesured at 225BHP, top speed after modification 178.8mph according to dunton test track.
(note its for sale and not advisable for first car insurance is band 19 or 20)

My old run around now off road as well is the smaller 416si un modified 1.6ltr straight 4 with sports injection top speed 135mph on a good day.

And my current run around for my london place (you realy dont want a new car here!)

Rover 214SEi 1.4ltr staright 4 un modified top speed of just 125mph (got 90 out of it as the clutch was going)

And the one i use when im down at my dads place is the renault megane 1.5 turbo diesel straight 4 and top speed and tested at 122mph.

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.

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.
