FatHand Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Ford Focus estate. It never gets cleaned and when it gets a scratch I don't bat an eyelid. I'd much rather have a Moog Voyager than a fancy car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paime Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I hear what you're saying, Mr Austin but i just can't drag myself away from ridiculously fun cars. Unfortunately im driving a 3 litre Z4 just now which is a bit of a hairdresser's car but otherwise good fun.This is my old RS4. I never should've sold it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanClews Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 The slightly less exciting version of paime's car.Still got 237bhp and its a good bit of fun, and reasonably economical, would love an RS4 tho. There was one on the forecourt when we went to buy the A4, should have had a test drive just for fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 just scrapped my 3l v6 converted MR2 roadster for £75. 200bhp of mid engined, RWD, traction control-less convertible fun weighing in under 1000kg. too many good times in that beast, shame it got fucked & left to rust.

Did you take the engine out before you scrapped it? I loved my MR2, the driving position made you feel like a total driving boss and the handling was sublime. Would easily have another one but finding a rust-free example is tricky and potentially expensive.I think i'll get rid of the beamer next year and maybe get something ridiculous. Im torn between a Noble M12 and a TVR T350 although i think the Noble might win it on reliability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like a pretty decent all-rounder and you'll never go wrong with Audi engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Car Porn.Say what you will about old american cars, I'd take something like this over an Audi any day. Well, not really, because I'd get about 5mpg and I commute nearly 60 miles a day.This is what I actually drive:Boring and practical.xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Is that the Shelby 500? Probably one of the sexiest cars ever made. You can get some stonking yank tanks on ebay for cheapish bucks but i think driving a left hand drive on UK roads would be a bit of a hassle. You couldn't go to a macdonalds drive-thru for a start.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Can we all chip in and get a Shelby 500? We can have it on alternate weeks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 This thread is useless without pics, so I found a pic of the aftermath of the lorry-inflicted destruction of my first car I slightly exaggerated the story it seems - the passenger door escaped damage somehow.EDIT: I kept the rear plate. Y'know - souvenir and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Oooh, car wreck pics I can do. For some reason I can't link this one properly though!http://instagram.com/p/K0BJpxN9qe/Here's a side-on view.Was driving like a cunt on back roads, dabbed the brakes to slow down right as I lifed off on the apex of a smallish bump on the road. Wheels locked, flew off the road into a park and rolled a few times. Must have landed on some kind of animal because there was so much blood in the car that it was assumed there was a passenger, since I barely had a scratch on me. I was brought in and questioned on suspicion of murder.I don't drive like a cunt any more.xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HateEvent Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Loving the RS4 Paime! If I had the cash, I'd love to have an Avant model B7 RS4 to go with the Supra as it'd be ideal for getting gear to gigs and is more than pokey enough!Nice idea with the Noble/TVR as well! I've never driven either so can't form full opinions on them! Always fancied a Tuscan though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 That Shelby is by far the sexiest car in this thread. I went and checked ebay for Ford Mustangs. Most of the cool ones are still well over £15k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabbage Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Have you got a capri or a series 3? My old man used to have a series 3 and i've got lots of great memories of it. My brother eventually inherited it as his first car and wrote off a mini and a fiesta with it (in two separate occasions, landy unharmed) before destroying the gearbox with his amateurish gear changes.How on earth do you post pictures from you hard drive on this forum???Series 3 lawnrover with an essex v6, 4 speed gearbox with overdrive and discovery diff's, military spec front and rear axles... beastin though its not seen a road for years as its in hunners of bits.I ran another landrover a few years ago, it had a 3.3L perkins tractor engine. I did my B+E test in it, the instuctor told me it was the second most shite vehicle he had ever been in! It is really easy to wreck the gearboxes, the early ones have no syncromesh on 1st and 2nd, this one would only go into 1st if you slipped the clutch or were coasting slowly.
