    Curious of what marquee people on the site are driving at the moment, you may own more than one car but in that case choose the one you plan to use the most.

    Can only assume the Alfa owners haven't showed up yet...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,302 ✭✭✭Supergurrier


    A wolf in sheep's clothing.

    It gets 8 miles per red riding hood in town and 13 on a run :p

    '08 1.0 Peugeot 107 semi-auto. Not very 'exciting' and a bit noisy, but it's surprisingly nimble and does the job very inexpensively.

    I despise being lumped in the same category as Vauxhall drivers, seriously. It's a fictitious brand at this point.

    Anywho. My Vectra is going strong at 150k kms and will be getting its NCT soon :)

    Trying to "tinker with" their cars no doubt.

    And by "tinker with", I mean fix.

    Nah was just out for a spirited drive in one of many Alfas :pac:

    I'd say I'll be using the 406 the most
    Or if all checks out this weekend, something else later on in the year will take over the Pug as a daily hack :cool:

    I'll prob be stupid enough to buy it anyway (it'll claim the title of the most expensive car purchased to date), blinded by glaring faults and mounting costs.... Meh, I want one ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭kuro2k


    96 BMW cabrio as a daily, I crashed my Hilux Surf a few months ago and need to get it fixed ASAP. I really don't like driving the BMW during the winter months


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,263 ✭✭✭✭Borderfox


    04 Citroen C5 good runner, very comfortable and all paid up.

    Driving a Saab 93, 2.2 tid. She's a bit of a agri sounding diesel at times but paper from consumable part replacement she's running faultlessly.

    BMW e60 525 or 530 daysul or maybe an Audi A6 quattro 3.0tdi coming soon as i find one im happy with :)

    Volvo S60 D5, that car will probably outlive me, it's indestructable.

    Her 08 Citroen C5 is still about, but that'll probably be changed this year. It's a good car, but the 1.6HDi is nowhere near powerful for a car that size.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭sporter1


    2005 320cd nct'd till oct 2015,€710 tax is harsh but otherwise will not be changing.

    2007 ford focus 1.6tdci. Should be keeping it for the foreseeable future. The car is growing on me slowly :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭zenno


    1999 Mitsubishi colt GL, the lunch-box, or scrunch-box, it's so small for 4 people, but it never gives a problem, 145,000 miles and still going strong :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    My good old Scooby. No plan on changing this year. I like it, it works, its a nice car ( for me ). Keeping it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,647 ✭✭✭impr0v


    BMW running at more than twice its closest rival atm. I knew the forum was full of fanboys but I didn't think it was that bad.
