Post a picture of your car here Part 4 (quote a picture, get a 24h ban!!)

My bad I didn't see the warning, ha ha can't ban a man with a polisher

Out of curiosity why have you changed your cars in the past?

Mainly just down to wanting a change granted the focus was just troublesome left me stranded on the road a few times I had no faith or trust in it anymore you quickly realise life is too short to be sitting on the hard shoulder waiting for a breakdown truck. The other two were just wanted a change well I liked my golf but it wasn't a five door car which I need so that was more for practicality than necessarily wanting to change for the sake of changing. Astra was just changed for the sake of it plus I was getting a good bit more that I paid I still have a soft spot for that though.


I'm kind of sick of changing so hopefully I'll keep this megane for at least 2 years and get my monies worth out of it. I like it so far such a comfortable car to sit in for 2-3 hours which is what I want.

Life's too short to spend €10k on a 79bhp diesel Megane either....!

I have been driving for three years now and have had 12 cars I think...? :v

200? Wow.

Can you share the list with us?

I think I'm up at around 60-odd at this stage, as Davy says, depressing to look back on the ones you sold

I've had only 9 cars.

Ah yeah but I'd say a good 60% of the stuff I've owned has been boring stuff that I don't even remember; I've had like 4 6n Polos, load of Mk2 Clios etc. Lot bought to sell on too. In the last 12/18 months its just been cool stuff that I like

I really don't get why a car seems to have to be 150-200bhp before it becomes interesting and sure if it's under a 100bhp then is some kind of a lethal death trap slow.

I know it's nice to have poke and what not. I do overhear some of the young fellas on about remapping golfs or whatever upto 150/60 whatever bhp. It'll be quicker off the mark, and get to 100k maybe 3/4 seconds faster than a lower powered car, but then what, sure you have to stay at the limit? Quicker to overtake, fine, that's about all though.

The whole fascination with mad power has me dumbfounded, if it's a track car, then that's fine, but for day to day driving I don't really get it.

Obviously there is dangerously slow, which wouldn't pull you out of bed, but leaving them aside.

I hope I don't get slated for this.....

Power is good for a few reasons, overtaking being the main one but for me, actually being able to join a Motorway/Dual Carriageway at the proper speed to merge was a big thing for me when changing.

There is nothing like having the ability to overtake 5 or 6 cars safely in a few seconds. Power is everything. The more the better.

+1 there is a american 1980s saab advert i was trying to embed but basically it says:

saab 9000 turbo , overtaking ability of a v8 with the economy of a 4:cool:
