I'm curious as to what cars folk drive.
If you have anything interesting or out of the ordinary, or just special to you, what is it?? 
I've got a 1986 Ford Capri 2.8 injection Special
It's been "nut and bolt", bare metal restored with a few stealthy modern upgrades and period after market parts.
An example just a year newer fetched over a 100k at auction this year  |

My first car is a mermaid green skoda fabia 51 reg. She is called Tinks, and she doesn't like hills, and her favourite colour is green. I don't mind that she isn't the fastest or smartest car, she's mine and I got her all on my own. She's my sexmobile as well. :D |

We have a Nissan GTR show car, I don't know much about it but it's wrapped and has some mods and puts a big smile on your face when you put your foot down.
My daily drive is a mini coopers works and he has a company car. |

"Lotus"
What one? Ive driven an exige and loved it! Made a 360 Modena feel like a boat with drum brakes. The exige felt like you hit a wall when you stood on the brakes.

"Piece of shit punto"
I've driven plenty of shitters over the years. I loved not caring where I left it, if I'd locked it, if it needed a service, a wash, or if anyone doors it |

"Jaguar as the day to day and got a escort cosworth hidden away in a warehouse, comes out a couple of times a year."
Had two Sierra Cosworths, and two R33 GTRs in my 20's. Great fun but always panicked about where to park etc. Then got all sensible n my 30's. Things like a CLS55 AMG etc. Wish I had never sold it  |

"1998 BMW 323 Coupe
Love it to bits. Old school cool
I'm going back to BMW when I've had enough of the A5. Loved my 330, the A5 is just a car"
Something about BMW isnt there. Ive had lots of different makes but always come back to BMW its just the right car for me.
Dont tend to like alot of the newer model cars whatever the make.
I love the old school cars. Built to drive mot to drive you |

There is, I can't argue with you there!
I wanted something a bit newer but didn't like the 3 series coupes and the 4 was only just out and a bit steep on prices still. Think it's a 4 next time round though. |

"Audi A5 BE+
Loved audis when I had a Nogaro blue S4 Quattro. Was chipped to 320 and limiter removed "
A Nogaro blue Audi S4 features in one of my pictures... Loved that car so much. It always amused when a boy racer would pull up beside, rev the engine a couple of times to be left behind very quickly. Great car. |

18 year old Vespa et4 125cc at the moment. Hubby just added me to his car insurance but hasn't braved taking me out for extra driving lessons yet, he makes a terrible passenger.
Once I pass my driving test I'll be buying a Mazda mx5 |

Nice cars
I have a question for you all. How much money would you feel you had to have before you would spend super car money? or wouldn't you ever, on principal that's it's too exstravagant? |

If I had a spare £3,000,000 I'd happily stump up the wedge for a Koenigsegg ONE:1. |

I used to have a 3.0, lovely car - sideways in any gear
Nowadays I have a Triumph TR6 (stripped and under restoration) and a normal everyday diesel workhorse. I recently sold my Impreza and regretted it every day since even though it had done 200k miles and drank super unleaded like a fish. |

As soon as the finance becomes viable and the running costs affordable. Cars like the DB9 and the R8 are getting imminently closer to being affordable. The classifieds are goading me every day !! |

Funny you say £3,000,000 because that's the number I came up with as a minimum before blowing £200k. Don't know how much that car you mentioned is but I say 3 mil per 200k. It's not logical obviously because new cars are depreciating assets but thats where I would need to be to not feel permanently ashamed of my stupidity |

The Koenigsegg I mentioned IS £3,000,000.
They're built in very small numbers and currently the fastest road car ever built (273mph). |
