other cars on your drive?

[allanayling]

i was just wondering how many of you use your cars as everyday runabouts? for those who have them as second cars i was just wondering what people used as their everyday hacks???

I bought mine as a second car as my aston martin lagonda is not very practical. I also have a merccedes cl500 but since getting the Fd i havnt turned the key in either, i think selling without buying another would be worse than giving up smoking. definately an addictive car and the best fun ive had, especially in the wet! cant wait till i have a few mods and i try my first track day.

Aston Martin??  You pulling our plonkers!?  :Tongue1

I have a 406 coupe diesel as a second car.  But I do a lot of miles for work so couldnt use the Rex.  The 406 is ok too, full heated leather electric seats with memory position (great for when the missus drives it and moves the seats around)  It even remembers the mirror positions   :cheers    Factory fit Sat Nav and loads of other toys.  Its got a 2.2 turbo so quite torquey too, but I still get 50mpg  :guinness

I think using the FD as a second car makes you appreciate it more.  I really look forward to getting home and driving it, the speed, the noise.... well its always a novelty as I drive a normal car during the day.

I respect anyone who has the guts to own a Lagonda! Definatly the oddest car to have ever come out of Newport Pagnell!

I have a Puma as my daily driver (not quite in the same league)

Alfa 156 2.4 JTD Sportwagon and Toyota RAV4 XT5 (for the school run ).

Get 40mpg out of the Alfa and good mid-range performance...very relaxed at motorway speeds. Toyota suprisingly enjoyable and relaxing to drive - got all the toys -heated seats, sat nav etc - good all round family car.

Got my Renault 5 GTT that Ive owned for 6 years now




And we have the Perodua Nippa to run to work and back in and do stupid 2 mile runs to McDonalds drive thru The pic isnt mine but you get the idea, plus mine has colour coded bumpers lol 850cc

Good thread!  There\'s way too much money out there tho!

Unfortunately i\'m lumbered with a black Golf Mk4 GTTDI as the work horse.  Hopefully getting upgrated to something else this year (as two and a bit years old).  Looking for a Seat Leon Cupra.  

I use the \'7 as my weekend car.  I was running 3 three cars and using my Rover 221 Turbo hatch for the 1/4 mile.  However she had to be broken few months back after loosing the full transmission at TOTB.

Fancy another cheap track car and have been looking at a MK 2 XR2 Turbo!

Living with my bro and a friend in a shared house at the moment (when i\'m there that is!) and between us we have 4 cars.  The other two are a black S-Special MX5 and an Alfa 156.

Pump up the Yaris... its called Echo in Australia.



But its good for saving on gas and insurance.

I put on 17\'s that have zero grip. Every time it rains. its handbrake drift time..... haha>!

Soon another FD will replace.

I had to resist tuning this beast. So i will just settle for photoshop.

Always said i would never buy one of these cars, but its one of the best cars ive owned a Volvo S40

[nikp]

I only have an FD....which isn\'t going anywhere at the moment!

Girlfriend has a Clio. And we have a 1968 mkI mini in the garage...also with no engine!
