    Default What kind fo a car do you drive?

    As title,
    where are you from,what kind of a car do you drive (if you do) and how fast is it. Post pictures of it if you can find them.

    I'm curious to know :). Esp. since everyone in the states have cars with more than 150 bhp. if I have to believe Top Gear etc.

    Abandon all hope.

    What's that in real mph speeds?

    I recently purchased my first car for several years, a 12 year old 1000cc Ford Fiesta for 300 quid. One old bloke owner, immaculate condition, full service history. Bargain. Oh, and it's a nice shade of blue and will do about 90 mph with a strong tailwind, and it does lots of mpg. It'll really help with my postal job, as I have to travel to different centres covering for other posties. It will get hammered until I finish in July.

    Oh, it probably has a couple of tired, asthmatic old horsies in the engine somewhere.

    Acura MDX. Man, I love it, just got it two weeks ago.


    The pic isn't of my car, but it's pretty much it.

    One of these babies in dark blue I inherited from my dad. As of speed, couldn't really tell, I measure speed in multiples opf the speed limit. Speed limit, twice the speed limit and trice the speed limit, usually doesn't get faster than that.... Good enough to carry surfboards

    Are those roads? Jebus..
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    One of these but black, not yellow. Starting to get old now (2001) so I'll probably get a new one soon.

    Did I understand correctly, you think that car, which is made in 2001 is getting old?

    None. U-bahn and taxis are good enough for me. I can have friends/family ferry me if I really need it.
