What kind fo a car do you drive?

What's that in real mph speeds?Originally Posted by Ser Clegane
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.

Re: What kind fo a car do you drive?
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

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: What kind fo a car do you drive?
'97 Subaru Legacy. Gets me around in the snow and has decent mileage. I think about 25 MPG but I have no idea what horse power it is since I drive like an old bag.
Re: What kind fo a car do you drive?
My little pride and joy:
1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 - in winter trim. Now it's Easter and the sun is shining, it will soon be time to replace the roof with its hood.
These were hairy when they had a 1300 engine, the 1500 is somewhat overpowered and the De Dion axle only just copes. For best handling, it has a paving slab in the boot.
Top speed is about 130 mph, the edge taken off by the conversion to unleaded fuel. Crazy fun on country roads at 40 though!

Re: What kind fo a car do you drive?
Skoda Octavia as an everyday car , Volvo 360 for long runs , VW Lt35 for work/sea fun/camping .
Plus an old 35 for if I can be bothered to work the bog .
Re: What kind fo a car do you drive?
Very boring - but drives very nicely, is large (I'm quite tall), and was cheap ($4000 USD - bought about six months ago).
2000 Taurus SE (silverish blue color)
But a lawyer in a 2006 black Mercedes slammed into me two days ago... Thank goodness it wasn't the other way around though!
Re: What kind fo a car do you drive?
He's a lawyer. You'll get the least amount of money you deserve.
Re: What kind fo a car do you drive?
I'm just hoping his lawyer status doesn't come into the picture at all. Maybe it'll just be me and his insurance company working it out. At the scene of the accident he said an incredibly small number of words to me and the cop - which I didn't understand till the end, when I found out he was a lawyer.
Re: What kind fo a car do you drive?
'94 Cavalier Z24. It's in good shape, and is quite reliable. Comfortable seats and a smooth ride; I don't like those pushy city street drivers; you're not going to have any fun on these streets so just relax and we'll all be happier.My motorbike is for sport, and I could never convince myself that I could have as much fun in a car. My dad gets me to drive his collector ones around when he goes to a classic car shows though. They can be a bit fun to drive as a change of pace. Car show season is starting up again and I'll be trekking to Hershey and Iola Gah! The car shows are to boredom what the devil incarnate is to the devil.

Re: What kind fo a car do you drive?
1995 Acura (Honda) Integra. 2-door hatchback, light, and sporty, and thoroughly abused by yours truly. Got about 115K miles on it, I think the fastest I've gone in it is 120mph. It could go faster, but why push it? Here in the US, this car has had the honor of being the most stolen car model early this decade. Big market for the engines by tuners/ricers, supposedly.
Considering the abuse, it's done well. Very reliable, hopefully I can get another couple of years out of it.

Looks nice Taurus, though the bodykit is a bit too "pimped" for my taste..
