Yesterday I finally got rid of my Opel Vectra in favour of a Peugeot 406, 1,8l LPG-G3 (I'm so enviromentally friendly, or is it just cheap? ) The steering wheel's on the left (...In this country they drive on the wrong side of the road!"- sir Micheal Caine!) but otherwise it's perfect..

Anyway, the Vectra's gone, Clarkson would be proud!

I've got a right "new toy" buzz going on..

Got flashed for speeding an hour after leaving the forecourt!.

So, what do you guys drive, and what's your view on the apparent necessity of every urban housewife to 'school-run' their kids in a Hummer, even though the school is a hundred miles from the nearest mountain?

What year is the Passat? I love the 2,0l new model. I nearly bought one in Alkmaar, but prices here in NL are crazy.

Red 1995 Geo Prism, has 120,000 miles on it and runs like it has 20,000. Doesn't have the greatest features, but it gets me from point A to point B!



looks like that, but mine isn't wrecked and destroyed.

Don't they tend to be driven by aggressive/suicidal 20-something maniacs? Wink

When Accords pass me at ludicrous speeds, going up a blind hill on the highway, inevitably there's a ballcap-wearing young male at the wheel....Stern Smile

Nice car, though!Smile

Me? A new navy blue Toyota Corolla -- I love it! Stylish, peppy, great handling, excellent fuel economy, and reliability! Go Toyota!Big smile

1997 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo.

It was a compromise, since it's a 4-door saloon and I prefer coupes - but it's got plenty of torque AND 40MPG.

Can't complain - even if Clarkson thinks it's a boring car.

(This isn't mine, but, number plate apart, it looks identical - even the colour.

I'm a Beetle fan...I've owned a few of the old ones, as well as a '68 Camper, and right now I have a 2002 one that I'm about to give up for a hybrid (haven't decided which one yet).

In an ideal situation I wouldn't drive at all, but out here in the desert trying to get anywhere with walking and/or public transportation is a bit unreasonable.
