I've got the 535d version which has been superb, especially for towing my home on wheels.

Some seriously nice cars on here. So here goes mine...
Much like my watch collection, my car collection is also a random mix!
My "beaters"
Saab 9-3 V6 Aero Cabriolet
Audi Cabriolet V6
Volvo XC90 D5
My "grail", only used in nice weather with obligatory posing shot in the Peak District
Aston Martin DB9 6.0 V12
My "project"
An under-construction MEV Rocket
And what it will (hopefully) look like when finished:
I'll save you from sharing a picture of the Mrs' Honda CRV, although that is lovely too!
Love the fact that someone can casually drop a Carrera GT into this thread
A bunch of fooking posers the lot of ye
Where’s all the Astras, Primeras and Focus’s? Or is everybody in dilemma over whether to take the Landy or Quattraporte on the school run.
I’m going to photo the wife’s Agila tomorrow and stick that pic up again.
I'm pretty pleased with this. Little dog in the passenger seat
i have just added another old banger to the fleet , a ford escort rs1600i with 1918 mile on the clock from 1983.....which i wont be driving , just pushing on and off as trailer
That's almost as good as this.

A McLaren F1 that's NEVER been driven.
Some more photos of the 'Popemobile' as she's 17 years old and just flew through her MOT today. It's been in the wider family since new, and hopefully has more life left in her despite the missus trying to kill her off this week; http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...-Off-Insurance
The kids were always fond of wind down the windows races. The observant people will spot it has electrically adjustable door mirrors!
Anyone under 25 has no idea what this is (apologies for the gratuitous but obligatory Rolex shot). My Suede album got stuck in there over 10 year ago, and it's still in there.
The car and the watch just work so well together

Yep, long-life servicing from the supplying main dealer and I wouldn't do anything else to be honest.
The only parts the car has ever needed in the 10 years I have owned it (other than brakes and tyres) are a replacement EGR valve and a rear suspension spring. It is a truly brilliant all-round bullet-proof car.
I agree. I am sure mine will get to 200k no problem at all and that is my target before I change it.
Well my 12 year old Focus got towed to the garage yesterday evening with engine warning light related issues.... think it might be time for a new motor!
Collected 2 cars this weekend. Less exciting was a 5mth old 2.0 TDI Octavia se tech estate for new job motorway miles and bike duties. More exciting was taking my eldest to collect his first car, a nice example of a 7yr old 1.4tdci fiesta in titanium spec so all the nice toys. Cost c20% of its new price and whilst not the Polo I suggested it fits him better and seems a nice car for the money. After a service and 2 new tyres I'm hoping it'll prove reliable for commuting over the next couple of years.
Reminded me that it's not just about the car but what it means to you personally
and having fun with it again!
Collected it yesterday. Treated it to a wash, Clay bar, polish and wax today.
I’m pleased with the result
^ That looks like a bloody good job, can I drop mine off for the same
Had this a year now & it’s hardly been driven, which seems a bit of a waste. Off for its 1st annual service today & will give it a good run out after that
How much did the wash set you back and where did you get it done?

If you need someone to keep the wheels moving, send me a pm :)

I can't recommend this guy (Chris) highly enough. He has premises in Kent but can come to you in London, no problem (he comes all the way to the Midlands for my cars!)

He is reasonably priced without compromising on quality, but can tailor to your needs. I tend to go for a quick safe wash'n'wax on the dailies, but treat the DB9 to something a little better!
Please excuse the really un-glamorous / messy garage... but shows the shine
Also, this picture was taken with a crappy phone, and a week or so after the job was done... after a few drives!

Just over a couple of years on and I'm moving out of this (there were pics but Photobucket nuked them). If anyone is thinking of a 5 series Activehybrid I would recommend it, especially given the stonking deals on them used now. It's quick (c. 350BHP and sub 6s 0-60), quiet, comfortable and has a lot of toys.
Over 55,000 miles I've averaged just over 30mpg (petrol 3.0 turbo most of the time with electric support) and gone through two sets of tyres. A very nice thing.
I'm replacing it with something a bit bigger, a few more toys and a bit quicker (and four wheel drive) - an Audi S8. I pick it up in a couple of weeks, should be fun...
What will you do with the C63?

This is my dirty 330e with its new winter wheels and tyres, rather pimped up I'd say. Just need it to snow more this weekend
New acquisition and my first GT so very happy bunny.
I saw your post on Audi sport net too and thought you must be a patient man waiting 2 and a half months to drive it.
The Riviera Blue looks lovely.When did you place your order?
I have one ordered in Nogaro Blue which I should have for March.Still unsure about forking out the cash for a special colour but it does look unique in that blue.
Until September I was driving a lotus Evora s sports racer. Took it to the ring, many weekend trips and had a lot of fun with it. Worked perfectly with my wife and toddler. Sadly sold in preparation to buy a house next year. Once I know the damage a house will do to my bank I plan a e92 dct conpetntion pack purchase.
Some very nice cars posted.

The Evora will drive and ride much better than the M3 - I drove both of them within a week of each other and the Evora was in a different league!
