90% a Nissan Leaf - if i could afford a Tesla P85D I'd buy one tomorrow.
10% a Kia cee'd 1.6 eco thingy. Bought when my A6 quatro broke down for the millionth time and a 7 year warranty seemed like a good idea.
0% a modified JDM Mitsubishi GTO 3.0 twin turbo. Very fast and very broken. Should really scrap it but I love her....
The wife and kids are on holiday with the in-laws; in the morning I'm going to drive this for the first time in ages!
The only question is, will there be anywhere sunny in the north of England?
Just added another to the fleet.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
So you díd get the Mitsubishi after all.
Quite some car it is indeed. Astonishingly advanced at the time.
Wish you many satifying miles and no points cost.
Even on a wet day it looks fantastic Eddie. Very nice.
I'm now the (sort of) proud owner of a 4x4. All I need now are some rub strips down the left-hand side...
I've fancied one of these ever since I had an XJR and thought it was high time I got on with it.

Thanks, I wanted to give the car a good start to life. The valeters at the dealership would no doubt give it a quick wash but provide nothing in the way of protection. Also, even though it's a brand new car the paintwork was not defect free, for example.

Maybe I'm a little OCD when it comes to my cars paintwork, I do know it won't be going anywhere near the local hand car wash.
The dealers wouldn't dream of taking each wheel off and applying a ceramic coating inside and out with the same applied to the brake calipers.

^^^^^Great products from Gtechniq. Got Crystal Serum, Exo and C5 wheel armour on my GTR. I wouldn't trust a dealer with prepping a nice car.

I've got an Alfa 159, had the choice of the usualgermans, but wanted something a little different, very please I did,though the usual comments about reliability from people stuck in the 90's!
An old Fiat Punto, still does the job of getting me to work and back
M4 - A bit nippy!
Picked up an S3 sportback a few weeks ago. Really pleased with it so far, seems a good blend between performance and practicality.
Thanks Ralph. It's in pretty good shape and is very usable, a few things to tart up and maybe a respray in a year or two.
I've learned two things about our roads since owning the Vixen. Firstly there aren't that many places where I can really push it hard and secondly just how badly the roads have been resurfaced, with sunken ironwork everywhere. Never noticed these things in my Disco!
Mk 7 Golf GTI with performance pack as I work for VW! ha.
I'd like to say young ladies wild but that would be an outrageous lie!
If you think Zummerzet is poor you shouldn’t venture down our way. In particular, the B-roads are being left to disintegrate & they are doing so rapidly: worst pot-holes and more of them than I can ever recall, we’ve gone past troublesome and into dangerous now. :-(
Devon CC have a wizzy ‘report a pothole’ website where you can show the exact location of the problem but they don’t seem to do anything when you use it, a particularly bad one has been registered by many people since the beginning of this year yet it’s still there and getting worse. I have heard that one-third of their annual repair budget is now getting spent on damage claims by motorists...

PS On a more positive note, the better time to be 'pressing on’ is when the hedges have lost their foliage and been cut back: much better visibility on the bends. ;-)
