Jaguar X-type, 4WD 2.5L V6 to help save all those baby whales and stuff. 5 speed manual btw, apparently the US ones come with a rubbish disposable auto box by Jatco. Bought it cheap by accident on Ebay...

Not mine, in case the owner of the one in the Autoexpress pic is gunned down by the Soludo clan...

Mrs has the 2002 Peugeot 206SW diesel. i`ve got her cast-off 1995 Nissan Terrano 2.7TDi. Just topped 107000 miies, so it`s nicely run in Smile

edit: knew I had a picture somewhere. Taken in a lay-by at Croy Brae last year (amazing place - try googling).

I cannot believe you are admitting that!

I posted that before clicking your link.

Go to ebay now and you can buy a used Green Jeep Wrangler Sport.

Hahahahahaha! Nice one Slightly! Too bad your words are forever engraved in Eater history. Unless you delete them that is.

Ah!!! Just read the link again. The Wrangler merely attracts the unheteroes. It doesn't mean the driver partakes in backdoor shennanigans, does it?
And as I'm a veritable sex magnet to any gender, it doesn't really make a difference.
Heteros and unheteros are going to be staring at me with love in their eyes whatever I drive - even if it's an oh so unhetero-ally named Grand Prix.

The sport version

There were some kids toys that were called Big Wheels (or something like that) that were a take off of Hot Wheels cars. The wheels were over sized and the cars were charactures of real cars. This looks like a Porche version of one of those toys.

I drive a VW Passat. I love VW, but I used to drive a turbo Jetta which was the best car ever!!! I miss the days when I'd be sitting at a red light & the driver in the next lane was thinking he/she would pull off first & get in front of me, but I'd be going 60mph by the time I hit the other side of the intersection. Laughing

(I HATE for people to get in front of me, I can't stand it, it makes me physically ill).

The Passat allegedly has a turbo engine, but it doesn't perform at the same level as the Jetta. I have to get her ready for takeoff whereas the Jetta only required a light tap or 2 on the gas. Plus it requires premium gas or it will literally have a hissy fit tantrum stalling & shaking even on plus. And I thought I was spoiled. Rolling Eyes

Edit: Next car will be a Mini Cooper or VW Bug convertable, or the Golf is kind of cute & I haven't ever had one of those yet.

@ iMike
Did you do the handbrake off roll back up the up the hill thing?
We poured water out to watch it going "uphill"

At least they have warnings about it being electric brae and to be aware of cars in the middle of the road!

@ mugatu Insurance premiums are a nightmare. I pay more than my car is worth as I have my eldest learning to drive Rolling Eyes

Some companies wont even give you a quote for drivers under 25

@nanny - yes, had to give it a slight push - that old bus is a bit on the heavy side. Wierd feeling having to brake going uphill! Shocked

^^ BA -- I don't see the scratch/dent from the "bees incident"... did you fix it... or is it on the other side of the car? Wink

Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:44 pm

^^^ That photo was taken before the "Bee adventure of '07" but yes I did have the scratch repaired. Laughing
