That post was from August 2016. It's now March 2018 and I still have that utter shitcunt of a car.

I'm absolutely smashing it at life.

Whatever you do don't upgrade to a quicker car thinking running it will be cheap...I made that move...averaging 18 mpg right now

Mercedes c class sport 2.2. 65 plate. My baby. Well, in addition to my actual baby.

Same car (damn contract), but I just got a new job so I will also have an Audi A3 saloon on the drive for about 3 months before I get to pick my own.

Doesn't necessarily need to be an Audi. Depends on what they let me have.

Feel free to disagree but I'm loving the new ST Line Fiestas - the ST makes me jealous also

I saw a Bugatti Chiron the other day.

Fucking tailgated that shit for a half mile before the fucker just turned it up and was gone in a nanosecond.

That car is a showstopper.

You must see some epic cars over there. And some shitkickers too!!


Edit. I just googled it. Fucking hell. Want.

You'll see everything from the sublime to the utterly ridiculous here when it comes to cars. Some of these guys have too much money to know how to spend it .

Currently driving a Peugeot 208GTi, a 200BHP front wheel drive 3 door hatch back.
But in a little under two weeks I take ownership of a 15 plate BMW M135i rear wheel drive 320BHP 5 door hatch. Getting very excited by the prospect.
For the past 20 years or so, it's been pick ups or 4x4's for their towing ability so it's been great getting into something with a bit of get up and go.......although this has impacted on my licence a little.

The wee pug has been surprisingly good and is a nice little fastish car in real world motoring, but the BMW will be a lot more like the real thing 
It's my brothers car, he's replacing it with a M2 !! He's also got a Lotus Evora, Chaterham Seven, Porsche Cayan, proper petrol head.

Past favourites of mine include a 1998 Toyota Landcruiser 4.2 TD, had that for 8 years, it was a beast!!!
Had the older 1983 Landcruiser HJ60, a 4 litre old skool 4x4 !
The 3 litre Isuzu Trooper was ace until I blew it up.
Navarra pick up was fairly nice.
Had 3 transits vans, two other pick ups, a renault traffic, a saab and a mini clubman with a full competition engine....I liked that a lot.
Oh, an escort van, 205xs, renault 5
I think thats it....oh it's 30 years worth of motoring there.

Start my journey South tomorrow to collect my 'new' car........getting quite excited by the prospect.
A proper nice car with good performance levels and an auto gearbox with flappy paddles.
Happy days.

On a slightly sour note however, the wee 208GTi has rust spots showing on the roof, not even 3 years old yet FFS !!!!

I've just made the last payment on mine. Woohoo. Finally own it!

Fucking hate cars when they go wrong. Its true when they say the cheapest thing you can do to a car is buy it.

I got 3 cars at the moment. Bought one for the missus to replace the crappy old one. Unfortunately I can't seem to give away the old one. It's gonna get scrapped.

I have a Fiesta 1l ecoboost but really I'd love the Hakosuka GTR or a Lamborghini Huracan

You have Impecible taste.

They are as cool as fuck.......just lovely infact!! (the GTR not the Fiesta Ecoboost)

My current car is the BMW 1 series M135i
It is awesome, a real sleeper, just looks like any other BMW hatchback but with 320BHP. So it drives like any typical BMW hatch, but hit the throttle in sport mode and it's astonishing. The grip The Mitchellen Super Sport tyres offer is incredible. I am loving it. And despite hard driving, average fuel is a fairly respectable 32mpg, which for a car that does 0-60 in about 4 and a half seconds is just incredible. (hitting treble figures will drop your fuel consumption down considerably, but I don't visit tracks or autobahns very regularly).

I have a few dream cars..........so it would have to be a collection:
I have driven loads of Landcruisers and Jap 4x4's but I'd love a mercedes Unimog.
Have to have a classic mini cooper in the collection, old skool cool.
Something bu Lotus, so either a new Elise or ideally the V8 Esprit......shit, put me down for both.
A classic American pick up truck, but done in a Kindig Custom style RestoMod
And I'd add any modern Aston Martin as the ultimate cant afford and will never have....how about the DBS Supeleggera

Ok so the absolute loathe: feckin' camper vans, rented and driven by arseholes who think wild camping is parking in a lay-by and leaving your rubbish for some other fucker to deal with. They cost a fortune to buy and run and clog up our roads (NC500) and contribute almost fuck all to the local economy. Useless twats !!!
Rant over

Living on the North Coast 500 (Scotlands answer to Route 66) we see everything from folks doing it on bicycles or mopeds to the whole Maclarren, Lambo, Ferrari and everything in-between. You stop at the local shop sometimes and count (quite literally) how many millions££££££ are in the car park. It's become quite normal to see supercars here now and they are all still slower on the roads than the local postie. You don't see much on undulating single track country roads when you are nigh on sat on the floor.
