Re: What Car do you drive??
Just lined up my new chariot for the next six months - a BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics. Big cut in the glamour stakes admittedly, but it'll cost me well over a third less in tax alone for the ridiculously small mileage I cover in a year. If you're having my Child Benefit, Mr Osborne, I'll be making damned sure I get it back from somewhere else.FieryTowse wrote:The joys of working in the motor trade means I really could have my choice and at various times have driven a variety of BMWs, Jaguars and Land/Range Rovers over the years (really, I have actually lost count). Thanks to the oppressive nature of company car tax I restrict myself to BMW 520d MSports these days.

Call me boring, but I drive a Toyota Yaris. With fuel price sky-rocketing, am I glad to have a fuel efficient, albeit more feminine car.

I like to think it's a classic but it's an old banger really.
But for when the weather gets bad or there's a mountain to climb.

they are not Vinyl graphics. They have been airbrushed on. I had vinyl before but they faded so I decided (at great expense ) to have them painted on. The chap that did them is nothing but a genius.

Now that man is a genius. Just browsed the website and there's some stunning work in the galleries. My artistic skills would just about stretch to something like this without the colours or straight lines.RVW wrote:Thanks for your kind comments.

Re: What Car do you drive??
A very interesting thread and an eclectic bunch of cars on show.
It seems that people who are passionate about their watches are equally so about their cars; or is it the other way around?
Anyway; here's mine. Kevin (he has a name; does yours?) is not particularly economical, but reasonably powerful (remapped to 185bhp), very practical and hugely enjoyable to drive;-
