The Car Thread

The puma 1.7i was awesome, I've given it to my brother now and he drives it like a lunatic so I doubt it'll survive as long as it could have. Think the last ones were made in 02, otherwise I'd have just bought a newer one.

EDIT: oops not given, *sold*

Mine is the 1.7 too T reg and 89k miles and I know for a fact it could go on for a lot longer. Would love another one but would be so afraid of it going to rust again.
Wouldn't mind an FRP....don't see many of them about.

If you could have any car, but had to stick with it forever, forsaking all others, which car would you get?

[charlesr]

I'd propably go with an uprated version of my Impreza Wagon, with the 2.2 block dropped in, FMIC, TD05 turbo etc. Wider rubber and a wide arch kit.

I've still only got the Audi S4 (60 plate) I've long cancelled the R8 - I've decided there's too many of them on the road these days - so its gonna be an Aventador or 458 Italia...

I don't really know much about modding cars though - never done it...

That Toyota Aygo I didn't manage to buy

Yeah I have high expectations of cars (a ?7k one heh heh) don't care as long as it goes

A Twizy.

A Twizy.

That..looks...
Class

I want one

[MartyG]

One of the optional extras is a "Driver & passenger blanket" ... but it doesn't include fitting.

Also, the 0-60 time is yet to be confirmed, apparently they haven't found a steep enough hill.

[EvilBoris]

It's like they sellotaped 2 Segways together.

[Soundwave]

Puma power! Not sure how much longer mine will be around with it rusting before my very eyes lol. But yeah, very tempting to buy my brothers Clio now - 2.0 Sport with a ridiculous aftermarket exhaust on it so it can heard miles away. I believe Neil this one is more like the 182 model as he had the 172 Cup a few years back (I swear we have talked about this before too haha). Only thing that is putting me off taking this is I remember the **** load of electric problems the 172 had...we ended up taking out the ECU twice to be sent away and it was located in such an awkward place.

LOL I remember now we had spoken about it
Get your hands on it if you can...I loved my 172 & can only assume the 182 would be even more fun

Audi RS6 Estate.
Totally future proof.
The ultimate daddy wagon...big enough to take me, the Mrs & Chloe anywhere we want with room spare for if we decide on another down the line or if Chloe wants to take friends away with her.
Plus it's fast as fook & you can mod them if you feel so inclined.

So yep RS6 Estate all the way.

I would have my MR2 Turbo back in a hearbeat.

Failing that it would be a rather lovely white Honda NSX-R classic.

A Twizy.

Looks like it's driven straight out of an orange/blue portal. Wonder if it comes with a comedy voiced satnav... ("Are you still there?")

A brand new well specced Boxster. Just the 2.7 on 18" wheels. What more does a man need? Flat six - naturally balanced, low centre of gravity and sounds great. Mid engined for great handling. A spare seat for the good lady. The roof drops to take advantage of the great Scottish weather and it has two boots so is very practical.
