What do you drive? , by Deleted on Dec 8, 2007 16:35:54 GMT 1, I'm looking for inspiration for my next car purchase so am curious on what you drive and why you like it. Multiple car comments are expected as I think some people on this forum have $$$!

You may come across a lemon, but if you know a bit about 'em that can be avoided.

It is great though and for where you can go on it is very reasonable really... shame its only in one town though.
Trains in the rest of the country are becoming even more of a joke than they have ever been... another fare hike coming soon, I thnk for the whole network, but definitely my bit... the arse-end of one of the most expensive per mile commuter routes on the planet... do they never have enough ivory back-scratchers?

What do you drive? , by ABC on Dec 8, 2007 17:39:04 GMT 1, I'm dreaming again, Its my neighbor who has the Q7 and I'm in love with it, It's a mean mother. I drive a Vectra SRI which is a good sensible car. Trading up for an Audi A4 in the new year. You have not mentioned a budget? makes a big difference when searching for the perfect Jam Jar.

True, but then the way prices are in the SEast, and the way the Uk market looks for the next couple of years ...
I say sod cars buy more Art ;D

What do you drive? , by Deleted on Dec 8, 2007 18:05:51 GMT 1, Yeah, I have a 1997 Honda Accord (LX...the lowest end model with a 4 Cylinder engine...maybe 150 hp!) and it hasn't given me any problems since day one. I think I'm going to drive it to the ground, but was looking for a car to take me up to the mountains...probably not a SUV...am thinking the Suburu Outback.

Well maybe not a top tip
I should have bought my first house about twelve years ago. To much traveling and mucking around tho.... Purchased a few years back so okay but
However safe bet long term of course but i think the next couple of years will be s**tty for some. I know people with 110% mortgages who are more than al ittle worried
