Show us ya cars... What you blasting around in 2015?

[AdamC1983]

My new Focus ST3, in York, easy to spot so give us a wave!

[16v stretch]

I don't think I ever posted the new car...



I've noticed going from a slightly sheddy laguna estate, to this, people seem a lot less willing to give you any room though.

On the plus side, we bought a car, and my other half got a job there. She used to have to commute past the rodley roundabout massacre every day to get to Menston. The day she started was pretty much the day they re-opened it all

I'm sure I saw this car the other day but I cannot for the life of me remember where, can't be a very common car?

Have you seen a red MK1 MX5 on your travels recently with a loudish exhaust?


ETA: I think it was going down from the Odean in Bradford down towards Leeds and then headed up to Horsforth

Bit of an update since page 2...

With the thick end of 500 ponies I am going to have another summer in this thing.

Not everybodies cup of tea, but it sounds great and goes like the clappers.

I like that

1930 Ford Model A Phaeton imported from New Zealand. 3.3 Straight 4, 27bhp but a ton of torque. 3 forward gears, no synchro and the brake is on the right, accelerator in the middle. Rumour has it the steering wheel is connected to the front wheels and I believe it has brakes, maybe.

Quite possibly, I work in Tingley and live in Pudsey(Well... Swinnow), I think I might've spotted you near Porsche once as well, on my way home from work at about 10:30pm.

As for rarity, I've had it 6 weeks, seen 4 other Infiniti's!

So many ace cars here. I did have a Celica, but now I do 16k miles a year, having relocated in my job, last week I've ended up with something subtle to cruise up and down the M1...



A lot more subtle It's a good thing I love Fiestas.

Wouldn't have gotten rid of the Celica if I didn't have to relocate. Oh well, at least this is a lot more comfortable for longer journeys

I did around 20k in my Celica last year, leather seats, sunroof, satnav and a 6th gear for motorways, it was awesome, couldn't have wanted anything more for a long distance car really

I see where you're coming from, but for me, I found my right ankle would cramp whilst cruising, and also my hands would fuse to the steering wheel, which hurt a bit as well. So cruise control was a must. Falling apart at 28, lovely!

I reckon it was you, I'll keep an eye out next time I'm around there again, It could have been me near the porsche garage, there are some great open-ish roundabouts near there

And just when I was feeling all good about myself, my life and what I have achieved, you come along and post this.

[sonicbloo]

Is that the Countach replica that was at Malton breakfast meet a couple of years ago?

edit: just found a pic and reg was LAM 1D (which doesn't appear on DVLA anymore - so it could be?)

[giblet]

Reg on the first car comes back as a 1985 Lambo so the real thing.

[john mowbray]

No LAM 1D wasn't/isn't mine. I only got it last friday. one previous owner 2000 miles on clock (2100 now). And it's true what they say it's nicer to look at than drive!

[skip_1]

That replica is really good, comparing the two.
