My daily driver is a 2006 X-Type 3.0
Lovely to waft home in this after a crappy shift, and the 4WD is very handy in winter.

The wife's car, which doubles up as the family car, a 2011 XF 5.0 S Premium Luxury



It is better in every way than we could ever have expected, and with a Spires exhaust, sounds gorgeous. ( I think due to the firing order, actually sounds better than the 'Ro paperbag Not as loud though!)

Misses drives an XF 5.0??

She wants to save up and get a supercharged mustang... So iit's quicker than mine... I'm not allowing this to happen, can't have my other half with a Ford faster than mine... So soon I might be sellingkidneys to buy a ssupercharger

I have a fully loaded 2001 Rover 75 Connosieur SE 2.5 V6 Auto in lovely pale metallic blue with matching dark blue leather interior, when I say fully loaded it has everything, heated electric memory seats, climate, electric rear blind, power fold heated mirrors, electric sunroof, cruise, traction control, sat nav, 6 disc cd, electric dipping rear view mirror, alloys etc.

I paid £500 for it a month or so ago!

We also have a Renault Clio and a Land Rover Freelander 2.5 V6 Auto too.

The only thing my drive is missing right now is the 'main' car, my supercharged VXR8!! Still waiting on DVLA/HMRC before collecting it!

It's a company car, kind of............

She gets a car allowance, and the car has to be "of suitable managerial quality" rolleyes

That to most people would mean a 320d or some sludge grey Audi derv, but as she only does around 8k miles per yer, it's just not cost effective to go down the diesel route. We very nearly got a lovely metallic blue XFR, but the day I went along to put a deposit down, it had sold. Anyways, her car is 2 years newer and has the same interior and toys, and goes like greased weasel shyte wink

Me, the VXR8 as the daily
Wife drives a Volvo V50 T5 for the sensible trips wink (dog, shopping, camping, tip etc!)

Sold the Hemi Jeep 4x4 but will rectify that situation once house is finished, next year hopefully....reckon a lifted, modded Jeep Wrangler may be the weapon of choice, I do miss the off-road adventures!

Astra GTC VXR


They're purty, any pics? Is it blue?


nah went for white so if its as bad as some say for stone chips they wont show up as badly, came with the aero pack and not much else but at 21750 new otr and 185 quid to insure it would have been rude not to buy it.

Same here. VXR8 is my only car. Nothing else required. I even drive it in the snow! Definitely putting winter tyres on this year though smile

We have a small van at work that I drive probably a handful of times a year at best.

Nissan Leaf.



Shows up a few short comings in the Monaro and the Nissan dealer experience is certainly vastly superior to Vauxhalls, but it sure is pig ugly!

Never ever ever ever ever thought I'd see an electric car here. What I don't get and don't be offended is why they make electric cars so ugly??
