Previous was a '99 5 series, next will probably be an S class merc when I need a second car. Criteria for me goes as far as rwd and as close to £1k as possible, I can't justify new stuff as I like big engines and refuse to pay silly amounts of road tax for something that rarely moves hehe

My snotter is an Executive car would you believe, look, it even says so on the back hehe

300 Quid's worth of Toyota Carina. Meticulously looked after by previous owner, proper old school chap. Few cosmetic bits need attention but not really bothered.

It's meant as a stop gap until I find a nice Alfa 147 2.0 Lusso in a colour and spec combo I like thumbup

Probably end up keeping the Carina though, much to good to scrap.

Not many of these seem to be snotters, lots of very tidy daily drivers.

Slightly more snotterish than some on here but still a fine set of daily wheels (in my opinion) I drive a mk5 Golf GTi by day, it recently replaced an unreliable diesel Saab. One thing the Saab did do well was to make the TVR feel even more special, the Golf is encroaching (albeit only slightly) on the TVR's fun appeal.

O.M.F.G...you lucky, lucky B...D!
Ok, back on topic, my previous daily snotter was an £800 ebay special...Jag S type... really nice motor until I got the sense that the j gate auto was about to fail, so chopped it in. My industry has started to pick up so had a few extra notes and bought an Audi S6 4.2 litre tow truck for the Griff seems like full circle, I sold my S6 9 yrs ago to get into TVR ownership so now I have the best of both worlds cool

Been using my daughters 1.2 Micra for the last few weeks as I'm inbetween cars, really enjoying it.

I clocked up 500 miles in it last week including 4 London visits and it averaged 52 mpg, result!

Looking at a 3.0D M Sport X3 tomorrow, not a snotter, more of a Deutches rotter!
