We're always keen to hear about the cars PHers own and drive and Carpool is your chance to share your pride and joy with the world. Well, the world of PistonHeads at least.
And like that world Carpool is as diverse and open as you'd hope. If you've ever attended a Sunday Service you'll know supercars are as welcome as Sheds, classics and hot hatches so if you've got an interesting car and a story to tell about it we'd love to hear from you. You can get a flavour of previous Carpools from the hub page here - as you'll see PHers are nothing if not eclectic in their choices!
Fancy giving it a go? The template Q&A can be found below with a few tips and pointers on the kind of thing we want to hear about so simply cut and paste it into an email addressed to Carpool@PistonHeads.com, fill it in, attach some pics to accompany it (half a dozen or so at decent resolution if poss) and hit send. We do sometimes have a bit of a backlog or pick and choose cars that tie in with what else we're writing about that week but, rest assured, you'll get your 15 minutes at some point down the way.
Thanks in advance - we look forward to hearing about your cars!

Name:
Car:
Owned since:
Previously owned:
Why I bought it:
<Was it a car you'd always dreamed of owning? Did your dad used to have one? Any random anecdotes about why you chose the car and also a chance to talk about how and where you found it>
What I wish I'd known:
<Opportunity to talk about how you researched the car and what, since buying it, you've found out about your car specifically or the model in general. A chance to share some buying tips with people who might be inspired to follow in your footsteps!>
Things I love:
<Kind of following on from 'Why I bought it' but write about the things that make ownership worthwhile - the noise it makes when you upshift on the redline, the smell of the leather, taking it out at 6am on a Sunday morning, social meets with other owners, etc>
Things I hate:
<Social meets with other owners?! Niggles and problems that you've experienced first hand that might have cropped up, the way it takes ages to de-mist in the morning - whatever!>
Costs:
<How much it costs to run, whether it was easy/difficult/cheap/expensive to insure, parts prices and, where applicable, ease of sourcing them and a chance to namecheck the friendly local garage you'll shortly be approaching for a discount because you mentioned them on PistonHeads...>
Where I've been:
<Memorable trips, track days, adventures>
What next?
<Selling it? If so why and what are you going to replace it with? Or is it a keeper? Any planned upgrades or work to do?>
