In a forum full of MX5s, Pumas, 328s etc etc who has a car that is at the opposite end of the spectrum?

My entry is the family hack:



Audi A6 2.8 Auto Quattro Estate. Not quick, difficult to hustle along due to confused auto 'box and a bit of a money pit.

Who else has an un-ph car?

NOTE - car pictured is not mine and is for illustration purposes only smile

I would say my Citroen C4 1.6 HDi sx is less PH than that (by miles).

Thats pretty PH I'm afraid. Its a large engined Audi barge! Thread fail.

My wife's Peugeot 206 1.4 is about as un PH as you can get.

Our family car was a Fiat Ulysse diesel. That's pretty un-PH.

We replaced it with a gas-guzzling Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0, which I consider quite PH.

I must be doing it wrong then! I did once own a 1.6 306 banger but actually really enjoyed driving it...especially having to enter a code to get it started boxedin

Any car can be a PH car, so long as you didn't buy it entirely on "white goods" basis.

yes

It's about the driver not the car. It's about the enthusiasm, not the metal on the drive.

I have a 1.9dci 04 scenic for lugging the family and crap around. But funnily enough it's the car that never changes as I go through so many 'nice' cars

Meet 'Bob'.

Instead of going lower, Bob got higher. Instead of clean, he went dirty. Instead of fast... well, you get the picture. He's brilliant.

I've got a C4 Grand Picasso. The sheer mention of the word Picasso should make me the winner by miles. I did buy a petrol instead of a Diesel though, so I must win some PH points back for that?



I do like the digital dash though.

It would have to be a small underpowered diesel fwd auto car but with an expensive badge. Audi A1 or something of that ilk. Also more than likely to have white paint and big wheels. Also, maybe something which thinks it's sporty but really isn't like a VW Golf GT diesel or 1.9 tdi Audi A3 s-line scratchchin
