What does your other half drive? Mine's just got...

[sparkyhx]

RAV 4 on lpg

[callyman]

Corsa C 1.4 SRI

Good little car.

[6potdave]

CMax - Cracking workhorse! We use it to lug the dogs around in and keep my MR2 for when it's just us. Cost a tad under 4K, never gone wrong in 2 years, returns 45mpg and pulls quite nicely. She's getting bored though, a change will be on the horizon this year I think.

[C.A.R.]

Kia Picanto 1.0

Crap. or Krap seems more apt.

Still, she thinks it's better because it's newer and the paint is a nicer colour. Oh, and it has more doors which is obviously better too.

[eltawater]

Her Ford Sportka - drives like a go-kart

I may have had a hand in its original purchase, but she's had it for nearly 5 years now and loves it. Only an R8 would tempt her away, except we cant afford that!

Its a bloody good car in every way and the most reliable car I've ever come across. Only consumables required in all that time.

A real high point in Honda's car making history IMO.

Oh. I honestly assumed reference to the Dyson...

[Whatty]

Where cars are concerned my missus is strictly the A-to-B type.

Exhibit A:




I imagine the Dyson cleaner above is more exciting to drive.

I rather like the Element...

1.0 Micra Activ when I met her.

330d (mapped) Manual Coupe now.


Serves her right for marrying a PHer.

I double-checked then because i could've so easily written that post.

Mine had a Kia Pic 1.0. A red one.

And it was grrrrrreat - as far as she was concerned - because it was brand new, had no miles on it, was bright red, and had 5 doors.

In fairness, it was mega-reliable and cost about £20 to fill up which lasted forver.

A brand new 5 door red Audi RS3 would be nice. A 1.0 Kia Pic though. Hmmm.

As a utility appliance its not bad: huge load space with the seats out, rubber floor can be hosed out etc.

But it only seats four and the 2.4 engine is a bit gutless and it guzzles fuel.

hello is that fozzymandeus? This is Garlick. Please hand your PH licence to your O/H, she is clearly better qualified for it than you

Hey! You're not Garlick! You're Morrissey!

SLK 200 Sport Pack which we will be having a top down day out in tomorrow

[saleen836]

Me - Supercharged Mustang
Her - BMW 330ci

She wont drive mine because the controls are on the wrong side

[PaulG40]

I went wrong somewhere...
Sensible vs fun

Me: Pug 306 2.0 HDi. I travel 75miles on twisty A roads a day.

Her: Smart Roadster. Lowered, remapped, sports pack etc, and fun! Travels 20miles a day. now she wants a VX220 Turbo though.

[Hairspray]

My OH currently has a Corsa for commuting, but since there will no longer be a commute soon he's looking at Jag XJS's. Which I may or may not have had a hand in.

[spudgun GB]

my car pool: 2003 Jaguar X type sport 2.5 and a mint 1987 Toyota MR2

Her indoors: 2004 Smart Roadster and a recently restored Pug 205 CTi.

She is the only person I know that has two soft tops.

In my limited experience, most women have two soft tops.

[Jam Spavlin]

1999 Peugeot 206 Grand Tourisme, she owns the car with the biggest displacement and biggest bumpers!
