What do you drive?
Discussion
I love my Saab but having spent a lot of money on it over the last few years I only use it in the Sun so I have been driving it at weekends
I then have a C Class but for hacking around here in Mid Devon I have a car that nobody else on here would drive a Green Peugeot Partner combi 2.0 HDI !
I see myself in shop windows and it looks like I have given up on life but with 250K on the clock it has never let us down and I have even driven 600 to 800 miles in a day when things are busy .
When it comes to running old French Vans I am the self proclaimed king of the long distance French van !
Here is one I was running a view years ago

Daily that isn't a daily anymore now I WFH -Freelander 2 Metropolis - mapped to 230hp, bought it to tow with but doesn't even do that anymore. Thought about selling it but as and when I need it, it's always been super dependable, comfy and not slow.
Mini cooper S paceman - the Mrs car but everything is shared, I drive it as much if not more than she does. Other than the horrific run flats it's on its a nice car. Here's the only crap pic I have of it.
My two babies... My Iveco 65C18 ex snap on truck which I use to transport my Spire GT3 race car. Pretty sure the truck has been mapped at some point as it's pretty fast for what it is. Has full electrics, got a TV in there, 4 leisure batteries, inverter, mains hookup etc. Absolute revelation for racing and much easier to transport the car.
Also.. not a car but acquired this the other day

I'm 30, and I've got this old tank (bit dusty but so what) 2011 SDV6 HSE
And this, which is pretty shagged, but I've had it 9 years and can't really bear to part with it
Only a 520, but at least it has a lovely 6 cylinder noise - the proper BMW sound.

I think I've replied in this thread although I'm 40 now. I still have my 2006 Megane 225, 2010 Twingo 133, 2007 CLS63 and a 2003 Shogun Sport.
My S Class is up for sale currently but has been replaced with this CL500 for daily duties alongside the Shogun. It goes well, sounds nice, I think it's got real presence and despite it's criticisms (and potential costs) the ABC suspension is impressive.

Nothing for me at the minute. Always had a car / van since I was 21 so it's a bit of a shock! The Mrs has a car so I'm ok if I'm desperate.
Working from home currently so no real need for a car. I'm not jumping into a new car, looking at the ridiculous leasing prices currently! Nor am I paying over the odds for a used car.
I can wait

49 and 18/12ths sorry I mean 50...
Daily driver, I don't any more as I work from home. Chunter about town in Mrs. blackscooby's very aging BMW 1 Series 120d.
I had an immaculate BMW F11 520d, immaculate in and out. (now the Mrs drives it)
Now she drives it it's turned into a uncared for commuter car for her.
Sadly the 520d has no love in this house... It was bought when I commuted a lot and it was an economical and sensible purchase.
Now I detest it's lifeless 4 pot. It has no character.
Just looked and I don't have a single photo of it !
That says a lot in my book...

Alfa Romeo RZ which I've had since '98, Abarth 595 which I've had since last year, and Saab 93 Wagon which we've had for about 10 years. I think this is the only picture I have of the Saab, which tells you something.
Still have the Alfa Romeo RZ, but the Saab has gone in place of a Mini Countryman Hybrid, and the Abarth was replaced by a Mini Electric Alfa Romeo RZ which I've had since '98, Abarth 595 which I've had since last year, and Saab 93 Wagon which we've had for about 10 years.
