This picture shows my entire transport strategy (apart from an Oyster card)
The classic Vespa I ride even less than I drive the Aston, and one of my many bicycles, which are easily my preferred way of getting around London.

I've got a BMW X5 as the everyday car, the DB9 is in the garage and the wife's got her BMW Mini cooper.
That was the same as me until last Autumn when I swapped the X5 for a FFRR.

Octavia VRS for me. 245bhp petrol and faster than it has any right to be, along with by far the biggest/most useful boot of any of the cars I've owned.

New RRS P400e hybrid should be arriving next week to replace it (I'm going to miss the Skoda!)

New Vantage as daily , GT8 for fun / theatre , Defender 90 for dogs / horsey stuff / snow , wife has RS3 as daily , Lotus Exige 410 whilst I can still get in and out easily / supercharger whine.
No need / desire for electric.

I've got the DB9 for fun and just about to ditch the vw tiguan and take delivery of a model 3 performance as a new company car.
Also helps that BIK tax will be dropped to 0% for full electric cars from April 20

N420 as my only car, but I don't need a car daily. Otherwise Uber, taxi or the Milan metro/public transport.

If I need a workhorse, my girlfriend has a 2012 Citroën Berlingo 1.6 diesel. biggrin

Both my garages are full, the Mondeo which is used for every day transport stays outside.

Here are my (too large) fleet actually :
The oldest : Chevrolet Caprice 350 from 77'


Another granny, my 88' Volvo 480 Turbo


Followed by a 96' Honda Prelude VTI 4WS


The 99' Db7 Vantage


The '00 ML320 that is very capable to carry heavy weights...


My Suzuki SV650 from '02


The Bmw 316ti that my girlfriend try very hard to kill


A RHD 02' MGF that I enjoy on track from time to time


Another RHD in the form of a '03 Bmw 330ci


And the most recent, '06 Mercedes R350, I wonder why I bought this one...


Almost every vehicle I owned was purchased out of order. That's how I enjoy them the most haha!

Nope, I'm petrol and petrol. I have the Vantage V12 S but also have a beautiful Audi RS2. I have all the boxes ticked except the economy box. But then I probably only do a out 4k miles per year across the two cars so I call myself fairly green with my driving and not pumping out too much ste.

As time passes, I like my current daily driver less and less. It's mediocre on fuel range - barely creeps over 300 miles on a tank. It sounds good for a 4 banger, but it's not as much fun to live with as it was initially. It's like a TARDIS on the inside though and allows for carrying the bits associated with the more fun side of the fleet though...


If I were a rich man, I'd have a Range Rover Sport like everyone else, but an XC60 would work


Not road legal, but occupies my time, and 4000 horsepower with no driver aids does the job.


And then she whom I spend no time with, unfortunately. I'm trying to remedy that though.
