I like to have a car for each task rather than a jack of all trades. Ive done that in the past with an Impreza, RX8 and 330ci but now I've gone the other way

My current fleet consists of:

BMW 320td compact - Long journeys
Mitsubishi Pajero - Offroading, dog walking, going to the tip
Lotus Elise 111R - FUN !!

Here they are :





Lets see your well rounded fleets smile

EDIT - I know they are all filthy. It seems impossible to keep anything clean at this time of year living in the sticks

56 Civic Type S Diesel - Cheap commute, boring journeys, dump etc
52 Integra DC5 - Mrs Car, used sparingly only when 2 cars needed at same time or
a change to the daily grind
93 Impreza WRX (tastefully modified 325 horses) - A minter for Summer fun

Supercharged Mustang for best/ the few occasions when I don't have 3 children to transport round and when I have the fortune to have a day to myself.


The Mondeo which is the family car and fits all 5 of us and everything we need into it


Finally my daily sh*tter for tip and running round duties and hurling down country lanes duties - a 1996 Golf GTI Mk 3 8v

05 Citroen C4 VTR+ diesel : daily commuter, boring long journeys, shopping car, tip runs etc. has all the toys and runs on fresh air.

06 BMW Z4M Coupe : fun times and long distance jaunts, the odd driving day, dates.

59 Chevy Pickup truck, 468ci V8 450bhp/500lbft. 10mpg, lowered, disc braked nutty weapon : used for dry summer days on dry roads just after pay day!

I love my fleet and wouldn't know where to start if I had to change!

These 3 cover most Octane-burning requirements, thinking of adding a Defender to fill the gap as the other two sometimes bottom out on the farm track up to the Airstrip

An old photo, but here's mine.

The power, the glory, and the trolley (but in the opposite order of course...)

Terrible picture but I have a classic Mini for running around in daily, and an M3 for the weekends, or when the Mini doesn't work, or I'm hungry etc.

That said, I also have a Civic in my garage waiting to donate its engine to the Mini (VTEC project).

The weekend classic

The smart work car

The classic family barge

Apart from a 2 seater convertible or sports (and I'm working on it!), that has all bases covered for me.

Only 2 in my fleet too! frown I just floated the idea of a 3rd to the Mrs and she says "you have your push bike"...

Anyways, I do loads and loads of miles for work, so the daily is a PD 130 Octavia.

My kind of weekend fun for the moment:-

Not at all well rounded ........

Volvo 850 T5 (Track)


MR2 (Track)


Astra Coupe (Track)


Notice a trend ? (all are road legal and see road use) ..... not a bad fleet for an 18 year old I suppose smile
