A car for every occasion.



Family car: Mondeo ST 220 with 65k and all the good stuff inside.



Commuting car: BMW 530i with only 1 owner and 72k and FBMWSH.



General duties: Discovery 2 TD5. Has had most of the usual bits done. I like the straight through pipe for that turbo whistle.

lol - pretty much the same. Isuzu trooper for the grunty stuff, a 5 series for the nice stuff, and an A4 Tdi for the general bumming about stuff. Perfect (except for the tax VED bill).

It is amazing what you can buy for very little relative outlay.

Thinking of some of the following next:

Mondeo replacement:

Passat R36
Mercedes E500
Chrysler 300C

BMW 530i replacement:

BMW 335i
BMW 645 / 650i
BMW 545 / 550i


Fun car:

Z4 3.0
E46 M3
B6 S4

Could you get by with 2 of those, and a weekend toy?

The Land Rover is coming with me to the Falklands to use there and may well stay there. However, I am coming quite attached to it. Will be buying myself a toy when I come back and perhaps another bike as I have sold mine recently.

2001 Honda Blackbird with only 12k on the clock! Also pictured was my C320 CDI - great car.

That's pretty good selection for the budget smile

Very nice house too!

Nice drive in the Discovery to a County Show today - climate not working so roofs and windows open through the beautiful Hampshire countryside. Loads of bikes out today of all shapes and sizes. Cracking day for it.

Which county show? Didnt think there were any on this weekend. Especially as close to Dorset as Hampshire.

How funny. Almost posted the same topic earlier. But my £15k fleet. Cayenne Turbo. Subaru Outback and a little 50cc Vespa. Happy days.

What a cracking fleet, this highlights just how much metal can be bought for a relatively small outlay

Big fan of the Discovery, not so much the nudge bars, and it looks like an ES too, nice choice, I dearly miss mine

I meant XJR - must be the heat!

I think the plates are fine - a bit of fun for a few quid. One of the chaps near me has 3 x Volvos (all new) with R100, R200 and R300 plus their initials and it looks rather good. I have never bought one as the Discovery came with them. Closest was my old TVR with OIL 6246 which looks private but is actual Irish.
