I've never been brave enough to start a new thread, but this genuinely interests me...

I'm assuming most of us on PH own more than one car, but are the cars we've chosen all PH friendly? Mine aren't.

So, list your cars and state their main use in no more than five words to keep things simple and to the point.

Here's mine...

Impreza : For the weekend
205 GTI-6 : For the race track
Rover 75 CDT Tourer : For everything else

Maybe you should have done a poll first to see how many people have more than one car - I've never had more than one.

Fiat Seicento Sporting - A fun car,

RS Clio 197 - everything. Hard to get out of!

I bought the Clio as my first 'grown up' car, and I love it, but I can't bring myself to get rid of the Fiat. It has been so good and it genuinely is a riot to drive without endangering my licence. In a way, it's more PH than the Renault!

Hmmm... I'm interested in WHY we own more than one car rather than WHO. Thanks though.

My priorities are spot on....

1 Bicycle.. in bits in the shed!

Mazda MX3 ... Commuter shed, tip runs etc
BMW 528 (1985 e28)... Weekend jaunts
Scimitar GTE... In bits will eventually be a weekend fun car, hopefully.

'05 Ford Fiesta Diesel - something to collect parking dings at supermarkets.
'63 Riley 1.5 - so i can be bored by people telling me they/their dad/uncle/neighbour used to have one.
'65 Riley 1.5 in pieces - everyone should have a project they'll never finish.
'95 Mercedes E320 Coupe - because I was curious and the seller was local.

Skoda Superb L&K the other half drives this as her everyday car 140bhp
Saab 9000 CSE my everyday car and general dogsbody car 200bhp
Mercedes SLK 32AMG the other halfs summer car 352bhp
Brabus 190e 3.6 24v my summer car 285bhp

I need to tune the Saab because I am 37bhp short of 1000hp on the drive.
