Hi Further to the other favourite threads i thought i'd start one on cars!
I own a 1972 volkswagen Beetle which failed its MOT today, but hopefully shouldn't take much to fix.
What are your favourite cars?

This is my favorite car EVER... Its a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo! I've loved this car for ages, I almost crash my car when I see one cause I don't look where i'm going! I'm gonna post a picture of my car on here tomorrow! Cause I've had it modified (slightly) but I love my car.... almost as much as a GTO!

Here's my car, looking very shiney! I've had this car for nearly 3 years, never had any major prroblems, drove everywhere with it! Its had nearly £3,000 worth of modification done to it... £2,700 I didn't have to pay for next thing on the list... Alloy wheels! Then Lexus style rear lights! and lastly (hopefully) a cool private number plate! Oh if you look close enough in the rear passenger side window you can see my Gery Sticker!!... The ONLY advertising sticker I will allow in my car! (I had to put it in the side cause my spoiler gets in the way in the back! : :

Nice car Stuart So T does this mean you'll be spending the weekend in the garage swearing a lot My fav cars are minis (had 2 of them over the years) and a Mk 1 Golf GTI (had one of those too). I really like the car we have now too as its practical and good to drive and it looks a little bit like a hearse

My 1/4 mile should be in the 16s (minutes that is!). A standard 1300 beetle with drum brakes all round isn't exactly a machine built for speed but it is faster than Frankys datsun.

Now we have 4 dogs we have decided to be practical and get a van. We got a Vauxhall Vivaro that has air con and cd player, sliding side door and lift up tailgate and we added 4 large dog cages to it custom made by Barjo Engineering . It's really fab will have to get a photo for here. We all have soo much room now when we go away. PS my brother has recently got one of those red Mitsubihi GTO whatsits and I refused to go in it. TOO scary. It's his pride and joy and we have taken bets whether he loses his licence or his life first.. Men and cars! Helen

Stuart if you didn't spend all your money on TVs then you could save up and get a GTO... franky runs and hides! ;D
Helen our cars based on the van version and is so roomy, sliding doors at each side, easy to get kids in and out! Ours has air con and a CD player too. I've got use to loads of head room though and when i get in other peoples cars they seem really small! ;D

I have found that I am so used to being high up that getting in a car is weird now. Feels like sitting on the floor. I don't ever want to drive a car again. Loves me van!

Since we've not had time to do the datsun we sold it, it went off to its new home on Sunday (sorry we missed the bbq but he was supposed to collect it in the morning but didn't get here till later on). T's happy as hes now got more room in the garage to mess with his scooter
