Discuss what you drive, what you would like to drive one day and.......any other stuff about cars.
My folks have a Mercedes A-class and have just bought a Skoda Fabia which I'll be using to get around.
But I ahve a car of my own. It's a 1971 Morris Minor Traveller which I'm slowly doing up. The brakes have been overhauled, much work has been done to the engine and the bodywork is currently undergoing major surgery. But I'm glad to say, it's about a month or so away from running again.

Well, I don't have a car (and I'm not keen on driving, either) as I'm too young, but in my life-time, Mum & Dad have had four cars... Red Vauxhall Nova (E Reg.) Black Seat Ibiza (N Reg.) Red Seat Ibiza (Y Reg.) Champagne Seat Leon (04 Reg.) The Leon is what we currently have, it's a nice car, too.

What I'd like to drive? Hard to say. But one car I would like is a 1960's Ford Mustang. That car had some muscle. ;D

I don't drive myself- since most of my business is carried out in the city of London, it's quicker and cheaper to travel by train and Tube. However, my dad is a big fan of the automobile, with an eye for a bargain. As a result, we have an Alfa Romeo (not sure what model), a Porsche (ditto, it looks like it's been booted up the backside if that helps identify it) and an Alvis TA14. The latter is my favourite, as it oozes 1940s style and, as we memorably discovered once, it is more than a match for any milk lorry. I'm not really into modern cars, I have to say. I like older cars, with that understated style. Having said that, a 1920s Duesenberg would make me very happy.

I have a Toyota Camery right now. I like huge station wagons, but they don't make them anymore.
I'm surprised no-one thought of this. A Stanley Steamer would be a cool car to own.

I would like to own a 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am one day (the car from 'Knight Rider' in other words). I don't like all American cars over British makes, but this car is one of the exceptions.

Hmmmmmmm, My dream car is *thinks* a 1975 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird ;D. With a 5.8 Liter V8 stick shift. Man those things sound like a 1980's Leyland Tiger (a bus) which I also want ;D. But there pipe dreams at the moment cause I own a 1981 Mazda 323. Shady

I love my car. I've got a Vauxhall Corsa X-reg 1.2L, and it might not be a very big or very flash car, but it's a brilliant little car. Had it for almost 2 years now, and done a fair bit of travelling in it, couldn't do without a good car in my life now!
Dream cars - Mercedes! Subaru Jaguar Range Rover...something big and flash!

The only car I've ever dreampt of owning is one of the old VW Beetles. And yes, I'd probably do it up so it looks like Herbie too! ;D

For the past three years and counting, I've been driving a 1993 Chrysler LeBaron convertible, fondly referred to as "Lexxi." She's been through a lot of mishaps in the time I've had her, including a hailstorm, two incidents with other people's lousy parking jobs (one of which was my own mother), and a bout with a sand trap at the end of a canyon road 12 miles out of town. But I love her to death...she's the first car I've ever owned, and she's definitely got spirit!
Dream cars...I want an F-150 pickup truck, plain and simple. Cargo space, 4-wheel drive...what more could I possibly want from a vehicle?

When it comes to cars, I prefer Sports cars. I don't have a car yet, but we currently own a silver Toyota Previa, a silver Toyota Yaris and a Mitsubishi Colt which belongs to my sister. We previously owned a red Nissan Micra, a dark blue Ford Galaxy and a Nissan Serena. If I get older, I would like to have a Metallic Blue Honda Civic Type-R and I might eventually add an Autobot symbol on the hood!

I'm a classic car man Chris. I used to own a Morris 1100 before my friend got rid of it. I had it at her place due to a lack of space at mine. I so wanted to do it up but being 16 (at the time, now 18) money was a problem. I wouldn't mind finding one again and doing it up, along with a Morris Mini 850 (?) KDK (Knock Down Kit). Oh and Stepneydude I'd love a tank and steam roller. One problem... You can't drive a tank on the road legaly, but I don't think the police will bother you if you do though

Ryan... you would have loved my Dad's old car.. A limited edition Subaru Impreza Series McRae, 1 of 199 built, with blue rally-style paint and gold alloys, tuned up engine, personalised number plate (P555STE - Prodrive 555 (Subaru Rally Team) Subaru Technica Engineering). Was awesome... then we sold it and got a Land Rover Defender... Currently I have a Nissan Almera 1.6 SRi (The sporty version), drives like a go-kart and possibly the most powerful car in school! Best birthday present ever!
