What are you driving?

[Philby21]

Currently driving a 2006 Saab 9-5 diesel estate - absolutely cavernous inside and excellent for transporting all my gear (yes, I take too much!), had it a few years now and it's been a great car.  Drove from North Wales down to Dorset in one hit and got out without any aches and pains - highly recommended just for the seat comfort!  Only problem is what to replace it with when the time comes, considered a Mitsubishi Shogun but can't really live with 25mpg, looks like it's going to have to be a Mercedes E class estate, preferably the E330 (440 lbs/ft of torque anyone?) and still mid 30s mpg, plus the huge carrying capacity.

Then, between the wife and I: 2001 Honda Fireblade, 1994 CBR600FM, 2000 CBR600FY, planning on adding a CBF1000 with full luggage to the collection next year.  Yes, we like our Hondas, the wife is regalia and social media secretary for the Honda Owners Club and I'm the webmaster!

I'm 25, and I drive a 20 year old automatic volvo estate, it's big, comfy, smooth and it feels safe. 

It fits 4 people and a shit tonne of gear in while still having plenty of room to cruise to airsoft sites. 

I counteract this with a suzuki Tl1000r, which is the motoring equivalent of trying to ride a hungry shark. 

Though it's having a major service atm and will be back on the road next year wearing Barry sheene colours.

Got bored of my old dad car VW Passat. Whilst it was a perfectly good functional unit of car, it was terribly, terribly dull. So I treated myself to this :3 Jag XE R-Sports. Absolutely love it. It is however completely impractical for airsofting as the boot is big enough for about  2 bags of shopping and there is no way Id want to take it up the absolutely dire off road paths most airsoft sites have.

Just means Ill have to buy that Ford Ranger Ive always wanted as well to go airsofting in

Lol, I know, but I'm a terrible mickey taker.....

@Tiercel, it's very nice, bet it's a lot more comfy than the Passat, I found the seats to be like planks.

 

[DopeYourScope]

Was going to say the XE is 3 series size. @Tiercel what engine did you get?

To day I am driving the new Defender ?

 

[AlphaBear]

Just a humble coupe in Sapphire Black with 20inch alloys...

And I do use my indicators contrary to popular belief.... ?

@Enid_Puceflange actually looks cool being so modern with old steelies!!

Is it any good though, or just another Chelsea Wagon (like my Disco3 ??)

 

[Davegolf]

Certainly nothing like my GR Patrol ?

It’s a totally different beast to everything else from the brand

its 3 times stiffer than Discovery 5 , and you can actually feel that there is more torsional rigidity in it,  and its HUGE 

Like waaay bigger than Disco 5

Thats the bosses one next to a D5 ?

Is that a wrap or a custom paint job? The blue looks stunning...

I'd better give mine a clean and wax lol

Sad, yes they did gain the nickname Nissan "Parole" from ram raids.

4.2s are a rare beastie in the U.K. too.

@Enid_Puceflange is it actually big inside though, my MK2 Golf has more internal space than a D3

I do worry that vehicles are getting to American dimensions yet all our car parks only have bays fit for Aigo's

 

[Cromulon1994]

This. 

It's not subtle.
