Motors What do you drive? - The Photo Gallery

i am hoping to get my first car very soon, if everything pan's out then i will have something to post here

 

... sigh. I'm not even gonna bother. QFI.

 

Beat me to it, Gas is expensive, space is minimal, hatchbacks are affordable and easier on the eye.

 

What's with all the ugly trucks over there?

 

Here's mine:

2007 Saab 93 Aero
2.8l tubocharged V6, 250bhp
Sunny all year.

 

Currently:



on the weekends/ nights out..

and a POS 86 jeep wagoneer 4 banger as a Daily driver..


But if everything goes well, I'll be getting one of these in the next few weeks..



To replace the probe... (Not that actuall one, but the one i'm getting has same color and rims even.)

 

1998 (R reg. 65k miles) 2.5ltr [V6] Twin-Turbo Mitsubishi Legnum VR4 Estate...

276bhp @ 5500rpm
5-speed INVECS-II automatic gearbox
Multi-link sports suspension
Traction Control
All wheel drive
Active YAW Control
Air-Con

 

Great sleeper car if you ask me, most people don't know what they are and assume they have "normal" estate car performance.

 

I sure as hell didnt expect 276bhp from it! Very nice car!

 

i agree, still looks nice aswell!

 

It's [quite] a well disguised "sleeper car"... but it's also great for lugging loads of fishing gear around, whilst maintaining good road speed (legal road speeds of course )

The mpg barely reaches double-figures when she's laden with gear though -even when I do stick to the speed limits
I believe the maximum mpg quoted in the manual is 18mpg - unladen... which'll give you an idea of how much I get out of it (or don't to be more precise) around town, or loaded to the gunnels with three lots of course fishing gear

But hey... I knew when I bought it that I couldn't expect in the order of 30mpg from a 276bhp twin-turbo rocket-ship... and I'm more than happy with my end of the stick

Thanks mate... but that's primarily due to the bodywork being made entirely of aluminium (so there's no worry about rust ) - rather than my tender loving care

TLC isn't a primary concern if you use 'er to lug fishing gear around... and take it some of the places she's been in the process

 

heres my baby: Dannicka, a 5-spd laurel blue metallic 1990 honda accord lx sedan.

edit: here's my other baby (well not exactly, this is last years but is similar) my school's formula SAE car which i am desinging an electro-pneumatic shifter for (my avatar was an early design)

 

This will make you laugh .. a nissan primera ! with tinited windows in silver .. Yes a pimped nissan primera - how stupid do i feel. but it get's better....

Why ? company car .. but there's a twist ....

It's a jap import, so all the buttons are in japanese, so is the sat nav and all the information systems !

guess who doesn't read japanese !

The indicators and wipers are the wrong way round and .. it get's better ..

The radio only goes upto 90 FM. So being in the uk means that all i can get is radio 2. so it's good old Terry Wogan on the drive to work .. lovely.

 

I have to agree with you, The car companies over here have no taste.

 

No offense to you but my 4.3L v6 van gets over 18mpg (US gallons not brit gallons) and the engine makes 384lb of torque.

I know guys with over 400hp breaking 25mpg easily in corvettes some go as high as 30mpg. This past weekend I drove 180miles each way to rode island and that gave us about 23mpg average @85mph+ while the engine is a 4.2L inline 6 that makes 291hp and 300lb of torque and this was an suv @ 5000lb alone.

 

Well its been some time and I don't know if I posted here but my 01' VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition died about 6 months ago. I now have an 85.5 Porsche 944.

 

No offence taken at all. But those are the facts

From here in Chester, it's 355 miles to my mum's home in Scotland.
I have to refuel long before I get there! I'm only getting around 250 miles on a full tank

 

give yourself a chuffdy badge.
my car has 150torques and it does 56mpg but i don't need to willy wave all the time

 

Mine gets me nine miles per the gallon and more women than you could imagine.

 

Hell yeah... mines perfectly adaptable for the outcome of that too
