  1. What do you drive? Do you like it? Good and bad points? Any advice?

    What do you want?

    What is your lottery car?

    Me, an A5 3.0 Quattro Black Edition. I absolutely love it and cant find a fault. Had it 18 months now and it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

    I really want an RS5, though, so I'm going to have to do some financial shoogling.

    Having done a few trackdays, I'm really torn for my supercar purchase.

    I absolutely love the Gallardo and it is amazing to drive and look at, but the Porsche 997 Turbo is just absolutely immense....for me, the perfect car.

    Slightly less than 400,000 miles on the clock.

    Runs on peanut butter.

  5. Honda Jazz we have just now. Reliable, good MPG and decent sized boot for our trips away. We're looking to trade for an SUV in the next year.

    Dream car is the Ferrari F430, quite simply the most beautiful car ever made.

  6. I'm assuming you're in the States where the £7 per gallon is not a problem :smiley-laughing002:

  7. I thought that too, until the 458 came along.

    Still love my Gallardo or 997, though :smiley-laughing002:

  8. stunning machine but for me the best looking car is the zonda.

  9. The Zonda is a bit too busy for my liking.

    Looks like it was designed by a 10 year old on the back of his school jotter. :smiley-laughing002:

  10. Had to look up the 458 there. You are right, that is a good looking machine.

    Still the 430 for me though, always has been and I'm set in my ways. :smiley-laughing002:

  14. The missus has been making eyes at a Range Rover. Had to reign her in a bit.

    If she wants an SUV then she can get a Suzuki SX4, 67 MPG. :smiley-laughing002:

  15. Pea and ham? From a chicken? Now that's clever :50:

    Dream car? Maybe an Aston Martin DB9

  17. Aye * that.

    Had an X5 for over a year and got * off at the expense of running it.

    Used red diesel in it which was ok,but spent every journey wondering if the customs were round the next corner.

    So if i am ever buying something like that again,it will be a brand new one,warranty to cover broken parts and * like that.

  19. Ooft!

    I'd be pushing that thing everywhere if that was my MPG.

  20. From the Mearns down to Prestwick he gets 24.... still doesnt take his average much above 12/13....

    Serves him right for buying an abomination of a motor :smiley-laughing002:
