I do drive, have been for about 7 years or so. My car is an Audi 80, but this is currently off the road :( Hope to have it up and running again in the next few weeks.

Driving a 2000 Ford Mondeo.  Bloody big tank of a thing, but its not a bad motor.  I've been driving for over 8 years now and I still hate it. I won't be able to afford the chauffeur on my wages just yet.......

I have been driving for eight years.



Just bought a new astra in the summer and because I have to travel bout 40 miles to work I have nearly 20000 miles already.  Think I need a pay rise to pay for all the petrol I have to put in it.

Oh, one thing, how many kids have the drivers nearly ran over in the snow because the kids were too stupid to watch where they were going?

I have been driving for about 10 years, I have a Toyota Picnic which is the most comfortable cat i have ever driven. In response to an earlier comment I have lost count of the number of kids I have nearly run over because they do not look where they are going. I only have 1 mile to drive to work which is brilliant, in a previous job I was driving 80 miles a day.  8)

I've been drivin about 8 1/2 years, it's a 2 minute walk at most but I drive anyway :) Means I can get to the shop quicker at break/lunch.



Citroen Saxo but wish I didn't, it's useless and has been since I bought it, hopin to get a focus at some point...

A car forum!! Excellent!

I drive a vtec prelude. Its the 4th generation model.

Its a fantastic car but a little thirsty as I drive a 40 mile round trip to work each day.

Any other honda-nuts out there?

I've been driving for about 10 years - don't do snow I'm afraid after nearly parking inside a moving bus three years ago.



I can get the kids without the snow.  Driving into our school the parents stop damn near in the middle of the road and let their precious darlings out of the car on the road side.  Requires a lot of willpower to miss them!!! 8)

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realise that what you heard me say was not what I meant.
