what sort of car do you drive!

Honey Bee.I too have always wanted a VW camper,but when I mention it to my hubby he just does this :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I think they are lovely,especially now I have heard the other week that the Mexicons are now making them and shipping them over to here.It is said that you can pick them up for �£18,000 brand new,so I had better start saving.Might have enough by the time I am 60

 

I hadn't finished that last post.I was just about to say I drive a Ford KA.I know a lot of people don't like them, but it gets me from A-B and is quiet nippy.
The only bit I don't like is the colour,puple,as people round here call me the purple peril...and I love them too.

They started remaking the old beetle in Mexico in the early 90's. Would be great to see some new build classic VW campers about.

 

We had one for a while. It was a noisy rustbucket and was forever breaking down.
Now if it was redesigned along the lines of the new Beetle, I might be more impressed.

Here's a picture [not mine] of the only car I've ever had which I got excited about. Mine didn't have the posh tyres and back bits but otherwise the same, and my favourite colour, too!

:D

 

Cool liz, I think marge's husband drives one of these.

 

We have Honda Civic,illusion very sporty and fast,fifty years ago my first car was a Bradford Jowett,but the one i most remember was a 120 Jag i wish i had it now :( :(

 

Here you are, Honey Bee, where you can win one from Fanta as I mentioned above ...

 

Here's the cars I miss from the States ...

... a Plymouth Challenger Superbird with a 426 hemi ...



... not a very practical car at about 7 miles to the American gallon!

.... me and my Ford Pinto 2.0 in 1973. I loved this car. Same chassis as the Mercury Capri ...



... and a couple of my "English" cars ...

... my lovely Opel Manta ....



... and my fun Suzuki 200 (sadly only made for 2 years) ...



We drive a Renault Clio here and have a Transit van ... very practical!

 

I was always a biker - big BSA iron horses with a throaty roar and punch ups with Mods at Brighton. Moved on to a Triumph Tiger and then after marriage a Honda "Sewing Mahine" for commuting. First car and the only one I loved - a red Ford Anglia 105E. Worst car I owned was a Vauxhall Viva, best car was a Nissan Bluebird and I stuck to Nissans until I got my fastest, flashiest car which was a Ford Probe.

Now we have a Ford Fiesta (Mrs H's) and a Talbot camper which I bought after flogging the Probe when I retired 10 years ago. Simply superb - reliable, cruises happily at 80, sleeps 4, comes complete with kitchen, cooker, washroom, shower, underfloor heating and all mod cons. Been all over in it, wake up to a new view every morning and the whole of Britain is my back garden.

End of the day - everyone's pride and joy finishes up like this:

 

Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic, LoL

I collect Scalextric cars, Chevrolet Camaro's being my favourites. I couldn't get hold of a superbird but I could have had the v. similar Dodge Charger Daytona

Do I get the general impression you like it?

We had a 57 Chevy Bel Air in copper / cream when we first married. I traded my maple coffee table stereo (you lifted the hinged top and all the gear was inside) and t'other half's motorbike for it when he was at work! :D :D :D I thought it was more sensible transport than a bike for shopping! :D :rolleyes:

I saw so many cars on that site, my head swam ... I have e'd it to t'other half's computer so we can look at the same time, if need be! Shall go have another look!

 

LoL...wow! I nearly bought a 1957 Caddy Coupe de Ville convertible with the automatic hard top from a guy in Mexico City in 1979. He found me sleeping under it one morning and said it was mine for $200. I had just that much from a rowstabouting job in Canada, a week more holiday left, and a plane ticket, but didn't know how to get it back to the UK.

my first car was an MG Magnette, bought 2nd hand in 1961 by my Grandad. I got that in 1977, nearly had a Rover 3 Litre, then I got given a Rover 80 which I couldn't afford to fuel up so it was sold, then a Singer Gazelle, and a string of disreputable vans and trucks. Now I'm way posh with a 3 year old Transit truck that I bought new!!. Mrs J drives a Golf. Exciting - no, but they get us about without complications. Still dream of as Alvis though.

 

when i was living in the states i had a gold cadallac.
Have a 54 Audi A4 Tdi.
Going to jazzs tuesday going to borrow her digi to take photos will put car up then.
