Seen this done on other bike forums - What do you lot all drive on a daily basis?.

I've had my current car for about 2 years now. It's a Vectra 3.0 V6 CDTi SRi.

2004 model, got a DTUK tuning box on there that gives it about 225bhp and 354ftlb of torque. For an oil burner its very quick!!!

Me other half has a wee 2001 Punto ELX puddle jumper.

Looking to trade the CDTi in next year against a Vectra VXR.

Anyhoo'....here's some pics of it.:thumbup

Nice Scooby, BIG UN!!!

My wee sister had one similar, until some thieving scroats broke into their house and stole the keys then nicked it last year :angry

My daily work drive is in this pic below. Used to be the first one in the picture, Volvo FL9, SN05, but tragically, it was involved in a road traffic collision earlier in the year which took the life of the officer in charge. Details here, some of you may have seen this on the news at the time:-

Hit us all at the station really badly, still not really came to terms with it. :no

We now run the Volvo FL6 as our wholetime pump that you can see right up at the end of the appliance bay, the 4th one in the pic.

Lexus LS400 1998

Bought my now 10 year old LS 400 last year for £3300 and I don't think I'll EVER sell it:inlove

296bhp VVTi V8 which has a habit of surprising a few 'boy racers' when i turn off the TCS:thumbup..............They see me, a 53yr old grey haired old **** behind the wheel in this rather 'staid' looking car and must think they'll have a bit of fun from the lights. Oh how I laugh to myself as i select 'sport' mode and 'TCS off':biggrin

0-60 in less than 6 seconds LOL

Once many years ago, I was showing a car mad guy from work how good bikes were, (Suzuki GT380 at the time, well I was 17) and had a race with a guy in a RS1800 Escort, I rode like a loon, cutting through traffic etc etc.. Pulled up at lights after miles of riding like this, and the guy in the Escort sat at the side of me, to make it worse, then stalled the bike setting off..Course the guy from work thought it was hilarious..(He never did get a bike)
 
the escorts more fun than the scoob tbh,2.1 pinto engine,quick shift box,lsd,rwd.its brill.scoobs going next week,never gets used and what with the new road tax bollox,itll cost over £400 to tax next year.
just not worth it.they only made 300 of them and having only done 12,000 miles in 7 years,ill get my money back on her.hoping to be down to just the diesel van and my bike by august and the wifes renault laguna,need to get the outgoings down as everything keeps going up cept the wages these days ffs.
 
i have no car test so only the rsvr for me, missis has a fiat coupe 20v turbo, nice little car, and i do pinch the father in laws zxr6 when the weather really bad:confused
