You make me cry, £80 to fill my current motor at 27mpg

I have started filling up with Tesco momentum 99, which eeks out a few more mpg, and the cars performance is improved, it's a pity the nearest places that have that fuel is Tesco at balby or the one at Scunny, unless Edenthorpe has started to sell it since the petrol station reopened

Doesn't a pint of beer cost about £100 in Dubai? 😄

Z3... I always thought you were a taxi driver, seems like you're actually a hairdresser!

Amazed to see how good people's memories are here especially with the engine sizes.

Think my contribution might be one of the smallest...shared a Ford Focus Zetec 1.6 with my brother whilst I lived at home, haven't had a car since I moved out almost 10 years ago.

I know them, cant see in the engine because the bonnet is higher than you. Have you seen Fords F150 Raptor?? 6.7ltr and as big as a house. Non of these would really fit UK roads.

About 8 pounds for a Stella in Juffair Bahrain. Don't go near Guinness though averaging around 12 to 14 a pint depending were you go.

Donnywolf once showed me a picture of his first car. It was alright but I remember thinking how cars have come a long way since the Ford model T.

[Donnywolf]

Ho Ho

Funnily enough I was second to post on this Thread and it started :

Model T Ford (joking but it will stop BB saying it !)

I then listed my Cars but thought better of it and "removed" it all

The Toyota's are very nice. I dont know if there available in the UK, but here Subaru have a near identical car if not  a bit sharper in the styling. And we all know Subaru boxer engines are proper power units.

Never had a car, just as well really as I've never learned to drive...

Years ago I went for an Interview for a new job, it was a windy day and by the time I'd biked to it I was more than a tad  windswept..... You'll have to excuse me, I said to Andy, my potential new boss... I came in my open topped vehicle... Sports car? He asked going over to the window for a look..

Nah says I, bycicle... 😀

I'm dreadful when I'm nervous but I got the job. Lol.

I've also had (albeit briefly between my cars) a seat arosa and a fiat panda and the Mrs currently has a clio.

I like the avensis, I liked the Sierra but the best one of mine was without doubt the celica - I loved that car!
