this is all to do with kids and prams.....we have 2 cars but wifey wants us all to be in the same vehicle on our days out.The car I have now is less than 2 years old and I bought that so I could get the pram,the wife preferred,in the boot.My previous car to that was only a year old,so I lost £5000 on trade in for this one.Still it's only something to get you from A to B in a reasonable time and the least dis-comfort.

I like cars like everyone else, but I'm getting a mortgage soon and I don't want to be a slave to a car at the same time.

So why don't you whip out your money and start lighting cigars with fifty pound notes!  :D

I still got my college loan to contend with, should be gone next year, but it currently eats up around 25% of my net wages so I'll have to stick with my banger yet.

Vauxhall have just released the Holden HSV over here call the 'Monaro'

http://vauxhall.co.uk/showroo....ype=Car

I like the Monaro but they should have left it badged as a Holden cos I don't like Vauxhalls and I don't think that british car buyers will pay M3 money for a Vauxhall  :(

Still not as fast as my car though  :p  :;):

I like Honda's, the Type R series of Civics and Accords are nice, only problem is like a lot of NA cars you have to rev sh!t out of them to get the power as it's all in the high rev so they drink juice when you put your foot down where I find turbo cars are more econimical as you have power/torque from 2.5k revs when the turbo spools up  :cool:

Viper filter, never heard of Viper, I always use Nismo, HKS, APEXi or Greddy tuning bits, I have the below

Apexi 60mm boost gauge
Eibach 30mm springs
HKS Super Drager exhaust
HKS clutch
Rod Dot 12 grooved front discs and Redstuff pads
3" Stainless Steel manifold
Nismo strut brace
HKS Powerflow filter
Forge dumpvalve
Denso spark plugs
Bosch fuel pump
etc.

Running 14 psi of boost (1bar)

I plan to do the anti roll bars next  :cool:

Why are blokes so into cars?? You go down the pub and they just talk about cars, football or 'birds'.

How come nobody discusses literature or history? :alien:
