What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

Just bought my dream car in July: 1997 Cadillac Eldorado ETC:

32v 4.6L Northstar Engine:

Power seats, windows, mirrors

Boase speaker System

Wood grain and Leather interior.

Runs like a gem. I've been looking for one in this condition for almost 8 years.

You don't ask for cars so:

- Carbon frame

- Shimano Ultregra

- Zune HD surround system with Bose In-Ear headphone

- Power of one human

- Super light

- around 25 to 40 kilometers per hour

I did drive a '99 White Neon. 5 Speed with Headers; Performance CPU, Two 12s and an old refurbished Punch 40 Amp. Been out of a ride for a year now, no money for even a lemon. Have to rely on neighbors to help get to my numerous doctor appointments. Although they are a bit unreliable sometimes heh, but what can ya say, I appreciate anything these days. =)

I'm currently driving my first car which is a Citro?n Saxo 2000 1.1

It's normally only me and one other person in it, so it's not too bad.

My next car is going to be a VW Golf 2004 - not sure what litre since I'll only be 20.

My Street Sleeper:

2000 VW Bora TDI PD115, cosmetically standard, nice comfy car, heated leather, air con, traction control, usual electrics/refinements.

Sorry about the terrible photo, I took it on my iPhone :(

Tweaks:

2004 PD150 Engine transplant with 6 Speed Manual Box.

Allard EGR Delete kit

Allard Front Mount Intercooler. (very well hidden behind the original bumper cut out, all pipes anodised black for stealth)

Rebuilt multi vein turbo charger,

Uprated valves and lifters, rebuilt head.

Upgraded suspension (4-motion springs and shocks, r32 wishbones)

Custom rear anti roll bar.

Gutted Exhaust system (standard with no internals or baffles, still quiet somehow)

ECU mapped by Chipwizards Its mapped to run very lean, produces virtually no soot, no fuel waste and lots of power. He is a very talented ECU Mapper.

Short Shift kit.

Audi S3 Front Brakes.

Stats:

Power = 231.2 bhp at flywheel (202.2 bhp at wheels)

Torque = 378 lb/ft

0-60 = 6.5 seconds

Top speed = 140 (hitting limiter in 6th, isn't geared to go any faster)

Average MPG = 48

Urban MPG = 40

Motorway MPG = 58

Driving the car hard still manages to see 30-35mpg, Ive never owned a 200bhp+ car before that can manage those economy figures.

Its a lot of fun shocking people too :-)

    • yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53
    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
