What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

Insurance is too expensive in the UK so I use public transport :D.

Mate, i grew up in East London, lived there and done that, Central Line was my daily transportation, i mean getting around London whilst driving a car its a bloody nightmare. I didn't have to worry about finding a parking space or insurance rubbish, thats the best thing about public transportation.

2009 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS

huuuuge step up from the Cobalt.

EDIT: It just occurred to me how everyone else has a ridiculously clean vehicle, while mine looks like I put it through a rallyx stage.... maybe I should find a better picture.

2004 BMW X5 4.4i

315hp

18"

Auxiliary input from BMW (1 week before the official iPod hookup came out sad.gif )

You can retrofit those easily. I had the same car with Nav. I had all kinds of mods on it. Not too hard to do.

Just search out IBUS X5 IPOD. Your vehicle uses an I-bus for communication.

I do miss that car. I now have the newer X5 that is hard to make mods to.

Something like this:

It's a 2011, Ford Focus Titanium X 2.0 Diesel (automatic)

I will admit that it is my company car and my own personal Car is a 2003 Pugeot 307 that I will be looking to get rid of soon as i think it may be on its way to the big car park in the sky soon!

My 2012 Trek road bike, it gets infinity to the gallon :) It has over a 1000 miles and its a well built and great riding bike! Oh, I forgot, I drive a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and its an excellent suv (not MPG wise) :laugh:

Currently an '92 Mercedes 230CE but I think I'm going to switch to an Audi A8 as it's more spacious, more comfortable and a tad newer. Why I mention spacious is because I'm almost 2m tall and the CE is a bit small for me since I can't regulate the steering wheel height :(

My new car (since March) is a 2013 Mazda 3 R.

In Chile the SkyActiv engine is not available yet (only in the CX-5 and the New Mazda 6), so it has the traditional 150 HP 2.0L 5-speed with paddle shift. Not a economic car, but very fun to drive...

Nice! That's a rareish car these days. My friend drives a 300CE, great car

Silver 2013 Kia Rio.

Nothing fancy, but gets fantastic (~35mpg) gas mileage and really fun to drive with the autostick.

Stock audio is awful though... gotta do something about that. :)

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
