Let's see which of fst's members and stars have the best car! I will be the judge of which car!


Currently The Best Car...

[tesco]

Don't got one yet. :noes:
My dad has a '97 dodge caravan sport. :P

[lee551]

do we need pics of the ones we own or can we post a fancied up factory pic of the same model? :P

[Barbarossa]

Can I submit the car I had before my current car? :unsure:

[Mr. Mulder]

^^ bit chavvy, needs a spoiler though.

I drive a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI GSR Tommi Makkinen Edition, in Gran Turismo robertfantasy land :geek: got it for a bargain second hand :ermm:

[Mr. Mulder]

chavs wish they had a cinquecento :snooty:

http://www.autozine.org/Car_Photo/Mitsubishi/Evo7_2.jpg

is this your car? if so, it needs to be more expensive.

[F. Canard]

Mine comes in uber-hawt and expensive silver :snooty:

The new Lancer is pretty cheap, £10,000 otr, Fifth Gear told me that :smilie4:

I bought a new one of those in April of last year. I'd always wanted one and heard they weren't going to make them anymore.

Weird that you got rid of yours (presumably) when you found out your missus was pregnant and I bought mine shortly after my lad was born.

I'm all for practicality :smilie4:

[Barbarossa]

No, I sold it before that, because it had a brazilian things wrong with it, that would have cost over a grand to fix.

The driver's door falling off was the last straw :no:

How old was it? I'm thinking this might not be a wise long term investment.

Here's mine, I took that pic last month because of my 1337 reverse parking skillz :smilie4:

[Barbarossa]

Ohh, Yours is the TF, which is (supposedly) much improved. :idunno:

Of course it's a good long-term investment. It's a car... :mellow:

Mine was built in 1997, and I sold it in 2004, so it was 7 years old. It had suspension problems, brake problems, and something was up with the engine computer because it kept over-revving when stationary.

The door thing was a joke. It sort of started "drooping", which then fecked up the central locking, so they had to take it off completely and remount it. Then they decided that they needed to replace the central locking because it was fecked. It was only later that I noticed that the repositioned door was actually rubbing against the front wing when you opened it. doh!

Of course, I informed the buyer of all these things when I sold it :sly:


How do you find filling up with petrol? On mine, it used to take ages because you can only squeeze the pump handle a little bit at a time, because otherwise it shuts off :frusty:

[Barbarossa]

Of course, when I said I missed it earlier in this fred, I am viewing it through the rose-tinted spectacles that I was wearing when I first bought it :smilie4:

I found it kept shutting off at first, I was used to filling up the the other car, but I've got used to it now - just got to hold it at a weird angle. I'm sure JP or Big Les will be along shortly to tell us it's because of the juxtaposition of the fuel injectors to the turny bits attached to the wheel maniframe. Or something equally fascinating.



I've not had any problems at all with it up to now, except Bo calling it a hairdresser's car :mellow:

Had to park there because I had beers in the boot and if I'd not managed to skillfully reverse into that space, I'd have had a three mile hike up hill and down dale to my mate's flat.

We don't really get many traffic wardens around here anyway.

That may be true for our Interstates but hardly descriptive of other merkin roads at all.
Granted, they may seem straight and featureless given the drunken oxen paths you're accustomed to.

I should definitely watch more American TV because I had no idea that your town and city roads have corners.

I honestly had no idea.

So, why did you think I was rodding by saying that I knew it wasn't but it looks like an XJS and that it looks nice.

Since it does look nice and it does look like an XJS but it isn't.

[Mr JP Fugley]

It looks fuck all like a 1971 XJS, it looks like a 1979 XJS. However clocker said it was 35 years of oldness.

A really nice looking car, but not very well made.

So, in essence, given the age, it is not an XJS. It does however look like a later model.

Hope that clears matters up.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Before anyone starts I'm joking, they really didn't make them in 1971.

It was a few years later than that. Certainly before 1979 tho'.

[j2k4]

I think it's a Datsun Z.


It is that-240Z model, 1971 vintage.

Made back when they were still functional.

I heard Peugeot make unreliable cars, is this also FACT?

[Mr JP Fugley]

I've got no problem with Peugeots, but my experience is very limited.

The reason I got the Renaults was because they are excellent value for money and have good safety features. They are nice looking, reliable, economic cars.

I specifically got the ones I did because they are group 2 insurance and are taxed at the lower level. Whilst still looking OK to an 18 year old. At least the black one is.

However I am a stunningly old person.

I just use the car for work, so it's his in the evening and at week-ends. If I need a car I'll use his Mam's. I'm using Mrs JP's for work this week as he is off , so he can have it all the time.

I think I said before, I specifically bought that one cause he liked the shape and colour, but with the wee engine and the security (RAID) the insurance is OK. It's actually quite nippy about town as it happens and a piece of pish to park.

[j2k4]

Nissan make good reliable cars. Fact.

Pretty good, true.

The Z cars made nice platforms for modification, too-I converted one each of the 240 and 260 to 302V8 Ford and 350V8 Chevrolet engines, respectively, and they were brutally fast; downright twitchy to drive.

Great, great fun. :)
