Re: Show your car off here!
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'.

Made back when they were still functional.

Re: Show your car off here!
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.

:lol:
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.

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. :)
Re: Show your car off here!
I was thinkng more of the "off the shelf", drivers mate. Not overhauled, customized mentalness on wheels.
I've driven a good few Nissans (left as God intended) and they are good reliable cars and nice drivers.
Re: Show your car off here!
My 15 year old scrag of a brother drove me pa's Jag larst week.
That's a tad unfair, thought I, while swigging my bottle o lager.

And I was agreeing with you.
The rest was random addenda.
This post is grace. :)
Re: Show your car off here!
The problem with a lot of Jags is that they are all boot and bonnet. Big fecking long cars, but no actual space for people.
However if you are two up they are oft times magnificent. Not the BL ones tho', they didn't know how to make cars.

Stop starting sentences with conjunctions. It does you no credit.

Now what are you on aboot.
There's barely enough room for a BJ in most Jags.
Re: Show your car off here!
A local car. Don't really want to put a picture tho.
Re: Show your car off here!
I saw this beatiful bright shiny yellow v12 viper at a light a little while ago. I revved the engine on my 21 year old 200sx, he revved his. When the light changed I'd say he was half a mile ahead when I heard him shift into second.
Re: Show your car off here!
A 1999 Honda Accord LX is what I'll soon inherit from my parents. Not bad at all for a first car.

My first car was a Mercury Sable.:dabs:
On another note, it's really killing me not to have a truck now. It's becoming a neccessity.:(
Anytime I wanna bring supplies, piping, whateverthefuck, I have to fucking fold down my seats and manuever alla whicha way and in most cases, borrow my uncles pick-up (which ain't always available). Fuck.:angry:
Someone needs to come up with a decent big truck with decent gas mileage. They'd sell a phenomenal amount.
