This is outrageous for a visiting fan....  LondonBlue has earned 10 of 14 ranks, and is in the top 18% of all members! ...You all need to up your game !!!

Build issues aside, the Tesla has been the best car I've owned. 0-60 in 4s, 300ml range, TV you can watch Netflix on, Spotify integration etc.

Erm no, it’s supposed to be a car, an extremely expensive one at that.

The Tesla in my rear view mirror as my Hyundai i10 powers up to 60mph in a leisurely 12.5 seconds

A conservative estimate 

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 4296]

Well I love my new Audi, obviously it helps I get it through motability so I’m not worried about it depreciating at all.

Short reviews of cars I've owned 

 

Rover 200 - pile of shit that my mother had driven for years. I'm glad I crashed it.

BMW 1 series - absolute fucking money pit, ended up getting £900 off a garage who just wanted the parts.

Kia Ceed - perfectly fine hatchback, cheap to run, cheap to insure, 7 year warranty, would have kept it but salesman was a total cunt.

VW Polo - yeah, fine I guess. 

 

Caring about cars must come in your 50s, I suppose?

The opposite I'd say, younger lads are most into cars. Contrary to what's been said, I don't really give a shit about cars, which is why I've had the same model for 20 years, pure familiarity so I don't have to relearn any controls. I just want something that works and gets you from A to B without breaking down. Last two cars failed on this count unfortunately. Suppose Japanese cars are the answer although they are canny ugly.

I dunno, I've always been into cars to an extent, though I mostly keep that to myself, never been entirely willing to get into it as a money pit of a hobby though. Got enough of those already.

Renault Clio - typical first car, one of the suspension springs shattered into bits going over a speed bump once and all of its electrics failed

Kia Picanto - Slow as balls but reliably ate up miles when I had a long commute

Abarth 500 - Favourite car I ever owned, fucking brilliant, quite want to get another one

Peugeot 308 GT - Dash was shit, no physical buttons but a slow as fuck operating system/touch screen

Honda Fit - Moved to New Zealand, needed a car, wife drives this now

Nissan Fuga - Never even heard of these before moving out here, its big, its fast, it makes a great noise and since its an import theres a Japanese woman in the dash who yells at me occasionally. Brilliant.

Mrs B and me are so uninterested in cars that after years of driving shitbox Renault's with hilarious electrical issues we recently decided "fuck it, enough is enough" and ordered a Dacia, Renault's budget "sister" brand.

 

Looking forward to many more years of "when did the wipers stop working?" "Front wipers are fine but only work when the windshield fan is off and the child lock is on. Rear wiper is temperamental but usially springs to life after you indicate left a few times"

Aye. Got loads of lads in their forties taking about their motors at work. 

 

I couldn’t give a toss to be honest. The way the mrs drives (and generally looks after it) there would be no point in getting anything nice anyway.

[The Fish 11343]

The wife is more into cars than me to be honest. 

 

She was the one who advised I go for a 'better' brand for the BMW, arguing that while the car and the parts may cost more they wouldn't break as often. Well I spent north of £3k on fixing that and absolutely zero fixing the Kia, she can stick her car advice up her jacksie.

[wykikitoon 23298]

My wife's a petrol head.  She turns into a bit of a cunt when driving.  Mind you she gets that from her parents.

 

I'd be happy with a Berlingo tbh.  A car's a car.

Not sure i'm gonna like the answer to this but... where do i rank in the none Newcastle United  supporting members?

 

 

 

[LondonBlue 1048]

 

My wife's always been more into her cars than me. I remember she had a red peugot when we met, never really saw the attraction in cars but i did like the back seat of that peugot.

 

After her latest write off, she's taking a break from driving though. which is lucky for everyone else.
