Civic Type R, with Spoon exhaust, spoon lowered and rota wheels.

an old, old, old corolla, 1.6. its an old mans car for sitting in traffic, goes ok, keeps me dry. what more is a car supposed to do ?

The reason for the survey which is slightly biased was to answer are bikers people who:

1) Enjoy going quickly from a to b by any means. These people use their cars as daily drivers but they are sporty or modified to go quickly and drive enthusiastically.

2) Enjoy the thrills of riding a bike and hence not too concerned about there cars. These people use there cars to get from a to b without leathers.

I used to be in the 1st catergory until my car crash then I drive a boring car sensibly but ride by bike more briskly.

From the poll it seems clear that a lot of people are more interested in biking (since it is clearly better) than driving.

MY99 320bhp Impreza Turbo.
It kicks arse in the twisties. More fun than the bike when it's damp lol.

But I'm gonna sell it soon and get a 530d beemer. The business can pay for all my diesel then

Also got a Fiat Ducato van which is oh so handy for track days!

No car license! What happens when you want to move/carry something too big for a bus/train/bike?

This poll was just out of curiosity (but yes i am studying economics.)

I'm the same as Funky. I dont have a car liscence, nor do any of my 4 good biker mates.

We use our women for shelterd transportation. ;)

I have a Ford Focus 1.9 TDi and drive it like a right pussy. Speed limits all the way for me.

F*cked Ford Transit.
Because I dont want to spend to much on a 4 wheeled vehicle, but the insurance is a killer, 4 times what it is for my ZX636!!!

I do hammer it though, sideways (empty and rear wheel drive) and redline every gear, and I use it for work as I wouldnt dare park my bike where my office is!!!!!

No car but if I did it would be cheap to buy, cheap to run and good on fuel. don't see the point in a fast shopping trolley.
