90's 'loons

My current work horse, cost me all of £100 and has done 18k miles with me. Now has 18" white alloys for that supertouring look





My old steed, loved this car soooo much, such a nice drive, was a bit of a shed tbh but it was smooth, quick and mega comfy, would buy another in the same colour.
Dyno'd at 149.8bhp at 120k miles, .2 bhp down on factory

My name's Chris...and I'm a 90's loon-aholic. My latest addition. '99 E55 AMG

My old dust collecting 90's loon had it for over 15yrs now, hopefully back on the road next year on classic insurance once 20 yrs old

I can only ever remember owning one saloon as they're too impractical
for me. Try getting a fridge freezer or a bonnet into a saloon!

Nah, they're second only to convertibles in their lack of flexibility!

My cars have to earn their keep.

I had to drive back from Oswestry to North Wales with a 3 door Astra door hanging out of my Vectra saloons boot, practicality is in the eye of the beholder

Having moved a 6' fridge freezer on the roof of a Mk2 Polo I can categorically say it's possible to do. Washing machines are a little more difficult, lifting them high enough to get them stood up in the boot can be hard work but it's not impossible.

You'd be amazed what you can shift with a saloon car if you put your mind to it. I've shifted a dining table and two chairs with my Rover 400, helped my brother move house with my Princess, transported numerous bulky things in both these cars too. Back in the 90s my Dad moved a free-standing electric organ in the boot of his Chevette saloon. In more recent years he used his Omega saloon to move a fridge freezer and a washing machine, though he may be cheating by having a trailer to do so.



Hatchbacks and estates are undoubtedly easier to load up but experience has taught me almost anything is possible if you want it badly enough.

My latest loon

I've added another 90's saloon to the fleet.

1997 Audi A6 2.8 V6 30v Quattro. Love it. Love big German saloons.

Here it is parked up next to my E55 AMG...
