 An absolute pleasure to drive to the office - a laid-back pottering machine. Also my oldest motor. |

mine is boring , vito van  and eurocargo transporter  That car on the transporter isnt an FD Victor by any chance? It looks suspiciously like one that was a Street Machine feature car back in the 80s, that one had gullwing doors. My boring mobile is a 2007 1.2 Clio. It has fantastic brakes, superb steering/handling and you have to really stir the cogs to make progress BUT it does return 40MPG plus, no matter how much i cane it, it is suprisingly fun to drive ( they have me on the straights and i do em on the bends) and, most important of all it makes me appreciate that much more, getting into my Retro on highdays and holidays and really enjoying it instead of having had the novelty well and truly wear off, by using it day in and day out. |

I alternate between the 3:    Today, I drove the Trump! |

And just to be different, I walk everywhere. The school run is impossible to do in a car, I work 5-10 minutes away from home and I don't drive anyway!  Before I had the kids, I worked in the town centre, so used the bus everyday. I also walk everywhere and can't drive, but not to be different. Just cos I'm rubbish ;D I did buy mountain bike today off eBay for 30 quid. And then spent £36 on a lock, lights and Allen keys to sort it out |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

no I make thermal blaggards from it If I gather some fuzz of me Back wheels, any chance you can entwine it with your Llama wool to create a rather fetching pair of sunglasses for me? |

It's not retro, it's not interesting it's.......a '99 Mondeo Si V6. No pic needed - looks like every other nouveau red Mk2 hatch  Happened to turn up when I was getting fed up with watching my Sapph dissolve (from the roof down ) at the right price. I'm kinda getting attached to it, probably cos it has no spoilers, so looks like a povo 1.6 but can shift rather well and the V6 sounds good when you wind it up ;D Have recently been having thoughts on a W123 wagon and I fancy an XJ6 or before petrol hits 2 quid a litre. Depends what turns up, I'm in no hurry  |

Mechanic's rule #1... If the car works, anything left on the floor after you finished wasn't needed in the first place |

Weeny pic of the entire Damaged fleet (well all apart from the latest, which I can't bring home until The Scrote is gone).  L-R: Scrote (my daily), Mrs.Damaged's newly purchased 06-plated Fezza Zetec Climate (much nicer than her old one) and The Oxford (soon to be locked away in my garage until I can afford to do all the work it now needs........which may be about 2013!!!) |
