What car do you drive?

Indeed. £160 a corner for mine and about 10K miles from them if I'm lucky :eek: and it's only a Focus :D

I get 8-10k from front and 20-25k from rears.. I pay £140 a corner... Then normally a bit more on top for alignment tweaks!!
 
I drive an old Range Rover (its N Reg). Great car and can get me out of any situation as I really don't care about it. Nothing gets in my way!!
:D:lol:

£126 a corner for me. I've only done around 10k on mine so far and they're not showing much wear to be honest.

Ah yes I'd forgotten about the 'Look at it the wrong way and they go out of alignment' costs for mine. :gag:

Unfortunately soft low profiles and quite a few horses through the front wheels does tend to mean short life for my tyres.

But it's worth it for the fun.:D

is it standard or modded
i have had a couple of them but they do need a remap to liven them up a bit
a little slow off the mark but very quick once up and running and can surprise some quick cars
 
Cant remember if I posted here or not. If I did... oh well.

Here is a pic from today.

Have seen that shot before but love the colour, you don't see many and it's my favourite on the pre facelift X-Trails.

I only took and posted it today! Maybe you saw it on flickr??

No it's a very unusual colour, has a few more scratches after today though!

Absolutely bog standard straight out of the box.

Yes it may take a little slow off the mark, but as I've never been (even when I was young enough to be a 'Boy racer' :D) and never will be a 'Screech away from lights/junction' person it doesn't bother me.
I'm much more concerned about other performance and it's more than adequate in that respect for me.
 
here's a pic of my mini cooper s that i got a couple of weeks ago to try and rekindle my love of cars
since getting it i have tinted the rear windows and just had a 17% reduced supercharger pulley and belt fitted
a modified dave f airbox iridium plugs and a modified exhaust system
should be around 210bhp now

Christ, how do you run that Disco? 5 mpg or something crazy?!
 
Haven't got a car of my own but i have access to my parents cars.

Renault Grand Scenic and a Mazda 6 Ts2

The mazda is so much nicer to drive!
 
Toyota Aygo. Lovely little thing to drive. Although it's tiny, I always feel like I'm driving a 4x4 / stretch limo inside it.
 
Kia Sorrento. Only a 4 cylinder and not four wheel drive but it doe's get me into some of the out of the way places. And I can sleep in the back :)

I have a fiat Panda.

I dont care if everyone laughs at me.

He is a happy little chap and we laugh at everyone else trying to impress each other while we cruise along happier and cheaper...

Want a second one? 6 yrs old, one owner, only done about 3200 miles. (no I haven't missed off any 0's) I know someone who has one for sale.
I was suprised how small the boot was. My sports bag holds more.:lol:
 
Anyone on here got a Smart car talking of cheeky little cars.

I'm thinking of one as a second car for tootling about in :)

I couldnt I'm afraid. Percy gets quite protective and I dont think he would respond well to another Panda in the family ;)

I had a 1.3 GL on a V plate back in the 80's. Stuck a K&N pancake air filter on it, amazing roar as the second venturi opened up.:thumbs:
Only had it for a couple of years, and intended to do it up a bit, but a van driver decided he wanted a closer look of my nearside A pillar and wrote it off.:'(

I have one just hit my forecourt, condition wise it's in good nick but god they are horrible and I would feel safer sitting in the middle of the M25 naked than driving it.
