[glow=white,2,300]A question that's been itching to get out, what cars do you guys drive? What are the specifications etc? .....and if you don't drive what would be your dream car?[/glow] I'll start of with my Smart Roadster, it's a convertible coupe and it's stunning. I bought it for £11,700 (aprx). It's got: - 80bhp petrol engine - abs, esp & hill start assist - driver & passenger air bags - black tridion - "spinline" alloys - electric folding soft top - cruise control and GPRS Sattelite Navigation. - RDS radio/CD player + I grabbed a set of optional heated leather sports seats and 19" alloys (I'm a racer you could say).
Here's some pics of the model (I managed to find pics that match my own car's colours):

Awww...it's cute!!! I've always liked Smart Cars, at least, those which aren't too squashed.
Mine is quite simple. My legs. I'm too young to drive.

I drive a Mazda 323 Protege from about 1997 with the shades decal. Here's a pic (of a car that looks like mine, almost the same colour too):

Cool, we have an assortment of completely different cars here, Lianne is yours a 4x4? I like the Datsun...it's a typical American, they don't make 'em like that here anymore . Ko....just out of interest, how reliable are Mazda cars?

and it isn't 4X4 its a mini put put truck too
I used to drive a mazda van, it had its problems with the brake lines freezing in the winter, but it was old eh, so i would say it was a very reliable vehicle!
it looked something like this, ithink this one is older

I've got a pink 97 Jetta. It's a good car and it's been through a lot, including falling into car sized holes. I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off (or by some amazing luck I win a new one on a game show or something). www.spectralauto.ca/jetta.jpg...So like that but pink.

Ko....just out of interest, how reliable are Mazda cars? Mazdas are pretty good. I get mine serviced regularly (like every year or so when they send me the letters) and I've never had a problem with it. The only time I've had to call a tow truck was when I got a flat tyre right in the middle lane of a freeway - obviously I couldn't change it there so I had to get towed to a nearby servo and do it then. But my car's pretty good. It has surprisingly zippy acceleration... great for beating people at the lights.

So, this is my dream car. I don't drive yet because my grandfather doesn't want to pay my classes. Funny because he volunteered to do it one year ago.
I know it's weird and I know the colour's funny, but I love it so much exactly because of its weirdness:
I also like the red and orange ones (specially if they're convertible - like the new Street Ka's):
And I can't find a pic of an orange one. But the yellow one is definitely my favourite. It's a Ford Ka, I don't know which edition (though I should because my father sells Fords), I just know that there's only two of them available in the country (they don't make them yellow anymore), one of which in my town AND I know where the person lives Mwahaha.

Hehe, I'm remembering about this advert for a Ford Ka I have on the computer. It's short but it's cool. Actually, I've just checked, it's for a FordSportKa(man they confuse me when they change the name slightly because it's a newer model). I can send it to you if you want.
