Reliable, practical and nice to drive.
What I really want is an Alfa Romeo Spider, the older model.

Currently restoring one of these VW Karmann Ghia Coupe 1968 going to finish it with the same wheels and colour scheme as the one in the picture.
Just need to get the engine running first |

I used to have a 1965 VW Karmann Ghia convertible (cabriolet). I've got a photo of it around here somewhere, have to dig it out and take a drive down memory lane..

I ride on the back of one of these, Although he has made some adjustments to increase the air intake and stuff. It doesn't look like much, but it's fun when it takes off. I don't think that I should be on it though, I have a really strange urge just to jump off and have started standing up- which really freaks him out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCF3I...eature=related

Toying with the idea of ordering an Aston Martin Vantage - just the V8 Sportshift mind you. I think the new V12 would secure the Marching Orders.... |

I love the Karmann Ghia too.
My last car in the US was an Audi TT. Excellent car. But here, we are a one-car family, and other than the dog, only midgets and children fit in the back of the TT. So we got an Alfa 159 Wagon here.
Another excellent car - but no freakin hundeboxes fit in the back. So the dog has a seatbelt on the back seat, and we're getting a hundebox made to fit in the car.

I drive 2002 2.0lt 3.18i with 80,000 km on the clock.
My first BMW and it has made me a fan of BMWs.
Two weeks ago I test-drove an 2008 twin turbo diesel X5 (286bhp), it was awesome. It felt like a Golf GTI to drive but it weighs 2 tonnes! Roomy and high quality. BMW have so much engineering prowess that they are raising the bars all the time.
Five minutes after that X5, I was test-driving a 2007 Range Rover TDV8. RR's steering was a too soft for a vehicle that size. So soft that you could lose control unless you're paying a lot of attention. And engine noise was like a tractor's, compared to X5's.
I now want to test-drive an Audi S5. Anyone to let me drive his/her's?

| | Re: What kind of car do you drive? | Quote: | |  | | | doesn't the RR use the BMW engine? certainly used to anyway | | | | | Yes it used to, and it was using an older version of the current X5's 3.0 diesel. And then they decided to build this V8 diesel by themselves but they need to work more on that engine. With %16 less capacity BMW is extracting more power than RR's TDV8. And BMW engine feels as if there is no drawback: No turbo lag. Just constant delivery of pulling power.
Everyone should buy a BMW. (Mind you, I may change my mind because I haven't yet driven Rolls Royce, Merc S Class, Audi R8-A8-A6-A5, any Porsche, any Ferrari)
