Show me your car, baby!

[evilshell]

Fine German automobiles, (BMW/MERCEDES BENZ/AUDI/PORSCHE/Volkswagon, we own a Passat) built by..........

Actually, I almost prefer the Japanese cars. German manufacturers seem to have developed a quality problem.

Wish I'd known that BEFORE I bought my VW. Nothing but problems, problems, problems. Although, in my case anyway, they have always accepted the blame and done all reapirs at no cost to me but I'm out of warranty now so I'm kinda scared.

This sounds so familiar Metal Maiden !
I had a VW Sharan a few years ago... This car has cost me a fortune !
Drive a Ford Focus now ! Not one single problem so far !!

 :D

*sob*

We just bought a VW Polo last week :-/

We nearly bought a Fiesta, but thought the Polo was a better car.

I still miss my BMW that I had in the States  :cry2:

Hehe, sorry Christopher for possibly abducting your wife  

Ah, there they are. As I said before, those were the lumpy 15" rims with 225 summer tyres. Won't get those balloons on there again, next tyres will be Dunlop Sport Maxx 3.  :twisted:

Never mind 8)  while I do like the muscle cars, as I know how to work on them, my alltime favorite sports car would be a Lotus Espirit, now if I could only fit in it!!!!!

And a BMW grocery getter............

I have  got an old Fiat Panda 1000 with very bad acceleration. It's my first car and better a car than none so I think  

[shadowman]

Good point there Avricha !
I 've had a few cars by now. Now let me think...

When I was 18 I learned to drive in Citroen Visa.
Then my father bought me a Peugeot 205, followed a few years later by a Honda civic.
Then I got married.. (ok evil brains, before anyone says it, gonna say it myself : I know this is NOT a car ! 8) )

First car we bought was a Nissan Sunny. After a few years we bought a Toyota Corolla : Worst car EVER !! Had to sell it again for scratch after only one year !!
Then we bought a Nissan Primera ! That was a damn fine car !
Then we bought a Volkswagen Sharan. Drove that for two years as well..
Then we bought a Chrysler Voyager, fine car as well but we had really bad luck with it !
In one year we had two broken euh... can' t find the excact English word for it... in Dutch we say : Join de culas !  (nothing to do with ass whatsoever...)

After that one we bought the car we still drive today : A Ford Focus !
If you ask me, the best  car of the whole bunch...

Now before you ask me if I am the son of a billionaire : all cars were second hands !
I'd like to change now and then as you can see...

 :wink:

Amazing. We're having our second Corolla. The first one was second hand also, bought when it was 4 years or so and we hat it for 10 (!) years - no technical difficulties. And the "new" one was bought when it was 2 years old and we have it for 6 years now - no problems either.
If Toyota hadn't become so expensive, I'd definitely have one of my own.

Well there you go..; Guess it all depends on luck really... :roll:

[Metalmaiden]

... but they are with the old summer rims - the ones with the winter tyres on now are much better (and summer will hopefully see a full set of new 18" / 235 ones, hehe).

Do they look like theses??

[Odin]

Not exactly... these are larger than 18", I think, and those round holes look childish.

Ok not that this is any of your business but this is a romantic poem I wrote just this afternoon. But please Virvatuli, excuse me for any possible mistakes, my finnish is not yet all that good !

I have a -66 Beetle rod for the sunny days. Most of you has seen this pic before, but I put it out once more anyway.


And for my "non metal" appearance, I drive a -01 Volvo V40 (no need for a pic).

[Virvatuli]

Oh my... I usually don'l mind about cars, but dude, that's awesome! Way to go K

[shadowman]

Indeed Karl ! Wonderful how your car has turned out. If I remember well the previous pics you posted showed a half finished car right ?
In any case : job well done ! Now only pray for a good Swedish summer in 2005 so you can show off at the sandy (?) beaches with Infernal Vengeance music at volume 9...

 :banger2:

[Avricha]

Yeah, I have alreeady seen the pics, but the Beetle is still amazing. Totally cool.

[This Dying Soul]

It came in the mail, and my mommy helped me decorate it. We put stickers on it. It's so cool to drive to campus in!
