    I don't. :(

    I plan to own a Ford Capri 1.6 ...

    But me dad owns a Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec, just to add continuity to the topic.

    A teeny tiny SORN Fiat Cinquecento. It's really not worth it, as I haven't passed my test and don't want to drive a little tin postman pat van about anyway. It's a pathetic attempt at a car, it doesn't even have a 1 litre engine!

    Seat Arosa; hardly drive anymore really, but it gets me from A to B when necessary so it does its job and I do quite like it :thumb:

    Thats what I drive too. :yes: Bunge cord and all :p
    The hood is crunched and doesn't match the rest of the car in color. Wheels the size of a lawnmower's, when I bought a battery last, I'm pretty sure the lawn mower battery was bigger. Fully manual... Manual locks (except for the back left door, that one just doesn't open at all) manual windows, manual seat adjuster, manual mirrors. I'm pretty sure if I lifted up the floor mat and looked down, it would be Fred Flintstone stylee too.

    The driver's side window only comes back up again if someone is pulling it up with their hands, whilst someone else winds the handle furiously.

    Still, I did find 5p under the seat so it's not all bad.

    ETA: I don't have a car :grump: I passed my test nearly a year ago, and was insured on my mum's car. Then I went to uni, she got a new car and obviously I wasn't on the insurance. She wouldn't put me back on when I came back. :( I'm gonna try and sweet talk her into insuring it for me if/when her and my dad go on holiday, not least so I don't have to walk to work at 5am. :|

    Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 12v.

    Not a bad car - cheap to run and insure, reliable, brilliant fun to drive and beats catching the bus by 200 country miles. While it has a reputation for being a bit of a scally car, the people who call them that generally do so from the pavement and dream about how brilliant their car is going to be when they eventually pass :p

    My Alfa is similar to this but in black, and with a massive prang in the bonnet and right wing.

    I want one of these for my next project... I'm still saving.

    I don't drive, but I think I want a Corsa when I do. My brother has a 53 reg Corsa in black and it's gorgeous. I make him drive me everywhere. :D

    I don't know much about models and brands of cars. If I could I'd drive a solar-powered one or electric.

    You don't park that thing.

    You just sortof pelt through town at 200mph... and by the time you've stopped with the brakes on it (Bear in mind it is 1969)... you've gone WAY through town.

    I saw one park up in Tesco after a Rod n Custom show. It took up one and a half spaces.

    This is what I currently drive once a week. Would be much cooler without the learner signs all over it.

    This is the car that my step-dad won't let me drive until I've passed my test, and probably not even then.

    This is what I'd buy if I had a bit of money.

    Oh I saw an old school maroon hotrod, fancy as hell on the way to work today. I was gonna take a picture for you but it was some old bastard driving like 20mph and I got pissed off and went around before I got the chance
