Default What shares your drive?

Having recently sold our "sensible" car (a Jaguar S-type) for my S2000 that leaves my wife's Mini Convertible as our "sensible" car!
Unless my Citroen 2CV counts.
So our drive is shared between the S2000, Mini Convertible and Citroen 2CV.

How about yours?

Out there at the mo is a.. hmm.. not so exciting..

BMW 525,
Saab 900 convertable
Mini Cooper
Civic Sport
Citreon C3
Clio

and my Stook..

Always good to have the fastest car in the drive

There are 5 flats in thr building, not all my cars.

Our other car is the C3 and oh boyo that is a weird car to drive. Feels like driving a HUGE sponge. Im going to have to get that thing valued and then traded in for something a little more responsive. My g/friend thinks it is an OK car but she is never going to "love" cars unless she gets the bug. What can we get that is fun and reliable for her for

Currently, Amanda has a low mileage P reg Mazda 323 as our sensible car, and I bomb around in an M reg Seat Ibiza 1.4. The Seat is almost definitely about to be replaced by a M reg Honda Accord Coupe, and I'll get Amanda something newer next year.

Citroen Berlingo

- have you ever tried to get a washing machine into the back of an S2K ?? - slightly different handling characteristics when we have the canoe strapped to the roof.

Our other motor is a 2003 Corsa 1.2, wait for it, SXi. Actually it's not a bad little car for what it is, with the a 16v engine that likes to be reved.

Okay, it's a hair dryer on wheels.
