None, and very glad about that. |

I'm going to buy my first car only now - until last year my thoughts were exactly the same as Thomas's but I simply grown sick with trains and buses. |

I have a 3 year old Ford Fiesta and a 25 year old Toyota MR2 MK 2 for fun in the summer. |

It's better off without a car both for the environment and our health. Oh, it's not purely a matter of idealism - if they rode on water and produced sugar-frosted cornflakes I'd still dislike driving. I *really* hate driving, that's all. But I'm in the lucky position of living somewhere you don't need a car to get around. And if more people around here realized that they DON'T live miles away from nowhere and have public transport available pretty much everywhere, it'd be even easier to get around. |

Actually I looove driving! Open back roads, Queen on my mp3... For me, that is a natural high. Utter freedom. Old 2000 Toyota Celica hatchback. Manual transmission. |

My VW Golf Tdi from 1999 is still rocking after 302.000 kms.... yeah!! ;-) |

The UK keep pushing such p/transport based incentives while cramming people onto buses and trains into standing room only (commonplace) situations on filthy dirty carriages running late and overcharging for the privilege. added to this, we now get the anti-diesel lobbyists starting up. these same backhander-snatching thieves who actively encouraged diesel until six months ago. and the anti-diesel propaganda doesn't add up - think about it; so their are more "particulates" generated by diesel? but they are conveniently ignoring the fact that although the amount of "particulates" per cubic metre of air may be higher, it's significantly less once you equate that their are only 66% as many miles of air contaminated as petrol - due to actual fuel consumption. then to cap it all they encourage cycling but make drivers responsible for cyclists accidents, when cyclists show complete disdain and contempt for the highway code. well the UK and Boris Johnson can go fuck themselves. they're so corrupt, and i will not buy into their "bustopia". sorry, soapbox now removed. fwiw - currently driving very sensible Kia, after previous two "fun cars" a Ford Cougar 2.5L V6 with max pack, followed by an Alfa Romeo |

It's always weird to me to see references to a 'Ford Cougar'.......I always wanna correct whoever says it....."It's a Mercury, not a Ford!" lol |
| Chief Mouse 17.03.2015 13:26 |
Lovely car, Brenski! I love black cars :) Looks slick. |
| MercuryArts 17.03.2015 13:43 |
2012 Hyundai Tucson. Its a gas guzzler, I can't wait to unload it. |

Blue 2006 Ford Mondeo Ghia (Mk III), 2.0TDCi 130 diesel engine, manual transmission. Great car. But the engine is really noisy. :-) Does every QueenZoner ride a Ford? Edit: can't figure how to post a picture. Here's a link : link |
| mooghead 18.03.2015 07:59 |
According to webuyanycar.com the Cougar is worth 185 quid! |

Does every QueenZoner ride a Ford?I do not have a car, but my parents and brother all have Fords :D (possibly that's to be expected, tho, my father worked there 30+ years :D) |

After finally receiving the promotion I have worked my butt off for nearly a decade to get, I bought a car I really wanted and not one that was simply what I could afford. 2012 GMC Acadia. I am in love with my car. |
| Annette 25.03.2015 16:07 |
I have a two years old black Citroen C1. It is small, but I am also in love with my car. |
