Re: What do you drive?
 

My two feet when I can mange to put one in front of the other without tripping up over myself.

Assistance of public transport used quite often as well.

Also, so as not to break the tradition of everything nowadays offending somebody. I feel it my duty to be offended by this thread as it's against my rights as I don't drive:D:D;)

2008 Focus ST - stock

2000 DC2 Integra Type R - Jackson Racing supercharger, J's ECU, Spoon racing cam & valve springs, Mugen twinloop exhaust system among other stuff

Re: What do you drive?
 

What are your mpg on both of those out of interest?

Re: What do you drive?
 

59 Focus Titanium but I'm still working on John to let me buy a 300SL Gullwing. :D

Re: What do you drive?
 

Erm, approximately LOL MPG ;)


Focus does about 20 around town with 99 octane and 25-30 on a motorway run

The Integra, about 20 on country roads and on track I've never even bothered working it out. Around town you just get idiots in Corsas and Clios trying to race you so seeing as it's not my daily driver I steer well clear so not sure what the urban cycle would be. Before the mods I seem to remember it being around 28 urban and 35 on the odd occasion I ventured onto the motorway in it.

One week old Mazda 6 Diesel Est :) Lovely car. Wife has a Zafira which is horrible to drive and has abysmal economy.

Re: What do you drive?
 

Most of my driving is motorways and country roads so i haven't yet had chance to find my economy on city driving, but im well please with 30.7 as i was expecting around 27mpg which would add another £25 a month to my fuel bill.

60 Ford Ka Titanium

Basically a Fiat 500 with Ford modded suspension & a new body.

47 mpg around town...

Re: What do you drive?
 

That's very good actually for the nutty amount of power the VXR has. The ST is a bit nose heavy tbh with the 5 cyl Duratec and overall the car is a wee bit heavier (about 40kg I think) than the Astra so that's reflected partly in the poorer fuel economy.

The only thing I've found with the modern hot hatches I've driven is that the gearboxes tend to lend themselves towards economical driving which is what you've no doubt found with being able to squeeze 30mpg but when you're really giving it some beans on a track day it can be a little bit unfulfilling.

Re: What do you drive?
 

I drive a '98 Pug 306 TD, super fuel economy & as its a box with a wheel on each corner I use it for work, tip runs when gardening & up n down the motorway when I go visit my kids and other bits n bobs when needed.
My wife\we also drive a 57 Fiesta 1.4 durashift with 5k on the clock (only picked it up wed) Which replaced a failing Fiat Punto 1.2 elx speedgear (crap car dont buy one)

Re: What do you drive?
 

Currently drive a 2001 Renault Clio 1.2 Petrol In blue. It has a leaky roof, a haunted rear window wiper, a phantom fog light indicator, it permanently thinks the drivers door is open and the drive shafts knock on corners..... EDIT: And the High level brake light is faulty.

Hoping to upgrade to a 2004 Xsara Picasso 2.0 Diesel sometime soon, any takers on the clio? :D

Re: What do you drive?
 

Would it be cruel to suggest one of Arthur's kids coming to buy it soon???

Re: What do you drive?
 

Check your aerial seal for the leak, common problem ;)

Re: What do you drive?
 

Thats on the older ones apparently. We actually know where the leak is in mine, its coming from the sunroof and the front corner of the passenger side of the windscreen. Just dont have the time to do it and wont pay a garrage £200+ to do a job that will take me and a friend 2hrs at the most +£15 worth of materials. Its all taped up at the moment, looks horrible but at least its dry :D

Cruel for them maybe, but it would have also been cruel for me if you hadn't ;)

Re: What do you drive?
 

Ah yes, the sunroof drains which don't drain :D

Sell it, and don't buy French again ;)
