i have regestered as an alternative fuel user and its totally legal even though it stinks like frying fish, my dream car would be a lotus cortina mk2 circa 1970 or maybe a mk3 cortina like the one in life on mars, i prefer something none conventional however i do like dawns 320 ci sports its very fast and handles great

The older ones are always the best...less technology!! I used to go off roading about 10 years ago used to love it. As for running on chip oil lol yep been there done that with my old golf gt tdi! Very efficient but could defo smell the chippie smell! But hey it smells better than diesel!
My fella at the minute is on with restoring an ford escort rs turbo mark something lol series something! I actually can't remember the exact spec lol but he swears by them! His previous car was a BMW m3 which was vvvvvv nice however he's very old school and now making his dream of owning a fully restored turbo come true.

Thinking about the cars i have owned my absolute favourite must of been my Vauxhall tigra in bright yellow. Suited the job very well! x

Well my car is a Smart Cabrio and I love it LOL. Here in Spain you can have loads of scrapes, from other people hitting you as they drive out

and not leaving any details, but the Smart is fab, as it is polycarbonate, no dents (well only a cracked grill from where I had an accident lol)oops. Cheap to run, fits everything in you could imagine, apart from a 3rd person lol. However I would love a Smart Roadster but they don't make them any more

. Also people always stare at a smart, so when I get my decals put on, hopefully they will also notice my business number lol.

Well as I'm a classic car lover & have owned most of the obligatory ones (Beetle, Mini etc), and although I'm a salon owner I still have a 2CV, Fiat 500 & VW camper! My dream salon owner car would be either a Morgan or a Citroen DS.

Nope it's a proper old Fiat500 - the "luxury" version with vinyl trim & carpets, not to mention the rather dangerous 'cruise control' function, i.e. a lever that holds the accelerator down so you relax your foot! Bought it 13 years ago, got it in good working condition and took it off the road a couple of years ago to restore it, courtesy of my partner who is handy with a welder!
