What vehicle(s) do you drive on a regular basis?

[Scally-Ho]

This is me, old Scally being somewhat nosey. I am interested what other members drive on a regular basis and whether you own, lease or are buying it via a loan.

My leisure car is a two-seater RHD Crossfire SRT6 (blown by the AMG stable) and has been owned by me from new. It was originally bought as a company car who still run & maintain it on my behalf. My much-prized diesel load-lugger is a Nissan Pathfinder V9X (V6) and is the best workhorse I've owned for pulling a loaded vehicle trailer while keeping stable all the time.
Although driving the Crossfire is more fun, the Pathfinder is usually my daily vehicle for around town and its environs due to load carrying capacity for shopping and collections etc; also, it carries seven people which is another plus

For me it's a Peugeot Bipper van for carting stuff around (67 plate, 1.3 diesel, 60 MPG and the springs are hard as hell) a Toyota Yaris Cross hybrid (72 plate, 60 MPG) and 'er indoors has a Honda HRV 1.6 diesel (19 plate, 52 MPG - with wincing service costs).
Plus a classic Honda CB500S when it's play time (Can't handle 1200cc bikes any more!)

@Burnerman Thank you John and I must admit I do envy your MPG, although the hard springing is a different matter. I am fortunate as my servicing costs are zero to me but in realty the family run company foot the bills, so indirectly I am paying

Ok...well...

BMW i4 - company car and an EV. That's what does the bulk of my miles because it's a lovely drive and for a nearly three-and-a-half hundred horse car, dirt cheap to run.

1989 Alfa 164 V6 Lusso. My fourth one of those, and now quite a rare car. Alfa's would-be 5-Series challenger from the late 1980s / early 1990s. Petrol, ICE, 3 litres and about 200 horse. Bloody love that car!

2017 Skoda Kodiaq 7 seat, 2 litre, 150 horse diesel auto 4x4. Mr's Avocet's car. Quite a nice drive, and a very capable tow car. However, disappointingly troublesome in a few areas.

1990 Alfa 164 2.0 Twinspark. Not my car, but my youngest is a bit of a petrolhead. After passing his test in his big sister's hand-me-down Mazda 2, he decided he hated "modern" cars (this was a 2010 example!), and in the end, I got fed up with his whining and told him he could sell the Mazda and buy whatever "interesting" car he fancied, as long as he could insure it with what was left from the sale of the Mazda. A week or so later, it was "Daaaad.... do you know anyone with a car trailer...."? The jammy little sod managed to pick this up (non-runner, no tax or MOT), for peanuts but it's actually a really sound car. Only took us about 5 minutes to get it running and it's in better condition than my Alfa, in places! What's more, being the base model, it's so much lighter that it's actually pretty much as quick and turns-in better! (We just don't tell his mum that...)

2001 Landrover Freelander 2.0 diesel. An absolute howling dog of a car belonging to my dad, but refuses to die! A really lazy, "comfy slippers" undemanding drive, and much better build quality than I'd been led to believe for a Landrover.

Im forever changing cars but at the moment its:

2024 Merc A200 on Merc finance and main family car.
2012 Audi A3 Tdi Quattro bought outright, my work hack.
2005 Honda S2000 bought outright, my toy.

You might already know this, but the Citroen Nemo and the Fiat Qubo are the same car. If you get the springs off a passenger-carrying version, they might be a bit softer?

Scrap of a Focus 1.6 2004.
I used to go around in an A6 Le Mans and then had to give her away because of the midget's tax
A3 2006 in decent conditions but used mainly by the boss.
Vespa PK50S 1983 in summer.
Days of fast bikes are over.
Various mountain bikes built by myself.

1990 Alfa 164 2.0 Twinspark

Very Nice!

1973 109, been in the family since new, recently rebuilt/fitted a 200 tdi lump and full restore under the bodywork. Perfect for tip runs, collecting materials and carting the dogs around.

Mountain bikes, you say??? Do tell more!

 

[Jurassicspark]

Well, I re-started riding around 2016 and the bike I bought from halfords was a bit crap.
So a friend heard me complaining and gave me a trek frame.
I built it, improved it and got fit on it.
Then I built many other bikes for friends and family and 4 more for myself.
I still have 2 and the boss said no more.
Building an aluminium Specialized for my godson atm
In younger years I was messing about with bikes and motorbikes all the time and the passion is still there.

I'd love that, I like vehicles you can chuck trees and crap in and no one cares
