Ellafella Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Will Hughes: left hand drive Mercedes SLK 2.6 Kompressor with hard-top. Silver with black leather trim. 0-60 in 7.8 seconds; very responsive and agile. Quick and deft with great stickability. Nice alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't do all that much of what you want in a car (as it's a motorbike) but it does accelerate in a strait line very very fast. Has a slightly weird cult following. Baird - Honda Civic. Much derided, but very capable and reliable. Nick Blackman - Shelby Cobra Kit car project (unfinished - all parts present) You're not really sure that there hasn't been some kind of mix-up at the factory and they've got some of the rod-ends mixed up from a VW Polo - the parts fit but they don't quite steer the thing right.

This my winner for the day .... And the drivers window is down, a fag on and there's one of those report me if I'm driving badly stickers on the back ... But you just wouldn't would you.

EnigmaRam Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Martinis like the first car you ever owned, you know the one, you gave it some stick, kicked it for breaking down(falling over) and didn't really appreciate it. Then some **** smashed into you and wrote it off. A while later you drive your new motor into Asda car park and you see your old car there, someone else has it and you kinda jealous. It was your first car, the best thing ever, yet you never really appreciated it and now it's gone for ever and your left with something not quite as good! anyway that's my story, some ******* yank smashed up my arse end on the M25. I loved my fiat uno turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Butterfield - Anything Japanese, with the ability to go sideways, all of the time Thorne - Alfa Romeo Spider - Likely to break down most of the time, but when it's in the mood, there's nothing better to drive Martin - Maybach - Big, cumbersome, but oozes class Bryson - VW Polo Blumotion - Just goes, and goes, and goes... Keogh - Lancia Beta, as it falls apart at the first sign of harsh conditions Ince - Jaguar F-Type Johnson - Challenger Tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then we've lost a few, gained a few and perceptions of players have changed. Lets go again! This time i'm starting with Chris Baird, definitely a ford focus. Once the go to car but overtaken by the newer cars these days. We went an bought a flash sports car thinking it would do the job, but in the end we went with the reliable ford focus again I'd have Bairdohimovic as an old Volvo estate.

WhiteHorseRam Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Can we please stop signing Alfa Romeos? Looks good on paper/in the showroom, but bits fall off driving around multi-story car parks. Oh, but we do love 'em ...... Would like to see a JCB or two in defence .... people who cast a shadow in the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Chris Martin is like some uber 4x4 ... In all honesty a bit brash and not very agile but used properly is hugely capable underneath the bling. Johnny Russell .. Escort Mexico. ( I know I am showing my age !) not very refined, yet Quick, simple, reliable and effective in a scrap. Alex Pearce .. One of those big pick up trucks with a large cab, awkward at times, but when you start using on a regular basis it can be very useful until you try and park it at the super market and the spaces are all a bit small.

RadioactiveWaste Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Alex Pearce - JCB 3CX ( the tractor based one) Jason Shackell - JCB 360 with a broken track. Olssonn - min digger (you needed to get some digging done but you're struggling because you need to dig a 3 meter deep trench) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Cyrus Christie - Dodge Charger, powerful runner, suspect handling, you just wish "precise" could be somewhere even remotely in the same sentence. Richard Keogh - Lotus Elise - nippy handling, good control, Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious. Gone head gasket a known fault. Hanson - Ford Focus hire car. Anya - Vauxhall Corsa VXR - Exciting when it was new out, but its an aging platform and faults are becoming apparent (you realize your old MK5 Golf was probably a better overall car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 This is very good for those of us who like motors. Now then .. what about Managers or owners as cars ? Clough Senior ... Defo a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.. Proud boastful, superior, not everyone's cup of tea but beautifully hand crafted Pearson ... something that had a dodgy re map that doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Mel Morris - The Candy Crusher Monster Truck! Fawaz - Kit Built replica of a Porsche 944 the turns out to have been based on Skoda Rapide mechanicals. Air con doesn't work. You can't stop laughing because you know the guy who brought it off eBay spent the first few weeks telling everyone he'd brought a real one.....then when he needed a part.....

Bent ... S class Merc that's been round the clock, clutch is slipping, hand brake doesn't work, steering is a bit vague but get it on the motorway and it still eats the miles. Butters .. A DS Citroen ... Interesting, but the jury is out as to whether it was a Friday car or if it just needs a decent mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Nigel Pearson....not a car...but a mechanic..... Who underfills the oil by about a liter. Takes 20% of pressure out of the tyres. Tightens the hand break cable so the rear pads always just slightly touch. Cleaned out the air filter by ranting at it. Test drove it at 5,800 rpm because he demands total commitment. When asked,says his car in Leicester was awesome that way. When you ask for customer services a wee twitch develops in his eye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
