im curious as to what Cars people drive on this forum..for example, if C&D drove a Daewoo Matiz, i could build a mental picture of the person he is(if its not obvious from his posts...)

ill start the ball rolling..

i drive a 2002 Merc A Class Diesel. (even though i have no kids, and im only in my 20s..)

My dad used to have a Xantia when I still lived at home. I hated that floating feeling you got from the hydrolastic? suspension.

I drive a Vectra company car. At least its due for a change soon! Also got a Focus Zetec which my girlfriend drives.

I've got a 53 reg Mercedes C Class Kompressor and a big black "New Shape" LWB Toyota landcruiser (8 Seater) which the missus usually drives the kids about in.

MMF, it's an aquired taste.
When I first drove it, I thought I was gonna be sick, like being on a boat. Usually this indicates that the spheres are shot. New spheres and it smoothes out the bumps like a magic carpet.
Now, when I get in other cars, it feels like there is no suspension and my fillings are falling out.

It's about transporting 3 young kids safely and in comfort with plenty of space in the boot.

Well, get a Renault Scenic - plenty of room, safer (five star safety in tests) and doesn't pump the same amount of cack out into tthe atmosphere that the rest of us have to breath.

(Sorry if that seems a bit short, but, like sj, I see no ned for anyone in this country to have one of those things unless they live in the middle of nowhere up a dirt track somewhere where they get a lot of snow every winter!).

Two ways to safer driving:

1. Buy a tank.
2. Look where you are going, indicate occasionally, and don't assume everyone else will just get out of your way.

One reason I wont buy a Scenic, Its a Renault. :roll:

Toyotas have supreme relaibility and the new d4d diesel is extremely efficiant.

Just bought a 54 plate Honda Civic. I've just downsized from a Toyota Avensis (now the kids are growing up I don't need a massive boot space fro pushchairs and travel cots etc.).

A large red, white and blue Travel West Midlands vehicle. I have to get 3 of them to the Bescot.

Only problem is I can never seem to find it parked where I left it.

Even if there is a lot of space, I can't imagine it's too safe or comfortable for them in the boot.

Who needs a car?
I prefer to use the worst and most unreliable public transport system this country has seen in many a year.
Mind you, when the twerp who supports it is on holiday in Egypt when we have a major world disaster, nothing surprises me.
Well accept the idiots that voted the twerp in, in the first place....
