I drive a Rover 25. Small, good-looking (well, I like it) and with a pretty powerful engine.

I don't own any car. And I don't have a driving license... Laughing

And I don't need it either. I usually go by tram or bus and that's fine with me...

That's quite good, but what about the immense freedom you feel when you drive your car along a road running from horizon to horizon, under a glorious deep blue sky, with the sun blazing right over you, snow-topped mountains all around, and playing some good music really LOUD? ... erm... yes, I just LOVE to drive Laughing

I can do all that in a bus and I don't even have to concentrate on driving!
I can read magazines, I can play on gameboy, I can even SLEEP! And I'm doing the environment a big favor. And it is cheaper. Smile Laughing

I just got my drivers license, and I don't have a car... I tried driving by myself a couple of times but I'm a terrible driver.

A Honda Accord 2.0i. My brother tells me that it is a bit of 'old man' car but I like it as I got a good deal when I bought it, its got lots of power and a cavernous boot which I can easily throw all my camping gear into.

I love the GPS/Route Finder system and it has a great sound system for blasting out those Back In Time CD's. :D

Snap! Though not for much longer. Last month it was nearly an MOT write off so I'll be selling it this summer... Idea ...anyone want to buy a pearl white, low mileage, good as new Fiesta? It'll be the drive of your life honest guv Wink

Somehow I don't think I'd make it as a car salesman...

As I mentioned earlier I haven't got a car but the only cars that I have driven were a VW Golf and, get ready for a laugh, a Yugo :oops: (my girlfriend has one) and a Lada - drives like a tank.

Please don't be harsh on me.

Oh yeah and a 1974 Holden Kingswood when I was only a kid back in Oz. I remember the saying "Old Holdens don't die, they just get faster." Smile

I drive a 1990 vintage Nissan Sunny, big boot for all my junk I collect at boot fairs and only cost £200.

In England there is not much point having anything quicker as the traffic is alway snarled up and you need something small to park if you live in a big town like myself ,plus cars rust and degrade so most of my money gets put into upgrading computers or my house Razz

Now that's something I could never do on a bus. I mean, I was a die-hard bus user for several years (I only got my car a couple of years ago), but for some reason I wasn't able to read on it. I always get motion sickness when I try to read anything on a bus! I start to feel awfully dizzy the very moment I open a book or a mag! After 7 years using the bus, I started to hate it. Too boring Sad
