What do think you will be driving in 2008?

[pringles 0]

I was thinking about this yesterday and it got me wondering.

 

In less than 2 years ive gone from a 1.1L '83 fiesta (running on 3 cylinders), to a Corrado VR6!

 

Where do i go from there?

 

Do you reckon you will still be driving a C in 5 years time, or will we all have R32's etc.....?

 

:?:

by 2008 i don't think i'll be driving a c, although this year alone i've had 2 corrado 16v and a crx v-tec, but by then i would like to be either driving a Aston AMV8 or a 911 but that is only if my plans for 2004 come off, but for now i'm very happy with my c vr6 she is great :D

I'd be happy with the corrado & maybe a porsche... :D

A battered old Mini cooper 's' track slut... leather interior and heated seats thrown away to be replaced with a cage.

well i have gone from peugeot 305 (boat) to crx mk2 to corrado vr6 in 3 and a half years. i'll probably keep the C for a few years and then buy a TDi as petrol will be so expensive by then.. maybe a slinky VW 'coupe type thing' TDi (there bound to make one!!)

that sounds like the best plan, as you say, the government are taxing us out of C's as an every day runner, and by 2008 you can only guess the running costs, parts etc will be rarer don't forget.

 

C for the weekends, and some sort of TDi for the week.

 

but this is 2008, so maybe a space shuttle too, although they must be the only form of transport on (and off) the planet that makes a C appear reliable and low maintance

I havnt got a C yet but when i do get one (asap) i probably wont live to see 2008 so it isnt a problem for me :) going from 60bhp to 130bhp. But if i do live till then im gunna invent a hover car and fly around :)

I went from 60-70 ( a 1.3 metro) to 190 (VR6), only one sideways moment so far, and that was purely because of grip rather than power, ! used to just throw the metro into corners, and the under steer would take me round, came to a roundabout, and tried the same in the C, and it went exactly were I aimed the wheels, and corner 90 degrees towards the curb. needless to say, i didn't do it again ;)

Impreza STI, Leon Cupra-R or S3/S4. Possibly a late Nissan 200SX.

A Porsche 911 or a Brabus Mercedes!! If things go well for me that is!!

Should be moving onto an Impreza WRX PPP early next year, so by 2008 I hope to be into the STi11 PPP league or even the future equivelent of the Spec C Limited. Unless I win the lottery, then I should have to make a list :D

I'll probably be driving a cheap beaten up MKIII Golf 1.6 while I'm rebuilding whatever my current nice car that I've just managed to blow up is, if my track record's anything to go by... :roll: :lol:

 

MKI 1.6 GTI -> MKI 1500 auto when the GTI got written off

MKI 1.8 GTI -> MKI 1500 auto when the 1.8 died and I decided to 16V it...

MKI 16V GTI -> MKI 1500 Auto regularly while I was at uni... :roll:

Corrado 16V -> MKI Golf 1500 Auto when I wrote the 16V off

MKII Golf GTI -> Astra 1.4 Merit when the Golf engine died... :pukeright:

Corrado G60 (J-DUB) -> MKII Golf 1.6 Driver when the G60 engine died... (which I'm still driving now! :roll: )

 

Not a great track record over the last 8 years... :roll: :lol:

 

Actually, now I think on, that MKI 1500 Auto was easily the most reliable car I've ever owned and cost me the least... £500 to buy it. About £500 in bits over 4 years and I sold it for £600! 8)

I'm gonna be driving this!!!!!

 

Its on Firebox.com for 324000 quid.

 

Sting me for road tax now will ya?!?!?!?

[stoph-16v 0]

Seriously though, I wreckon a BMW 850csi, or 911 - I'd like to stick to a classic!

 

My C is my second car, first being a 1.8 Clio RSi. Think that'd be a nice progression!

Surprised I'm the first to mention one. But don't you think that a lot of people from the VW scene will be driving Audi TT's?

 

Not sure if I'll have one, there’s to many about but there a nice car. All the people who are driving mk2 golf GTI's now are surely going to be driving Audi TT's in 10 to 15 years time. There seems to be enough of them to go round!

LOL, just sold my TT this week as i needed the cash, looking for a corrado at the moment :D

 

I reckon the TT will definetly be a modern classic in the future just like the corrado is now. :)

i've never felt i needed a stupid-expensive car to enjoy driving... by 2008 i hope to have a 250+ ft/Ib TDI in an a1 body for a run around.. and have the corrado all minty fresh and be driving it every (sunny) day! ..probably still drive a dirty beater in the winter so i can trash it without remorse! :lol:
