Well as I'm a classic car lover & have owned most of the obligatory ones (Beetle, Mini etc), and although I'm a salon owner I still have a 2CV, Fiat 500 & VW camper! My dream salon owner car would be either a Morgan or a Citroen DS.

when i was in Texas i was trying to describe my car to them (toyota aygo)...was saying not as small as a smart car but nearly!! Smallest car i saw apart from a smart car was a ford focus lookalike lol

Nope it's a proper old Fiat500 - the "luxury" version with vinyl trim & carpets, not to mention the rather dangerous 'cruise control' function, i.e. a lever that holds the accelerator down so you relax your foot! Bought it 13 years ago, got it in good working condition and took it off the road a couple of years ago to restore it, courtesy of my partner who is handy with a welder!

I was going to tell you what i did her for sweet but she shouting for a coffee:irked: must rush lol

Hi I did have the S Type Jag but felt it was to old for me but hubby loved it, it was a dream to drive tho, now I have a Mitsubishi shogun Diamond and now miss the Jag as it is no where near as good, so next year maybe a new Jag

 

[Movida]

I have a bmw 3 series in white. absolutely love it, only 3 doors though so bit of a mare getting the mobile beauty bed in.

 

[nixnewcastle]

I have an old V reg megane coupe. The road tax on it as an absolute joke! I pay £115 for 6 months but unfortunately cant afford to buy another car. Loads of people have said to put it in as part ex on the scrappage scheme but i cant afford to buy a brand new car and the prices of new cars now have gone totally stupid. I dont recall a fiesta ever being like 11 grand!

Just haven't found a car that ticks all the boxes. It has to have:
a big enough boot to fit my mobile stuff in
low tax group
fast
sporty looking
not too bad on fuel
and not too expensive

until then im stuck with my megane coupe

 

[del3]

Mine is now a brand new Ford KA :green:

 

[Elaine143a]

i have an old (s reg) megane cabiolet - but not yellow lol! I've had it from brand new but its still not done 50k miles yet so might keep it until it becomes "classic"!.

I always wanted a convertible, and when i had one reclinded the roof at any occasion - even in jan / feb if weather ok. But after having one for such a long time haven't put roof down for couple of years!

Gonna keep car for bit longer coz cant afford another one and nothing wrong with it - except massive road tax!

 

[lilylou21]

I have a peugeot 307 convertible in silver and love it but everyone says its a typical hairdressers car (i don't care lol). The boot is massive when I dont want the roof down. My couch goes in and everything else I need in one day. It was either that or an estate. I do love it
