Our Cars (dream or actual)

[Brian]

@Graeme i personally wouldn’t go electric unless I had solar and a battery with a charge port at the house ( I rent also and can’t see that changing anytime soon ) I thought about a BYD when looking for a car for myself after we bought the main car for the wife since she uses a car more than I do
Almost a year in with the I20 and less than 5k on the clock should have saved my money really and not bothered but mid life crisis mode kicked in and couldn’t afford a Porsche

[Graeme]

@Brian it's a pain renting, and without a secure tenure, I wouldn't want to drop a couple of thousand on an EV charger for my landlord.

At least the I20N is a cheap midlife crisis, and a reasonably practical car.

I suspect that my car buying plans will depend on when my car breaks down, where I end up living, and just how much of a fuel crisis we have.

@Graeme agree with the renting we have been lucky really 12 years in once place and going on 4 in our current one but no way I’m forking out for solar etc in somewhere that we may not be in the future

Considering the current fuel prices, my dream car is…

I think Renault have done the modern retro thing quite well with those.

@NickD However, in terms of size and technology, it’s a significant improvement over my first car, a Renault 5 Campus built in 1991, which was quite recognizable.

@Oaktavia oh i bet that was made in Woodstock Ontario. Glad you love it.
in 2024 we were working 9 hour shifts on days and 10's on nights pumping them out

Not the most fuel efficient, but fun nonetheless.

You have to give it to the Italians. They have style:
