But I think FuzzyDuck does have the most enviromental friendly car here on the forum(I think), and second is my car (because it is the best car ever
)

Move over Hot Rod Lincoln!
Love the scoop! Does it provide your A/C as well? Surely the egine can't need that much (or can use that much) air!

Actually, this was just for fun. It really is a scoop for a dragster that we did the graphics for at work, and I thought I'd have some fun with it before we put it in its rightful place.
(GEO Tracker) That's one serious bird catcher on your hood Big Red! Love it!
lol that is a bad a ss tracker
1989 Honda CRX, this is my commuter car. Work is 45 miles away (90 miles a day commute) so I'm thankful for the 40mpg that this little guy gets consistenly.

What is the price for a complete fill up? 120$?
In Europe you have to pay 150 to 240€, these are arround 225 to 360$...
This is my small and 16 years old car ...
( 75 HP, 1/4 mile in 18 seconds ) one fillup is arround 60 € or 90$ and it is good for aprox. 600 kilometers or 380 miles.
peter.griffin - 2008-06-09 13:45
wow, I heard about prices in europe. 2 dollars a litre or something like that. I wouldn't have bought this if it was that high. I bought it last year, when gas was .99 a litre now it's $1.34cdn. So about 120cdn to fillup
If I was in Europe, I would be driving what Fuzzyduck drives
Here I did see one liter for €1.73,9 today
That is $2.45!!
We're still slowly flogging to death the same two cars.
My V6 Mondeo estate, a bit like this one, but blue:
Over 260,000miles on the clock & still regularly embarassing the diesel rep-mobile brigade in thier Audis & VWs (childish, but immense fun).
It's got to fall apart soon, surely
My wife's bus, the er, unique looking Multipla:
I guess she doen't choose on looks eh? ...well, she married me
Staggeringly reliable (for a Fiat), comfortably transporting 6 @ 40+ MPG. Mind you, diesel is now over £1.30 a litre here - £78 to fill it up yesterday (over US$150).
Fuzzy, your car is a very sensible choice, considering the fuel prices right now.
I'm paying around £300 a month for petrol & diesel now...

No apology needed - looks only it's mother could love for sure. When newly launched in the UK, they had a sticker in the back window saying "Wait until you see the front".
There is, however, method in our madness. This visually challenged motor is the only car available in the UK with 2 rows of three separate, full-sized seats (Honda FR-V owners behave yourselves, no adults in the centre seats for you & you know it). Unlike so many MPV owners in the UK, we actually need the 6 seats, because have 4 kids (yeah, I know, "four?" What can I say, I'm easy!
).
Only 2 rows mean no kiddies sat way back in the 3rd row getting up to all sorts of mischief, whilst sat 2 inches from the rear window, right in the vehicle's rear crumple zone (EuroNCAP does not score rear impact safety). 2 rows also means a decent sized boot/trunk.
It's as tall as a Land Rover Discovery & those massive windows mean the kids can see like they're in a tour bus. The 3 seats in the back come right out, converting it into a transit van in terms of space.
All this & our diesel version does 40+ mpg & believe it or not, it's fun to drive. I didn't believe this either until we tried one - must be the Italian in it.
It is without doubt the most practial & versatile MPV I've ever used & by God I've tried a fair few.
...if you can live with those looks
....wow autoreverser,a great collection.
so you`re the only one along with me to drive vehicles older than 35 years.
Great-you`re aq classic car fanatic as well!
The Admiral is awesome
A friend of mine ownes a similar fulvia.
The daihatsu and the 406 are rare meanwhile as well.(I know nearly every screw fom this engine)...

Our Grand Caravan seats seven full sized adults and their luggage. The second row captains seats and third row bench (split) fold into the floor and when they're up you can store stuff below the floor or use the space for a cooler, etc. plus you still have the abundant trunk space!

well, jens, the 406 got a major engine-damage last year on the way back from the south-side-festival near the "Bodensee" (Mogwai, Porcupine Tree, Q.U.T.S.A, PearlJam etc...), it is an ex-postoffice-vehicle, 4-gear version, now got a broken piston - do you know by chance anybody with an engine, prefably from a 407 with 5 gear-engine for me ? don't wanna fit the 3,8 litre cube (80hp) and loose my historic number-plate... if you got any ideas, please pm me, would thank you afterwards with a beer in the camper !!!

Looks big, for sure.
Can't get them in the UK, however, & I'll bet 45mpg is not very likely
That said, our next MPV is likely to be bigger (new Ford Galaxy, Renault Grand Espace, etc.).

Our Grand Caravan is 206" Long. Shes's big alright. But not bad for highway use. Around 30mpg if you don't stomp on it and mind your manners. We have five kids (My three plus my neice and her son, and one dog.) so six seats aren't enough. Next thing you know we'll need a tour bus!

Hey Cris, looks like you're really taken care of that Peugeot...
btw, how much do you charge for directions to Wakehurst Place from your house?
I tell you, that old peugeot is great, sure she's a bit beat up now but it's costing us less than the Passat. It's now been relegated to DIY & dump-run duties.
Just sold my 03' Evo VIII on Friday morning and picked up a 06' Evo IX MR SE on friday night

Must be a good feeling driving those 3 diamonds on the hood through the city
Nice Ride bro. Looks like a real corner carver
Here's my autocrosser a 95 Eagle Talon Tsi FWD turbo, it was my daily ride but had to get a more mundane car. You know four wheels four doors and a steering wheel boring(aka. cheby lumina).
Also a DSM, love that evo man!
Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics.
This is hiding under the hood along with many other improvments. Big T28/16G hybrid.
