That Fairlane is a beauty, they all are in their own way.

The Fairlane was definitely the most elegant, but the trucks just have this utilitarian / Mayberry aesthetic that I like.

Re: So what are you driving these days?
I'm driving a 2l ford mondeo zetec. Quite boring I know but it gets me from a to b quite quickly and hasn't broken down yet. In my spare time I've taken up skateboarding again. Funnily enough I prefer my skateboard to my car, but the car's more practical as I can't fit my dog on the back of the skateboard.

MB E350 cabriolet.
Beautifully built, silky smooth, effortless to drive and hence as boring as fuck.
Nice driving thorough the Cheshire countryside with the top down though

Re: So what are you driving these days?
I've just been reading about some changes in the UK regarding classic cars.
"From November 2012, if you own a classic car made before 1960, it looks as if you will no longer have to bother to put it through an MOT test.
Yes, the UK government is scrapping the MOT for these golden oldies because, it says, "owners of classic cars and motorbikes tend to be enthusiasts who maintain their vehicles well." It also cites the lower accident rates and higher MOT pass rates for pre-1960 cars, and says that owners will still be able to take their pre-1960 cars to an MOT tester on a voluntary basis"

Re: So what are you driving these days?
Very nice Woofboxer, those old Saabs certainly do have a nice shape to them. My friend's parents have had a few Saabs over the years, it's a shame they went bust. I suppose there is always Volvo, the new S90 estate looks like a nice alternative to a German maker. I also think larger cars look better as an estate rather than a saloon, even the insane performance versions.
I'm way too boring, I've just sold a 6 year old 1.2 Ford Fiesta and bought a nearly 2 year old 1.2 VW Polo. Not as fun to drive but cheaper to run even if the engines are the same size.

Re: So what are you driving these days?
I like it, Woof. Always liked the older Saabs. Considering their demise, will that make it harder to source parts and repair? Is there a strong aftermarket support for them?

Re: So what are you driving these days?
2001 Subaru Forester, five-speed. The Subaru has become what the Volvo was to American drivers in the late 1970s-early 1980s -- safe and durable. And boring.
Also very popular with lesbians. I have no idea what this means.
Unfortunately, Subarus are getting all gussied up. I can see the day when the company no longer offers a manual transmission (it's already getting hard to find them used).
This is what killed Volvo.

Woof do you frequent the Saab forums?
