Hubby got made redundant last year so we changed my Clio (which I cried the day she went! had been such a reliable car,but hubby was afraid that next MOT it wouldnt pass as things were starting to go wrong?!), and we got a Audi A3, have to confess with the dog in the back and also use it for transporting dogs for the rescue, I would much prefer my little clio back??..

Hubby also has a company car, but with jobs the way they are these days, if he loses his job again, his car goes too, so we have to get a "better" car, its a man thing I think, if I could have a choice I think I would like a Volvo estate, I could happily put the dogs in the back and not worry,already had a few scratches on the back, and a trolly dint (courtesy of a trolly in Tesco!) in bumper.!!!

Well, like many on  here, I have an astra estate (X-reg), my forth astra and I love them.  However, it is not really big enough to transport more than 3 flatcoats in the back (although we have had 5 in it, 3 in the back and 2 in the 'middle'.  I am looking into change it next year for either a citreon berlingo or a renault kangoo.  Yeah, yeah, I can hear you all laughing!!!  I have decided the practicality comes before image (not that I much on one in the astra!).  Does anyone else have one of either? If so how do you find it??

Nice one Kath!  :D

If you really want bodywork to catch the girls' eyes, BullBoy................get a bike :).
My ol' man has cycled a fast 14 miles a day for the last 20 odd years and despite his 47 years has the body of a 20 year old he also has the scalp of a 20 week old but hey :D  Gorgeous!!! and I'm a lucky girl 'cos not only does he love me he loves the planet I live on, what girl could resist that!!!

Thats the one Busydogs could never remember the name but loved the book!

Well said Spaniel Lover - me and other half have never been on holiday together because Dogs and horses come first.  I get so sick if the grief over our cars but if that is what we choose to spend our money on then so what!

I worked for it, I pay for it and I will damn well enjoy it!

Well, Mummy drives a Land Rover Discovery, courtesy of the Company Land Rover, Daddy, when he drives occasionally, tootles around in a Black Cab (London Taxi) My brother drives the latest Aston Martin, again, courtesy of Aston (owned by Ford) and me, well, because of dear brothers connection, they lend me a sad old Mondeo Estate, I like to keep it low key you know :D :D :D

In the real world, I still drive a Mondeo Estate, OH drives a BMW X5, useless for my dogs :D but we work our bones to the ground every month to pay for and keep my Mondeo on the road and I wouldn't have another car if it was given to me! ;) Oh, and daddy drives a Jaguar S type but has just ordered a SL 55 Mercedes AMG!

Just changed my fiesta for a 52 reg focus 1.6 ghia and i love it, wanted one for 3 years and now i have one :)

I drive an Audi A4, ive just got it and its ideal for the dogs and its damn quick too

My dad drives a brand new Skoda Octavia RS estate, he could afford a much more expensive car but he has no need to show his status with a flash car !!!!  Anyway his skoda beat an Mercedees off the lights the other day, i bet the owner of that car was devestated :D :D :D

i have a doggy van! i love it! oit was only £1500 & i love it love it. its a white renault extra. 1.9 diesil Treg....like a box on wheels. it has black doggy paw prints stick on type stuck all over it,so it looks like its got the measles
its one big cage in the back with tons of storage underneath,for trainning & camping stuff.

my dog mobile!

I have an old (K Reg) Rover 216 Cabriolet.  Got it just over six months ago and its my very first car as I only passed my test in May.

Its all bought and paid for with my own money and I agree with what the others have said - having a car given to you is nothing like the feeling of knowing that you did it yourself!!!  :-)

My first car was a Hillman Minx - mint-green and cream :D It was my sister's really, but she went abroad for a year and said that I could drive it as long as I paid all the expenses. It had a bench seat (the hand brake was on the right-hand side), no heater, no radio and it had cost her £25 :D I passed my test and drove it for another 6 months until she came home and demanded it back. She drove it for another year or two and then sold it for £25 :D I bought a Morris Minor Traveller - together with the green moss growing on the back window frames :D My own first car - I drove it for about 6 months until it was condemned as unsafe by the garage near my office and I had to travel the 20 miles home from work on the bus :( :( Happy Days :)

Daisy

Been through all that - my first was mark 1 Capri (2 tone metallic green and silver--yuk!)- full of holes and went to the scappy pretty soon. Then a Fiesta - same story. Then a Fiat 127 which I paid £90 for and had it three years!

Nowdays we've gone upmarket with an Astra Estate (the dog's car) and an MGF.

my other cars have been
1. reddish /orangeish metro 1litre. the perfect first car!
2. fiat tipo white 1.4. perfect 2nd car & good 1st motorway drive!
3. blue astra estate 1.4. good doggy car...till i crashed it
4. white sierra estate, 1.6.  emgerancy replacement for astra,cost £500 & i loved it. brill & reliable,then a post man crashed into it!
6. my lovely little van, 1.9D renault extra....the dog-mobile

I have had my little mini for 2 years now, bought it myself for £450 and it has NEVER let me down!!  We have 5 minis now mine which is an F reg (1988) all pink and cream a perfect girls car, 2 show cars which are a 1969 Cooper S replica, and my OHs souped up 1971 bad boy machine, we also have a pick up which is the latest project and a clubman estate which is a runabout.  Our "proper car" is a Creg Volkswagon Scirocco but give me a mini anyday!!  We take my mini camping 3 times a year, we have a little trailer and we manage to fit in me and OH a staffy a bulldog, a 6 man tent and ALL our stuff so yeah I think there is plenty of room!!  There is nothing like bombing around in an "old" mini throwing it around corners and waving at all the other drivers!!  (dont do the new minis though awful things, no offence for anyone the drives them just not our thing.)

WE LOVE MINIS!!!!!!!

My first car was a mini traveller complete with the woodwork on the outside LOLOLOLOL

I now have a very grown up(NOT)five door midnight blue black Impreza with a BC related Private Number Plate   !!!!

Fast yet safe & built in cages for the dogs

well i drive a 1yr old ford galaxy tdi and i hate it bt have to have it cos of the 4 kids!!! the day i had the scan to say i wasnt only expecting my third child but my fourth aswell i knew all my small cars were out of the window!!! max sits in the 7th seat now so no more kids!!! hubby drives a ka sport and i drive it as often as i can cos i just prefer small cars. max quite likes sitting in the leather front seat of the ka when we leave all the kids at home with daddy and the galaxy

I have a rancidly smelly Nissan Terrano II, but I like her :)
AND my friend's husband washed her on Saturday while we were at a show.
Her first wash in about 12 months LOL

I have a Skoda Fabia estate and its great, fits Ella and two friends easily (plus five humans at a pinch) -although we don't use it much, prefer walking!!

Dog car 12- year old Astra Estate, my car S reg Polo (so the boss doesn't get her immaculate Black clothes covered in dog hair!!) his car GTI Golf (14yrs old) plus Landrover -circa 1967 and an ancient Tractor AND we've got 3 wheelbarrows!!!!
A car is definately for life in our house.
My first car was a Mini Van. I drove over a pothole one day & both the headlights fell out. I cried!

hubby has an L reg Escort estate full of his work tools, I have a Focus 1.8 TDCI sport which is totally dog unfriendly and hubby hates to drive it wishes we could have our old mondeo back!
