Have you a spare car? - Page 5

TomRS · 11th May 2016, 12:32

I have quite a few...

1. Audi RS6
2. Lotus Sunbeam
3. Audi RS4
4. MG ZT-T CDTi
5. MG ZT CDTi
6. MG ZT 190
7. Honda Accord Type R
8. Audi A1 TDi
9. Mazda 6 MPS

Although if im being honest, the Lotus/RS4/A1 are my dads but can be used if i ever need them as a "spare" the MG's/RS6 & Accord are mine.
The MPS is the missus so can be used if im stuck.

The 190 is up for sale too as it just doesnt serve much use other than sounding amazing, so i'll just have the two CDTi's, Accord & RS6 shortly.

Back in the day I had a lift in a Lotus Sunbeam. Dropped into third at 70mph and it took off like a scalded cat.

Keep the Freelander in the garage bringing it out for high days and holidays, and use anything on our forecourt at work with fuel and tax on! Sometimes its something nice like a brand new Mondeo, tonight its a red 2001 Vauxhall corsa 1.2 that smells like something has died inside it!

I have an MG ZS180 and a Rover 75 Contemporary SE as backup vehicles - it's incredibly important I'm mobile at all times.

The ZT-T has been 100% reliable though, I keep on top of replacing wearing parts quite heavily now it's ticked over 160,000 miles.

BigBen · 13th May 2016, 12:30

Well, currently on the road I have the ZT-T and a (very) beaten up Vauxhall Vivaro van - and SWMBO has her Alfa Giulietta.

The 75 is the 'backup' car - although it's not on the road or MOT'd at the moment I know it will go straight through one if I need it for anything.

I also have two Mk1 Disco's - a 1989 ex 3 door V8 I've turned into a pickup (RWD) and a 1996 ex 300tdi (knackered when I got it) that now has an Isuzu 2.8 engine in it.

Also a Mk III SWB Transit van that I've put a Cosworth V6 in from a MK III Granada (fitted it with a manual gearbox, too!). Yes, I know - but someone told me it couldn't be done.....

They're all 100 miles away at my parents place in Bedfordshire, though - over an acre and a big driveway!

i have the 2, the Gold CDT and Dorchester Red V6 - technically one is my wife's , but either of us can treat each others as a spare i guess

75driver · 13th May 2016, 19:11

The diesel R75 tourer is my spare for the diesel R75 saloon, which is a spare for the E220. 😳.
The 76 merc, is, well, just spare really.

Most people worry about having enough parking space so don't get another car...unless you are Dennis the Menace here and have a full street to use lol

EDIT: Back on topic...My ZTT is my spare car to use for when I'm in the UK lol
