Okay - not one to be left out.....

The SM's car

1972 VW Porsche 914 - 1.7l - Just another Mid Engined Porsche!

Still in a bad mood with it about yesterday (Would not start - took over an hour to fix!)

This isn't my car, the car I drive I'd rather not post! But I'd like to gauge the reaction of conservative Americans to cars such as the Ford Ka above, or the Focus below.....

I'm a weird individual. I hate cars, but I like to talk about them. I guess I'm really a design lover. And I love the Focus.. but wouldn't want to drive one

BTW: underage people with cars-doesn't that scare you? I know some 16 year olds and if they lived in the states they'd have a car. And I just can't imagine those people in a car. Especially that childish small one..

Anyway, this is roughly what our family car looks like:

Of course, the one above is a way more expensive version with luxury bumpers but you get the idea :]

And it's an upgraded design but it looks roughly the same.

Am I overusing the word roughly?

*comes clean*
My name is Monty, and I drive a sprightly red Micra. (!!!)

I didn't buy it, I inherited it from my Mum. In its favour; very easy to park, and allows smugness about the inversely proprtional relationship between car length and....something else.

This is my car or my former car, if I believe those people who repeatedly claim I'm a racing driver:

Hey, I made the 2nd place in that year!

My actual car is so old and rusty I couldn't find an image in the web (the VW website doesn't admit it ever existed).

I don't want to leave a wrong impression: I think car racing SUCKS.

I drive a Dodge Carravan with 126,000. I'm looking at new Dodges, see if I can find something I can pay for.

I like the look of those two little Fords Monty. Is Ford making them or someone else?
The Ka looks like a WV Beetle.

Well since you asked - I'd prefer the Arjun MBT over a car. That way I'll never get pulled over!

However if one was to force me to have a road car I'd want a short wheel based V6 3.5 litre mitsubishi Pajero.

P.S. Yes, they're made by Ford, Ed. Not sure exactly where.

Grrr....*won't let thread die*

We must continue the gradual realignment of this forum to become SolarFlare Men & Motors.

To get back to Monty's question, what DO you Americans think of that sleek, beautiful ford focus and that nippy gem Ka?
