Re: What kind of car do you drive in real life?

man im almost 21 only reason i have got this far with the car is because im not studying atm and i work full time all the money goes on the car

Here's mine for every day:



It's a 1988 260SE, only one owner and only 95.000km!

And then, there's my "real" oldtimer:



A completely restored '72 BMW 3.0 CSi.

All the best, Marc

I've fallen for the beautiful french lady!

Currently the family has two Citroën's from 1990, one BX GTi and one CX TGI Break. Sorry, no pictures at the time being. The BX is faster than one (read, almost everybody without Citroën experience) can believe and has outstanding comfort for a car of this size compared to Steelspring suspensions. This one has like many other Citroën hydrau-pneumatic suspension and it swallows almost any bump in the road and still manages to keep the ride on the track even when the speed is way above what's recomended My ultimate car would be a Citroën SM, it has a Maserati V6, the famous suspension system and the looks to kill.

Color is called "Estoril-Blue" but was not available back then in the '70s.
The front apron is not stock, it's form the 3.0 CSL, the leightweight coupé. Wheels are 16" Alpina wheels, 7" wide at the front and 8" wide at the back.
And just some "minor" changes underhood: 3.5 liter engine and 5-Speed "Sport" manual transmission...
Although over 30 years old, it still runs 240 km/h!
