What Car Do You Own?

Postby Hai Perso Coyone? » Mon May 29, 2006 11:51 am

Just thought I'd ask what people around here own...

My parents (and I for that matter) own a 2004 Lexus IS200Plus...comes with a GPS and other goodies...

Your turn ;) :)

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Well seeing as how my first car was an Escort, my current one is also and they've been incredibly reliable and good transport I've got no complaints. I had my first (a Mk III for 2 1/2 years) and we've had this one for 6 years!
Neither EVER let me down. I'm a big fan ;) In fact I've only had to replace the engine temp. sensor on this one and the front brake disks (due to a defective pad damaging one). Not bad at all ;)

Apart from their annoying habit of rusting quicker than any other car, I must say all escorts I have encountered have been good enough cars. my dads lasted him well.

The rear wheel arches are a terror for rusting on Escorts. Hence the first thing I do is sand them down and give 'em a lick of Hammerite.
My first Escort after a rather unfortunate encounter with a tit on my side of the road in a Jag which led to me rebuilding the front end (including welding some mighty steel bars in the bumpers) and painting the whole car in silver Hammerite with a black base line and chassis. Talk about bullet-proof as well as rather cool 8)
