Hey guys and gals, how much do u luv your car? will u keep it forever??

Anyway, just wonder car will you get after your current opel?

[Anonymous]

as much as I love my car, I can;t see myself keeping it for one more year, let alone forever!

The more I think about modifying/improving it, the more flaws I come across!

It's a labour of love.... but a test of reasonability!


Regardless, I would love an e30/e36 m3....

[Bernard Siong]

no i'm starting to actually hate my car
its got so many rattles like when i turn or brake hard the back doors sounds like its going to fall off or something makes the car feel so cheap..

[a_manda]

hell nooooooooooooo :lol:

my (1st) car and as much as it gets me from A to B ... i want something with power next time, maybe not an Opel but probably turbo or at least more than 1.4L :screwy: :mrgreen:

[RK]

Since i cant seem to save up money at all. I think i will be keeping this car for a long loong time :) It's being good to me lately.

If i had the money though, I'd wait and get either the AWD supercharged Vectra V6, or a Mazda MPS. If i had more money, i'd get that Audi A4 Turbo Quattro thingy. And if i had heaps of money, i'd get my beloved M3 :) And if i had even MORE money, i'd still get the M3 and keep the remaining cash :D

[Cybulba]

?? not to sure yet what car is next.. my car goes up for sale in 2 1/2 yrs.. or before if a good offer rises. so it depends whats on the market at that time.. but if i had a choice it would be a 69 SS Camaro ;)

AGREE WITH YOU THERE 100% :D

My dream car also, has always been an M3. I will definitely be buying the the new V8 E90 M3 Convertible, which will be available in about 3 years time, until then my V6 Calibra and Turbo Astra Convertible will do :wink:

Curious however to see what happens with an AWD V6 supercharged Vectra :?

[Mitch]

I'm selling as soon as it's back on the road. I f*cking hate it. Next car will be a VX SS Commodore or maybe a new SS if the bank allows.

[Misguidedangel]

As much as my car is awesome considering its being paid for by my parents, including petrol, insurance and rego, I hate the thing. Im keeping it for another 4 years unless i win lottery or major inheritance, I'll be buying another car we i finish uni.

Considering either a WRX, EVO 5 or 6.5, DC2 Type R or a Type X 180sx... But it all comes down to money and how much i have and how much i need.. hehe

[RK]

They have V6 calibras??

[mr_astra_retired]

Might be updating to a EVO 8 next year , but i may find it hard to let the Opel go , so ........ decisions , decisions :o

[freaktown]

easiest question ever asked.

an S15 plain and simple!

[ultim8DTM5]

I'll be keeping my car for another 4-5 years, then either E46 330Ci with ASA supercharger or C32 AMG Benzo 8)

[OzzySRi]

realistically id like to be driving either an S15 200sx (if i chose 2nd hand) or a new veccy cdxi. prolly not till the end of next year.

and if money was no option id que up behind all the other M3 lovers out there :) mmm such an awesome all rounder

[woody]

I'll be keeping mine for the next 3-5 years - have to cos i'm saving for a house. Once we have the house... i'll do it up a bit - get it revalued and then think about purchasing something nice to drive, have to wait and see what comes out - if the Torana makes it to production maybe one of them in a 4 paw model otherwise it'll be something 4 paw with lots of power and preferably 2 turbos.

[astra_city]

im gonna be keeping my baby for quite a while yet...will have to last me through uni (5 years if I get into the course I want) at least. I'm happy with it though, and I'll just do mods to it over the years to turn it into a ball tearer :)
Way down the track when I do change I have no idea what I'll get! Hopefully I"ll just take my dads 330ci off his hands, save him selling it :D

Hey guys and gals, how much do u luv your car? will u keep it forever??

Anyway, just wonder car will you get after your current opel?

Whilst my XC-Corsa is probably one of the best vehicles on the market, I'd most lkely snap-up a new GTi-Golf if Money weren't an option.

Alas, I must be realistic; Money's something that's more often than not gone before it's even wired to your Bank Account.

So, considering I aspire to become a loving father of at least two, I'd probably get a new Zafira. And if I ever crave more performance, I could always drop a Turbo in it like a certain Vauxhall Zafira 'round here.

Very nice too, with the 17' Alloys. 8)

[Anonymous]

aslong as it doesnt have an engine light..... right? :oops:

[Princess]

Well my partner and I are getting a new car sometime in the next few weeks, we are keeping the Xc, but we are getting a new Jeep...

We will probably keep the XC for a while cos it is perfect for my work, and cheap on fuel (compared to the jeep)

BUt when i ma done with that i will probably graduate to my own jeep, probably a KJ or WJ both chero's

There sure are :P , ther're not that common, not as rare as the 4x4 turbo though, but most Calibra's - at least 8 in 10 are 16V 4 potters.

Depends what shoes she has :roll:

[01CDsedan]

There's definitely no way I will be buying another small car. I've had two of them and next time I will get something bigger that I can stretch out in a bit more.

I love my Astra and will keep it for a while yet, but I'm moving away from small cars and four pots and towards big rear-drive cars with V8s. So I think the next thing I get will be an SV8, an SS or a Monaro - but I'll wait for the VE Commodore first, no point buying now with an all new car less than two years away.
