Your second cars

Post by **Oak** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 10:52 pm

I have a Fiat Panda 1.2 4x4, impossible to get a slower car ..........but its very useful, you can park anywhere! Attracts more attention than the RS4.
Would trade up to a Panda Cross 1.3 Diesel ideally in orange if I ever see one for sale.

What sort of power are you running?
Looks nice by the way.

Cheers,

Its running about 270bhp, so only mildly tuned. Does need a remap tho to take advantage of the straight thru exhaust and filter and mammoth intercooler lol

Bit of a sleeper, sitting on spax rsx coilovers, powerflex bushes all round, uprated brakes & stainless hoses, clutch, gearbox and not forgetting the 4wd

I take it your cage is not just for show then?

amazing
a fellow owner who is part of the <4000/year club _ I actually thought about extending the expected mileage to 6/7000 just in case I want to go for a bigger trip or 2....

yea!
Can I join!!! LOL mine will be <4k miles PA...the Corrado is luck if it does more than 2k PA

Ditto - S4 insured for 5k but will struggle to break 4k even with Le Mans - has only done 1500 miles since renewal 1st Sept. 205 GTi insured to do 1500 - minimum policy would allow - might get used more around town maybe with current fuel prices. Pointless running eight cylinders sat going nowhere in a queue, recall a 10 mpg shocker getting stuck for 40 minutes going two miles to the station and back to pick someone up.

Toyota Prius

Joking aside, company car - chosen by my family to save the planet, offset my evil pollution and avoid congestion charge - but I love it around town. It's like a big, fully loaded dodgem car, and it goes where you wouldn't want the RS to be...

Best of all, the tax makes it somewhere between free and income generating!

I have a Smart Brabus as my daily driver. I do 1000 miles a month and get over 40mpg out of it in normal driving. Can get close to 50 if I drive like a Nun. The money I save in fuel and depreciation on the RS4 easily covers the leasing cost of the Smart.
