Pretty eclectic really, i would say that Vauxhall and Nissan seem to be pretty popular.

I drive a crappy old Nissan Micra :driving:

We had a nissan cherry at first. It died with a very loud noise. Now we have a ford mondeo.

Gawd I love the old mini's though!

I've driven over here ONCE! LOL!! The round abouts did me in! :yh_rotfl

Do you look the wrong way?

I go into panic being a passenger in any country that drives on the opposite side to the UK when it comes to roundabouts, it's a very strange feeling.

No, strangely enough. I've been driving since I was sixteen. I was a little worried at first, but nothing is different about the actual cars themselves except of course, the steering is on the right instead of the left. All the pedals are in the same position. The only trouble I had, was trying to shift the door handle occasionaly! :wah:

I drive a VW Golf which has just had to be fixed because a White Van Man decided to look where he had been and not where he was going and hit me head on. I think he thought he was abroad as he was on my side of the road

that's a shame. I was lucky with my smash, it could've been a lot worse. Although it was mega scary as I had my 9 month old niece in the car with me. Hope you get behind the wheel again soon

I can't decide who are worse - White Van Men, Taxi drivers, Bus drivers or people who drive BMW's (as you know they are made without indicators

)

how about luminous pedestrians-you know the ones that step off in front of you and assume because they can see you you can see them despite it being dark and their wearing dark clothing. Teenagers are the worst-the ones that can't judge speed and distance yet.
