Me, 28, 2007 Subaru Liberty 2.0R, 550kms around town thank you very much...

The Wife - my old 2000 AU2 Fairmont Ghia - which I bought 3 years ago. She hates it cos 'the back wheels keep spinning' when driving in the wet. Maybe she is more used to our 1.4L front drive Rover 214i hatchback we had back in Pom land....

I'm 23 and as a salesman for a Toyota dealership I get a new car to drive on average every 3 months (or up to 7000kms).

Have a VB commodore which I'm trying to sell. Will have another EL Ghia V8 in the future, just a matter of when!
