As a self confessed petrol head and lover of both two and four wheels i thought I'd see who here also has a passion for their cars and bikes, so come on all you boy and girl racers, you car connoisseurs, wheelie warriors and knee down nut jobs let's see if we can get more people to connect through our shared passion of petrol ( dirty diesels also welcome) lol

Yay, on 2 wheels or 4. Although I’m going to have to give “petrol head” a miss soon because I quite like electric vehicles too.

I think I just like stuff where you don’t have to fucking pedal

Dirty diesel here, and it can beat most of the modern petrol cars on a 1/4 run.

Love jap cars, my old scoob was fun, but I didn't like spending upwards of £120 a week on petrol

Currently Subaru WRX remapped and few mods to 295bhp. Have owned four BMW's as well which 2x were used for drifting peaking at 370bhp.

As for two wheels I've had a few 400cc pocket rockets but got my eyes set on a nice Husky Nuda, or if one becomes available at a very cheap price, a H2

(yes I seem to have a death wish haha)

Most diesels will outrun a petrol on a 1/4 mile, it’s the simple fact they have a turbo and most petrols dont. They are so easy to get extra power out of. You could spend less than £500 on mapping a diesel with dpf deletes etc and they’ll be pretty fast.

It’s when you come up against a proper petrols that’s been tuned that diesel can’t compete.

Turbo a type R or tune a Subaru up and they’ll outrun all but the biggest diesels

Not into two wheels, prefer 4 legs for exhilaration.

But the three sets of wheels Sat in the drive are all gleaming like they have just left the showroom as Mr M has been on them all day

Petrol head and love anything with a V. Car's a V6 Vectra VXR and the truck is a V8.

900 thundering horses between them. Firm believer that loud pipes save lives.

Mk3 focus RS. I absolutely love it, it comes into its own on windy Aroad. Build quality isn’t up there with a German car, but I can live with that.

One of my passions is cars and anything automotive. I'm a proud owner of a car race license. Love racing around tracks! Done track days before. Done a few 24 hr races and doing one again this year.

Once owned the Mark 1 Fabia VRS which was an amazing motor! Now have a Smart ForTwo which I push to the limit on the roads on a daily basis. It's a Go-Kart and incredibly fun to drive. Looking at the Polo or UP GTI as a potential next motor.

Last night I booked tickets to American Speedfest at Brands next weekend. Love American Muscle. Also considering going to the Eureka party on Saturday night.

Used to have a Mazda RX7 with the Wankel Engine which I loved.

My current car is fast too.

Back in the day used to always go to the Lombard RAC Rally at stupid o clock on a dark winters day with my then boyfriend.
