Dan - well spotted - the vagaries of pivot tables (some of the Vauxhalls/Fiats and a BMW were keyed in with a space behind their name so were counted separately and on list above twice) - let me know if you spot anything else and I'll fix

Conf - stands for confirm so where I am not sure or didn't have the info I have put this in ie at present the fuel type is

Conf 20
Diesel 15
Petrol 70
Grand Total 105

Anyway revised list is below

BMW 18
Ford 16
Audi 7
Bike 6
Vauxhall 5
Alfa Romeo 4

Anyway conclusion from above is Alfa Owners are more vocal that Audi owners - I was surprised by that result!!

All we need now is the 'average' car.

Take all the bhp's, weights, capacities, etc and see what we get.

How common are 3 Series on this forum!

Bryan M · Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2008 1:17 am Post subject:

Dan - the file has capacity for all that - but it was based on the info at the top and my knowledge so there are a lot of gaps - if people want to send me info i will update or I can post the file some how to show what is missing

Happy to create columns for whatever is required for info

Av Capacity is 2218 cc over 66 vehicles which I have info / could guestimate
Av Cylinders are 4.82 over 74 vehicles
Total size at the moment is 105 vehicles and i am missing 91 entries for colour and BHP is similar

I love the way the 'spec' for Iain's is quoted as 'slag'

Bryan, the PM I just sent, I forgot to say the Astra is the old man's coupe. D'oh!

Rather late to this because my broadband's been down for a week (thanks BT).

There is another vehicle omitted - it's pictured on the left.

You may recall we listed our engine sizes and bhp figures a while ago - I still have the spreadsheet which summed and averaged the figures. It will need a little updating following vehicle changes and the arrival new forum members.

Dave - it crossed my mind at the time when I was entering it in but I was having Excel blindness at the time

Will add it in - i will send a PM with my email address on and if you can send me the file i am happy to merge together

Strictly speaking, it's Jo's car, but I'll be doing all the mechanical work. As per usual.

I will actually be sad to see the Coarse go....

So is the new trend - buying a new car that's the same as the old one? Perhaps I should ask Porsche Swindon if they have any GT3s left ...

Ah, the Nova 2-door saloon: the Western European Trabant!

scamper · Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 1:25 pm Post subject:

Er, mine is a non-rep Touring i'll have you know, and thus not an E91 (?)

needmorepower · Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 4:59 pm Post subject:

Sorry I'm late to this (as always).

For joyous identification the Mighty

Vectra is a 1.9 Tdi - 120 brake. In black. In full non-scamper spec.

But can we add my wife's car to the list (seeing as it's my name on the V5!!)?
Seat Leon Cupra R, 1.8, 4 pot, 20v, Turby. Also black (cos I love all the cleaning...

).

That makes me sound a lot better - wouldn't want people to think of me a a diesel repmobile driver ... although it might be a bit late for that. Bugger.

What about recent additions? I'm thinking of my 'new' Peugeot 605 SVdt tow-car.... Strictly, it's Amanda's car, but as I put my name on the V5 I'll claim it....
