gangzoom Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Whilst doing some tidying up today I came across a car magazine from 2007, the most notable feature was several prominent articles on the rise of diesel power summed up in this advert by Audi and Shell. At the time I had just bought a 350Z, not in a million years could I have thought a decade later diesel is now on the way out and I would be waiting delivery on an electric car made by company that was barely in existence back than!! I'm not even going to pretend I can second guess what I'll be driving in 2027, but I can safely say I reckon the A4 is going to look still pretty much the same, after all in the last decade not that much has changed . So happy holidays all, what were you driving in 2007 and what do you think your be driving a decade from now?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) I was 13 In a decade... Maybe a Lexus LC? Edited December 25, 2016 by Strudul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 2007 ~ Well I think I was driving a 1998 Ford Mondeo ST24 back then. Can't remember exactly without looking at my old car documents but I'm pretty sure it was that. A decade from now I'd like to think I'll be driving something fast and sporty still but you never know, ...couldn't possibly hazard a guess really.

Strudul Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 A decade from now I'd like to think I'll be driving something fast and sporty still but you never know, ...couldn't possibly hazard a guess really. My thinking was that in 2027, the cars from 2017-2020 will have depreciated to an affordable amount, so that's what I'd be driving in a decade. So just pick your favourite new / upcoming car while taking into account how much it will cost in 10 years (a £2m+ Koenigsegg is still gonna me £2m+, but a £70k Audi is probably gonna be ~£10k). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 2007 I had a Zed, 2027 will probably still have the Zed, should just about be run in by then Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gassy Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 2007 I was driving a 2004 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI. Wouldn't even like to even start to imagine what I will be driving in 2027 I tend to have fads on particular makes my first 20-25yrs of driving have all been Fords no tell a lie there was a Rover 820 in there somewhere,currently in the Nissan phase I've gone from a 1.0 Micra to a Zed so who knows.

Oh I get that but so many things going on in my life & future variables that I can't predict. Maybe I'll have a shed load of kids by then & need a mini van, who knows?! I'd love an Audi R8, Nissan R35, Porsche 911 Turbo and lot's of other performance cars but who knows as my tastes may have changed a decade from now.

I get asked those silly "where do you see yourself in 5 years from now" questions all the time, but apparently "I have no idea" is not a good enough answer. Can't harm to think of a potential option - It doesn't have to come true. So, an R63 AMG if you're lucky and an R35 if you're not? Didn't realise you could an R8 for £40k now. Hate to think what the upkeep is though... Probably the same as the purchase prce... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangzoom Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Buying something that costs stupid amounts now in 10 years time seem like a great idea. I thought I was doing 'OK' with not changing cars too often but by the time the next is delivered in a few weeks I would have gone through 4 changes in 10 years, so on average a different car every 2.5 years . Need to kick that habit now am a dad and some proper responsibilities in life!! Edited December 26, 2016 by gangzoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chips Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 2007: Was riding a 2003 BMW F650 CS I had in the garage at parents house a 1976 LX 2 door Holden Torana(not running due to taking on a kerb and losing) At that time I had fully rebuilt, disassembled/reassembled to tidy up everything and then modernised it as much as it needs to be where I put in an electronic distributor and seats from a Supra. 2017: I'll still have the Torana - have it roadworthy and maybe add a blower to 350 chev. maybe still have my current model fairly modified 2013 zx6r. (no intention to sell) maybe still have the 370z (no intention to sell) New addition! Tesla model S P???D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
