Let the stoning commence...   :'( :-/ :-/ :-/

nice! i drive one of these at work: http://www.tollhousegroup.com/toyota/used-cars/view/158410/Toyota-iQ-1.0-VVT-i thats my old one. lovely little car :D

Thay are cool cars the IQ's. Have wanted a Figaro since before I could even drive and that one just happened to be in Tiverton-pick it up in a few days and can't wait! Had a test drive and it goes pretty well for a 1 litre (that will be the turbo  ;)

theyre suprisingly quick for something that looks like that. the IQ is like driving a shorty mini, only more comfy, and with a roof. the new one i got is a 1.33 auto, and its got satnav which is even better.

All I can say Tracy is why? what on earth is it about them personally I think they are really ugly sorry - but I will still talk to you don't worry (mind you perhaps you will) will you take me for a ride next week when I come to Devon? perhaps you can change my mind :D

Have you kept your micra?

What is IQ ?

Is Figaro good for transporting  Rosie?

rita, this is IQ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_iQ

i've seen lot of them around, but never knew what they were. at least they've got mini shaped eyes! :D I shall expect to have a good nosey at it soon!

I think they're quite retro I want to se it too I'm down on Wednesday!  But what about Rosie??

Its definately a Marmite car, everyone I have shown the photo too eiher loves it or hates it, guess you are in the second group lol!! I won't take it personally though unlike the comment from my sister..showed her the photo and she said it was horrible, she saw me driving it on the test drive and said it suited me...hmmmmmmm thanks sis!! Of course you can have a ride in it, I am off work for a couple of days after LGT so will have to come out and see you if I dont get out on the Saturday (which I probably will)

Charlies answered the IQ bit but for the other questions-the Micra is going in exchange for the Figaro and as for Rosie, shes going in exchange...no not really. There is plenty of room for her on the back seat which is how she travels in the Micra, I've got a waterproof seat cover (don't think cream leather and muddy dog would mix otherwise!)
  Wont have the top down when shes in the car,she'd probably get out at the traffic lights everytime i stopped!

I like it, very retro, will give you a flash if I see you on the road  :) :)

Ooh er missus!! :-)
Thankyou :-)

I like the retro looks  :) Not keen on the auto box, think they all come with autos, but still looks like a fun car to drive.

I thought the IQ looked good in photos untill I saw one on the road & God!!! It's UGLY!!!! At least a Smart car has cheeky looks  :)

Yep they are all auto but as I only have an auto licence thats a good thing!

I like the IQ but hate the Smart car! Just goes to show how peoples taste varies !

I often go on a new mini forum and they just ran a series of photos of what they considered to be the ugliest car. For me it has to be the multiplas. We used to cover Heidi's eyes when one drove towards us.

I recently drove a smart car when our 7.5 tonne lorry wnet in for service and MOT they sent the driver back in it.  God I really didn't get on with it it wold change down on it's own but not up  :-/

The Fiat 500 is really growing on me  :) Could I change the MINI for a 500?????
There's a jazzed up Cruiser in my town, loads of chrome &  a huge "Just Cruising" sticker in the back window. The hearse bit is spot on  ;D

:D :D :D Yeah I think that happened when I bought the MINI  ;) ;)
Yep I will be at Braddicks on the Sat at some point  :)

I have a 500 on my wants list white and chrome BUT BSM have just changed to them instead of corsas as tuition cars so in 9 months time there will be a lot of second hand ones around. Strangely it put me off the idea a bit. I see teaching cars as being restricted in life a bit like guide dog labradors. But then I remember I teach in a MINI. I need to be let loose in Andrew's MINI more often.

Are you sure they are going to let you in. Then on the other hand are you sure they will let you out.

lol-both probably :-) Don't worry I'll park up on the road with the non-minis -I know my place  :D :D :D

Haven't got much to say as per normal just wanted to come on this thread so I can take over the board.

First the board .... Next the world :-)

Oooh, i quite like your new car Tracey- and us auto drivers gotta stick together!!!!

Thanks Debs :-)!!!  It's not quite mabel but is is fun!

Any time you like. How long is it since you drove it?

I drove it after it had the works conversion but too fast for me. It catapults. I last drove it along the prom at Blackpool illuminations 2 years ago. I'm used to diesel.
