Favourite Car - that you've owned

[Beezerk]

Erm not sure, my first car, fiesta pop 1.0 in dog poo brown. Manual choke and looking back an absolute death trap but it got me out there.

Mk II Toyota MR2; a low budget Ferrari and still the only car I’ve ever had airborne. Great fun.

My favourite goes back to 1967 when I had just come back to UK from a 3-year tour in Cyprus.

It was a SAAB 96 with the 3-cylinder 2-stroke engine, not quite as powerful as the one Carlsson won 2 Monte Carlos with but I loved the car even though it had only 3 gears and first gear was unsynchronised - double declutch essential.

Dear god no lol

Southern Roadcraft SRV8!
Chassis design was far superior, and the body was 50 times better!

My MkII Cobra 289.

Five litre,270 bhp, Ford V8. 0 - 60mph in under five seconds. No power steering or servo assisted brakes, real seat of the pants driving!

I've had company cars for the past 31 years, so my best "purchase" was this...Kawasaki ZZR1400. Loved that bike.

 

[hors limite]

!992 Porsche 968. Last of the front engine, 240 hp, 6 speed gearbox. Kept for sunny days out.

Absolutely LOVE it

how do you get on with the forward swept roll bar?
I love how it looks, but i am very broad shouldered, and it hindered my driving position

Got 2 favorites

my favorite to drive was my 2006 reg BMW 320 D.. beautiful car to drive and own

however my current work and golf car.. a 59 reg Honda civic I just love because the boot is blooming massive.. can fit an electric trolley (m1) my clubs (without removing driver etc) shoes and anything else I need and still have space for a second set of clubs

No problems with the brace bar, it is cranked and fixes to the chassis through the N/S footwell. Probably more of a hindrance for the passenger!

Not a car freak so my favourite car was an Astra estate 1800.
Boring and predictable.

I had one of those, in a 'white' like when you wash a t-shirt to often with other colours. But it had a red go faster stripe. It was 10 years old when I got it.

I replaced it with one of the 1st Ford KA in Germany which I won in a magazine tombola. Probably my favourite. Collected it directly from the Ford factory in Cologne. It came with all extras available back then.

1972, 246 Dino in Rosso, of course.

 

[GreiginFife]

The Mercedes C43 I just got rid of and now regret. The 335 touring is nice but its just not as raw or classy. The C43 has been my favourite to date. XR2i was my first car and that was also a great, nippy wee thing.

Mk1 golf gti 1.6, best car ive ever our will ever own

 

[Slime]

Either my '74 Austin Maxi, '72 TR6, '78 Alfasud Ti, '86 Montego Turbo or my current 1998 LR Wolf,

 

[Bunkermagnet]

My current car, a Mazda 3 sportnav, 2l petrol auto. Lush.

 

[clubchamp98]

Cortina mk2 2000e
Capri John Player special British racing green special edition.
Escort Mexico.

None would beat my golf off the mark now but then they were quick.

 

[Coffey]

Only ever owned 3 cars so my current would be my favorite

VW Golf R Mk7.

Amazingly quick and great to drive. Also goes a little under the radar as people don't expect it from a Golf.
