This is a VERY easy one for me!
of all the cars I've had sofar only one has Never failed to make me smile when driving, or just generally feel better because I own her :-)
Obviously helps that she's the embodiment of my childhood dream! (thats also true!)
It's got to be my beloved Ary (seen here with me)
;D
xXx Did you buy this off a cyber gothy type lad called Carl from Leicester? I'm sure one of my friends used to go off-roading with a lad who had a landy very similar to this!?

For me, without question it's my Clubman Estate: - She's been with me for more than 10 years now and I'm sure she'll never either be finished, or leave.

That's a tough one, I think it's got to be my Viva. Bought of here after it slipped my grasp the first time! Purely for the looks and the 'i used to have one of those conversations' ! This is a very very close second though!

Mine is this, and it's the one car I really kick myself for selling: It was as nice as it looked and drove just as well. Plus had the best driving position of any car I've ever driven, and I just love the 4AG-E engine. Sold it to buy a 306 GTI-6.

A series Manta. Owned it fifteen years and went everywhere and did everything with it. If I'd known then what I know now, (how to weld), I'd still have it.

I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example.

Definitely my last D-Turbo It was sigma blue (best colour), big intercooler, heavily modified injection pump with 11mm pump head from a Transit 2.5DI, 24 psi of boost. Dyno'ed at 144 bhp and 251 torques for a spend of about 150 quid, most of that on silicone hoses S16 half leathers, 205 GTI alloys that I refurbed myself, 40mm drop, black masks, GTI-6 brakes, phase 2/3 tailights. Did 50 mpg on veg oil and would go from 30-70 in 6 secs with a spot of brake-boosting, and in a year only needed a wheel bearing

I've owned quite a lot of cars, but my current two cars are my favourites ever, I think: You'd think that this would mean that I'm in some kind of automotive heaven, but really it just means I have far too much work to do and not enough time or money! ;D

Out of all the cars you have owned, what has been your favourite? Saw this for sale at the old Retro Cars show at the Pod in 2004 - had to buy it . From a week ago - still own it , still love it - definitely my favourite.

Probably my Corrado VR6 which I owned in 1999-2001. I don't have a pic on my computer so here's one I prepared earlier. Followed closely by my van

Several, but I regret having to get rid of this; 1300cc's of Honda-matic goodness Kind of owned it twice. It was given to me gratis by a customer when the cambelt stripped it's teeth and they weren't 4rsed to spend anything to even check it out properly They'd been gifted it from a relative who'd loved it but they just used and abused it as a spare car for when they blew others up! I put a new belt on and it went off like a good'un Smoked it around for a bit but about that time my mum decided the grass was greener and left. She needed reliable wheels so I passed it on to her. After 4 years of faultless service I turned up a mint 18k from new Astra and took the Honda back hoping to keep it, but my dad couldn't face seeing it in the driveway so it had to go And this; Taunts me everytime I open the workshop door. I do miss having it on the road, so many good times in this car

I've still got it. Seen here pre-zombie outbreak sign writing and before I took most of the other stickers off. Cheers
