Whats the best car you've ever owned?

the car i miss the most is my 66 hillman minx, powder blue , very low , dark grey deep dish rostyles.it had the 1725 cc engine wich was fairly pokey and a side exit exhaust. grinned like a maniac every time i got in it. but kids and sixties british cars with fixed belts don't mix well, so i had to be cptn sensible.

hated myself for months.



ps.... awards and kudos to bc for todays most suprising entry ;D ;D

to many to count realy but i suppose the one that would stand out for me above the others would have to be this owned now for 15 years all be it not always as a complete car i brought it from a friend as pretty much a shell built it up on his garden from bits lying around and drove it home and used it for a few years running different engines and various diferent guises even had it featured in street machine then pulled it off the road for a major overhaul

i found a few faults that i hadn't expected with it but couldn't bring myself to sell it on instead i cut it up and put it in my shed for a few years
hopfully it should all be back together next year all be it a little different

that would be pretty closely followed by TNO origionaly brought as a replacment for the first 2door mk3 but is probably my best known mk3 to date

a somewhat love hate relaitionship but with some very good memorys brought it and sold it twice ,fitted 5 different engines pianted it 3 times smashed it once ect,ect,,, still very much regret selling it on last year and i'd swap it for the kadett tomorrow but then i just know as soon as the kadett goes i'll regret getting rid of that aswell if only we could all have a big place to put all our previous cars , now that for me would be one hell of a big ware house full of memorys

Just one? Ooh, a toughie: I`ll go for a Mk2 Cavalier 1.8SRi saloon (1987 facelifted version). An absolute dream to own and drive, it got thrashed every single time I went out in it and I tried to race with anything else on the road with some quite noteable successes.
Crashed twice (one my fault, one not) but refused to die. I also picked up our first born from the hospital in it so special memories.
Behind that any from: currently owned 1990 Merc 190E, Mk1 1200 Cortina (pre-airflow), series 3 XJ6 4.2 auto or Cortina Mk5 2.0GL auto.

easily the merc 300ce i currently smoke around in! but most fun would have to be the high output saab 900 turbo

I think one of my first 2 Golfs - either a C reg 1300 5 door in white or an H reg 1.6 Driver 3 door in met grey. Both great!
