What's the best car you've ever owned?

Benzboy, you're lucky to still have the car that many people "wish they had never sold".
Not sure how you definite 'best car'.....
My favourite car in 18 years of driving has to be my old Cavalier Gsi. It was almost wrecked before I bought it. The owner was a tit, left it in his front garden, and proceeded to strip half of the car to bits and then smashed the screen when 'things weren't going his way'.
My brother, his mate and myself rescued it after lots of persuasion and proceeded to put it back together, replaced the screen and got it back on the road.

I then got 12 fantastic months of motoring out of it, enjoying every single mile. I then had to sell it when it failed the mot on rotten rear chassis legs and I didn't have the funds to get the work done.
Despite owning Celicas, Imprezas and various other 'performance' cars, my retro Gsi was the one I regret selling.
That's why after waiting and waiting, there is a now a new Gsi in the stable, going on the road next year! (sneak preview....)

Like many on here I've owned a whole host of cars and it's difficult to single one out. My 61 Ghia was the car that made me the happiest. My 68 Fastback was probably my nicest retro to drive (bar my current one). My 64 squareback was the biggest headturner. However, I'm going to have to opt for this;



A 1989 Polo Coupe S. The cheapest decent car I've ever brought. Cost me about £400 and I never had to spend a penny on it. Never let me down in the 2 years I owned it, sailed through MOTs no problem. Great fun to drive, I really couldn't fault it. It was also the first watercooled car I ever owned after years of only having aircooled cars, so it seemed positively luxurious to me.

I also like when you don't have to curse word on your car.

I'll get me coat

Bought this 70 Mach1 as a rolling shell, built it up over three years, wanted one as a kid but that slowly changed to wanting a Dodge Charger, by the time i got the Mustang on the road i really wanted a Charger.



Did'nt have the Mustang done long till i sold it to buy this 68 Charger



The Charger was a great car but ended up wishing i'd kept the Mustang , it had reliability issues for a while, did'nt so much take it out for a drive more like drive around looking for somewhere nice to break down, had hassle with the steering box and had to wait six months on a new one, by the time i got it sorted i was sick of it

Best cheap runner is my current 94 Polo, had to fit a fuel tank and an engine last year but done nothing to it since, flew through it's MOT a month or so ago

;D

Easy its GLADYS

She showed me the light and got me into retros. She never fails to start and just has tonnes and tonnes of character. I intend to keep this car going at least for as long as its been going already cause its just awesome end off.




Oh and as my sig says I'm saving the enviroment as I drive a green car ;D

My faithful old 94 Vectra 1.7TD, 10 years of fantastic service, one breakdown when it burst a tiny L-shaped hose on the thermostat housing, didn't stop the car though, it was hauling a transporter with a Fiat 850 on the back up a hill a Landrover would baulk at ;D, them Isuzu engines are tough.
Its rot free bar the inside of the bonnet over the battery.
It needs a starter motor, battery, tyres and a handbrake cable to get back on the road.

Definately a lot of Vauxhall love going on.
My best car was ...


Just a good car, and quite cool. Spent a lot of time and money on it and stupidly sold it on. Been regretting it since!
