What was your favourite car you owned?

[McScriven]

Having just bought a Ford Escort Orion 1.8 SI Ghia I'm really enjoying driving it as it's so comfortable to drive.

However, what is your favourite car you've owned and why?

First car I owned - white MkII Cortina 1500. If I had to drive it now I suspect I'd get fed up pretty quickly with it's "basic" style and performance, but loads of happy memories, not least of interesting and eventful away trips!

Honda Civic Type R, an absolute pleasure to drive.

now I know why they call you Mad Cyril....I had a 1500 T reg Allegro in Reynard Metallic with very comfortable seats they needed to be, for sitting around waiting for the RAC to rescue me.....

Dont think you understood the question properly mate, its all about a car you actually have owned!.

Stop dreaming!.

Fave car ever owned is probably my current one - yes, it's an old man's car (a Volvo), but it's comfy as hell, shifts like sh*t off a shovel and is a joy to drive.

One of the most enjoyable cars I've driven for any sustained period of time was a Peugeot 106 diesel I had for about 8 weeks in 1998. Ridiculously overpowered for its size, and so it was a complete joy to chuck around the country lanes of Somerset.

I also hired a Mustang Convertible whilst on holiday in the US recently, and that was an awful lot of fun...

My fav is my current one as its my first

Mind you, i did drive my dad's Frontera Sport Jeep for a couple of weeks just after i passed and that was quality. No f**ker messed with me in that. The power steering and electric windows were under-rated (at the time) but now realise how nice it was.

Ford Fiesta 1.1 1991 Version. Colour? Hmmm. Silver/Grey. Had my first real problem on Saturday (and i've had it for a year) when the petrol cap wouldn't open. However, the old bloke managed to sort that problem (illegally) and without any cost. Its got me to Boston, Shrewsbury, B'ham etc... without any problems (YET!) and seems pretty bloomin' reliable for £700. The best thing is that its unbeaten when i travel away from home in it. Im sure this record will go soon (with N'ton, Cheltenham, Cambridge, Oxford, Maccy) all left this season ...

So its you disturbing the peace and tranquility of Spa Road then ?



My favourite was an XR2 purchased from new in 1987. Gutted when i had to flog it the next year after the big crash when my morgage repayments more than doubled!

My current 206 GTI(non 180) was on a par with it untill the engine management went tits up last week at only 15 months old. Its still off the road now.
