Old man's Audi A8 4l Diesel. Very comfy and understated, but will really move when you want it to.

i love driving crx vtec's, for a number of reasons but the main 1 is because there fun, you can act like a twat in 1 and just generally have a laught in them. Pulling up next to porkas and a lot quicker cars on the motorway and ramming it into 3rd gear is always a laught lol

Hmmmmmm tis a tough one this!

Audi R8 - purely because its an R8

Lee's Porsche Turbo - because it is BAT SHIT fast

Reyland Sierra - Because its just spasticated

BMW 635d - because its understated luxury and performance combined

Aston Martin Vantage - because its an aston! ( but still slow as fook! )

The Dragon RX7, as its massivley out accelerates even a Veyron, and only car thats ever properly got me worried when driving it and as a passenger.

Driven loads of nuts cars, so hard to choose others, umm...

Techarts GT Street was a weapon, such an easy daily driver, but had 640bhp and looked fucking bananas.
And got to cane it around Germany.
To be honest, I think idve liked even more power, but then im a bit daft like that.

Reyland Sierra must be one of my faves too, as its everything I like about 3dr Cossies, and properly quick too.

Not sure what others. I turned down a chance to drive the Sumopower 350Z last week, regretted it straight away. Bet thatd been one of my faves.

Maybach was like floating along in a luxurious armchair, just awesome.

Couldn't help feeling I was driving a house priced mini cab though, which of course I suppose they are

Nothing like the rush of sheer Horsepower in the Saff & then switching on the gas & getting another 200 horses. For sheer performance not much to beat that. It may not be the best but you wont beat it for a pure adrenaline rush.

title is best car, not fastest, but i guess fastest means best to a lot of people on here.

i would say for pure driving pleasure, a lotus exige was the best. but uncomfortable and hot.

a bentley arnage was better in that it was more luxurious and still had some go

an aston martin vanquish had the go, the noise and the luxury but was a bit big and heavy for pure driving pleasure

an S2000 in the right mood and on the right roads was very good - the day i spent driving 3 swiss mountain passes was the best day that i have driving in my life (much better than any day that i've had at the 'ring, and i've had lots)

no car will ever come close to the sensations experienced on the bobsleigh at lillehammer, well nothing short of an f1 car that i will never get to drive.

but now cars don't do much for me - bikes are the new black

what the fuck do you expect him to say? if he thinks that's the best that he has driven for the reason given, you cannot argue with that. i'm sure that he could have had a posh beetle or whatever else for the money that has been spent, but doesn't want to. each to their own.

you are the one coming on here all 'billy big bollocks' with your fighter jet that is not even relevant to the thread
