Fastest car I have driven is probably a rev 1 MR2 turbo with a few mods and best fun was probably a mk5 Cortina 2.0 that a customer gave me.
My dad welded the diff up and we drifted/ autotested it will the axel pretty much sheared from the mounts!!

That only happens if the people in the better cars cant drive, and then do you really want to be passing them if they cant drive and hence might lose it?

e60 m5 was awesome, always liked them and after taking one out like them even more. Perfect car imo, 5 doors, comfy and very quick and feels a lot smaller and nimble than wha they look and also arent in your face and very understated which i like.

Loads of cars are go in there own way which is why there are very rarely cars that can do everything you want.

The quickest car I've driven was a Cooper S, the old supercharged one, I was only 15, at Rockingham

Got taken out in a friend of a friends 205GTI, MI16 with ITB's and turbo'd, circa 280bhp, that was an absolute mind fuck, had never been in anything like that before.

best kicks would be the mini clubman I had with a 998 cooper lump every trip was an event nice simple car with a quick, buzzing box of an engine and good all rounder, best for "fuck me it wants to go sideways again " would be the MG-b-GT with a SD1 high comp v8 block in it ,a combo of thick power an a chassis from the 1640's which made it easy at times to think you were trying to driving a drunked fish but also the X3 an x2 are great drives and the coog is the fastest car Iv had being able to do 140+ but I would have a mini again Iv had three so far !

I think the most fun car I've owned was my old 850 T-5. Keeping up with a guy in an E46 M3 up to silly speeds in a Ł1000 Volvo estate with a boost tweek was pretty funny

Other cars, driven loads so hard to narrow it down. Had a lot of fun driving a modified FRST a few years ago, just because it didn't work, was torque steering and wheel-spinning all over the place. Rubbish, but fun at the same time. I rate Imprezas highly too, the newer models. Easy to drive, great all rounder.

There's too many to list really, from mild to wild, peanuts to expensive.

Bosses E60 M5, nice package and a car I hope to own in the Future.

In my apprentice days at Merc would be being taken out in a Sl 6.3 W230, the noise was stunning

Most fun - Mk2 Focus RS when I worked in Preston, I only drove it from Blackpool to Preston but it was still a good time lol!

Most expensive - Mercedes E55 AMG when I worked at Mercedes in Southport, I was only 19 and felt like a dog with 10 dicks.

Favourite personally owned car - Toss up between my Sierra 2000E and Capri Laser because they both never failed me and always put a smile on my face.

my mate bought a saab 900s from one of me uncles ages ago. 180hp standard, he then fucked about with the boost and it made a huuuuuuge difference! spinning in 3rd and 4th around bends

my most fun car was the cosworth converted toyota celica i built a few years ago.
everything not needed was removed for weight savings and the noise and vibration just added to the experience. it was a scarily fast ,raw and basic car but totally impractical for daily use as it only had 2 seats with harnesses, no radio,no carpets, trims removed,electric windows removed, the fuel system including custom tank,pumps,swirl pot and plumbed in fire system was in car behind the driver meaning no room to even carry some shopping...

I've driven a few fast cars but It has to be Sitech racings 491hp mk2 frs, the way it sticks to the road and the way it delivers the power, everything else just feels heavy and boring.

I've driven a 700+hp supra and it was way to scary to open up, pure straight line car.
