What was your favourite car that your Dad used to own?
#82
my fondest memories where when my dad had a lovely almost new 3door in white- he went to the ford showroom to test drive a cosworth and they said here sir and pointed at a brand new saphire and he went
'pfffft not one of them i want a 'real' cossie' lol and promptly took a secondhand 3door out for a drive
i remember going on holiday in it fully laiden and struggling over speed bumps

My old man used to have a white mk1 Escort RS1600 with a proper highly tuned BDA in it!
He decided it was too lairy so pulled the engine out, sold it, and put a mildly tuned 1600 crossflow in it!!!!
WHAT A COCK!!!!!!! How much would that be worth now in mint condition?!!!!!
He's had loads of capris and other stuff too.

i think i liked Dad's black MG BGT best with wire wheels and chrome bumpers, but think it probably looked better than it went
After that he had a bunch of old Land Rovers and aircooled VW's that were good fun to
he's gone back to scooters at the mo his Lambretta Li150 is something i don't understand but quite admire

My Dad had a load of different cars, but back in '83 (when I was 13) he bought one of these and I absolutely loved it.....
A 1982 Renault Fuego!
Yeah I know, looking back they weren't the best car in the world, but my Dad owned it and I loved it....
So what's the ONE favourite car that your Dad/Mum used to own and drive you around in before you could drive yourself?
Get some pics up!

Always remember dad telling the story of being pulled over by the cops so they could look at the car and then asking him to slow down after they spent ages talking to him about it pmsl

1980 Triumph Dolomite Sprint in British Racing Green,
black vinyl roof.
Engine was overbored & rebuilt using parts supplied by a company
called Sprint Spares.
He gave me the car on my 18th birthday so i could use it in part ex
with a Q plated (76) MkII Rs2000 in red.
Got rid of that when it started melting headlight/wiper stalks due to
electrical problems

My dad had this ford rochdale before i was born, it had to be sold when my sister came along.
we had this for a few years in the mid 1980's and as you can see he had a lucky escape when he was packing the car up for a weekend away, a car driven by an old blind man hit the back of us as my dad was loading it, the wing mirror of the other car actually hit my dad in the back, a foot to the left and my dad would have lost his legs or life!!
the car was replaced by several granada scorpio's which he loved.
