What was your favourite car that your Dad used to own?
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!

I remember my old man having a white Sierra Ghia, Granada Scorpio and new shape Scorpio at the time
The guy who had the Sierra Ghia had my old mans job when he left as well as buying the family home and inherited the company car

My Dad was a big Jag man. When I was born I came back from the hospital in the back of the E type apparently. He passed on in 1981 and it was my biggest ambition that when I got my license (1983) I wanted to drive the E type. Then when I got a chance to drive her it was the biggest letdown ever! Stunning looks but a horrible drive (it was a minter as well not some old shitter). Biggest regret was not keeping it as the prices for them went ballistic a few years after I traded it in on new Golf GTI.

During the early eighties my dad had a couple of Saab 900 Turbo.
In black, mean looking, 185bhp was quite nice back in the days.
My ride to school was blurred like this pic.

But I also remember he had a Vauxhall Victor 3.2l Estate that had a flexi aerial that ran the full length of the car (Back to Front).
We were in Sheffield and the aerial clip came away from the front as we went round a bend.. unfortunately a copper was stood on the corner and it knocked his tit hat clean off
