My 306 Rallye. Loved that car, so much fun and feel.

 

I loved my MK1 Escort RS2000, cracking car, sounded awesome and it gave me so many good memories. I would have to say that on a par with that was my MK2 Golf 16V GTI, everything a hot hatch should be, just a shame that after owning it for almost 5 years some brain dead white van man caused it to be written off !

 

my favourite so far without doubt was my supra, i dont regret getting rid and i wont buy another but it was an animal and a thing of beauty imo.

 

Peugeot 309 gti and a Mk5a RS2000 never let me down and roughly only cost me fuel in the 5 years I owned them.

3 door for turning heads but typical Cosworth money pit

For me its between 3 cars, I love my saph but it would have to be my 1st 3dr cossie, my 1st Mk2 Astra GTE 16v C20Let it was fucking quick and the police never could catch me lol and my white S2 when I rebuilt the engine the only week I got to drive it it was immense unfortunately from then on it blew box's weekly so sold.....

 

Best driven probably my sister's old mini, very nimble and felt going faster than really were, downside was it was a crap car mechanically, blown engine, failed brakes, rust, rust and rust.
My favourite owned my Mondeo ST24, but not had many cars, just very comfy cruiser and been very reliable.

 

You need to own more cars

 

My first Cossie....was only stage one but the feeling of pride and general awesomeness when I drove it home was one I've never had again!

I remember driving it home and picking up my brother and two mates, and driving it about all day

 

Some really good memories in my mk1 rs2000 that felt like it was on rails and still my fav from what I can remember for handling like a dream then stuck between my escos and s1 which Luca now owns

 

Probably my first car, a mk4 1.25 Fiesta, stripped it out, 60mm springs, bullied all my mates in their 1.4 Polo's etc!

Though being 20 I'm only on my second car, so not really much to rave about Would love a 205, but it's looking to be a mk5 ZS.

 

mk 2 escort 1600 ghia with all the spoilers etc still miss it 20 years later ,nearly killed me [driving like a twat] first ever bunk up in a car etc

 

My mate got that m3 off Steve not long after and has still got it. Don't really do anything with it really, has been sat a while.

My best car is my sapphire cosworth but I did enjoy my golf mk1 gti, my 205gti and my 200sx

 

Daytona violet E36 M3 coupe. Drove awesome, went well & handled great

 

my old Q plate RS16i turbo. was an absolute hoot to drive

 

what a nail, but was a great car

 

My second Mk5 XR3i. Damn it was a fun car to drive. Regret that i sold it


Today it looks like this


For sale for 900 quid. So tempted to buy it back, sold it for 4600 quid 10 years ago

 

favourite car ive owned and still have is my 1986 Toyota corolla gt coupe (ae86), have it 7 years now, spent two and half years of that doing a bareshell restoration on it



apart from that car the only other one I really loved was a 96 red evo 4 I had, I live in Ireland but went over to Liverpool to look at one that was dog rough so then hoped on the train to Nottingham and bought the red one there, got the overnight boat back to Ireland from Liverpool and the joy of being thrown back in the seat taking off from every roundabout or junction driving that car at 6am on the way home was unreal and on the limiter in 5th gear on the motorway was unreal

 

I always promised myself a 60's Cooper S 1071, one day maybe....

 

Got my mini And my Sierra, but non drive

 

I love my saff, but other than that, i'd say either my 205 DTurbo which was ridiculously good fun............



Or my civic VTi, this car was just awesome, went very, very well, handled like it was on rails and never ever broke, plus the standard LSD was a brilliant feature!

 

has to be pug 205 gti had a 1.6gti and a gti6 powered so much fun to drive loved owning my escort rs turbo but was never as good as the 205

 

I think a lot of what made your favourite car was down to the time of your life you had it.

For me my favourite car is probably my old VW MK1 Golf GTi. They were great cars and just slid in a controlled fashion when pushed, it certainly was the bollox when I was 18! Both me & my mate had mk1 gti's at the same time.

What made it so great was being 18 with a golf gti! Think I could safely say if I'd waited almost 20yrs to drive one it wouldn't be my favourite car!

Seems strange that we could insure them back then, just caught insurance at the right time. Just before we were driving insurance was through the roof due to a lot of RS cars and the like being stolen or smashed up. Then it just seemed to come down massively, I remember my mate getting a quote on a saphire cosworth at 19 for about Ł900. My golf cost me about Ł600 to insure at 18.

 

Best car I've owned is my IS - it's not fast or quick, or even economical But it's by far the best, and nicest, car I've ever owned



As for favourite - well I loved my two S1's, but I'd say it has to be my XR3i;



Just cos it was my first "proper" car, and I put a lot of time, money, sweat, and probably tears into taking it from completely bog standard, to the final product. It was nearly all hand done (all except the final painting; but all the fabrication, prep, primering, fiberglassing, etc etc was all done by me, my brother and some mates from time to time), so was a real labour of love.

Miss that car!

 

mk2 xr2! was my first car and an absoulte minter.f882 uhj or was it f822 uhj cant rememer without looking at pics, would buy it back in a heart beat just for the sound of the ashley 4 branch and mild steel exhaust

 

That's stunning mate.

 

Mine has to be my mk2 rs 2000, it was sat on the deck caged out with twin 45s in signal orange! I blew the gear box and sold it for Ł400 about 12 yrs ago such fun driving it with my mates, regret selling it to this day

 

thanks!!! that was last summer after 2 and a half years of blood sweat and tears doing the resto and a lot of bloody money!

 

one of the drawbacks is that you sell something really nice, then want to buy it back years later, only to find that its turned into a bucket of shit

 

My Renault 19 16v. Wasn't the fastest car I've owned and it was exceedingly French but when I was 18 and all my mates drove pop plus's you'd get all the ladies onto the leather seats of the Renault without a moments hesitation

 

erm,,, its hard as i honestly have loved something about most of my cars

loved the power of my old cossie,,,, loved the motorway driving of my old BMW 325i E36 as i could do 120 through dartford tunnel easy

love my clio 172 as its soo much fun to drive as its like a gokart

I REALLY REALLY love my impreza but thats be cause i didnt want to buy it but drove it to compare and,,,, well i cant sell it as i love the way it handles and stupid speeds just needed more power,,, which i hope to have soon lol

 

Think mine has to be my old montego turbo. It looked like an old shed but was fast as feck back in the mid to late 90s (high13s). Quite a few Porsches got surprised by it.
