Brilliant. used it for all sorts of things. Once got pulled over by the police with NINE people in it. Amazingly they let me carry on! USed it to travel (from Wigan) to metallica gigs in Birmingham and Glasgow on consecutive nights. Engine the size of a peanut.

Had a great laugh in it (almost as much as the people who saw me in it
)

Like driving a roller skate. Great fun!

Never owned a 2CV but drove one loads as it was a work car used for ferrying stuff around the park I worked in. Culminated in trying to drive on HM Highways with a trailer piled very high of picnic tables. Terrifying.
The one memory I have of it was the gearstick waving approximately out of the dashboard with no seemingly obvious sequence of gears - just pull, push, twist and wave until it felt approximately like the gear was right. Ish.

Just found this in a sub-folder on my outlook. Back in 2006. I only got rid as it was cruelly rear ended

Best car I have ever owned. 650cc engine top speed limited to 85mph, but boy drove better than most other cars I have ever driven, and felt just as quick!

Caterham 7
Imprezza
VW camper
Dolly sprintBut probably my favourite was my MkIV spitfire - no need to go over 50, in fact it was terrifying to do so, would understeer, oversteer and 4 wheel drift all in legal limits

Internet piccys, haven't got digitals

For the big high pressure turbo it had, rocket ship once it wound itself up

My first car, Fiat Panda 750 and my current wheels, my Vito Van.

Yep I dont get cars these days that have so much grip, older cars allowed you to have fun at safer speeds (Cappuccino above)

Never mind hairdressers, apparently a friend's leg-waxer had one just like mine. :ooops: Lease car not owned, so I gave it back before it had a chance to break down.Current t4 2.5tdi caravelle is pretty slow in comparison but drives nice enough and perversely cheaper to run than the car ^^ half its size...and unbelievably useful with the back row of seats out.
and no i haven't 'christened it'. Yet.

54 plate Civic type-R for me. Never missed a beat in the four years I had it. The sound it made when you hit 6000rpm and the vtech kicked in was somthing else.

A bog standard 1.3 Ford KA. Not fast, not glamerous but I have never driven anything better in the snow. Thin tyres all sat in the corners, rubber bumpers and not huge amounts of torque meant many a happy hour sliding around Clent on snow covered roads.

I think I had the pleasure of meeting your Corrado on a Peaks ride?
Whats wrong with it?

Hora, wasn't me (but might have been the car and previous owner).
Suspected crank bolt failure = bent valves and new engine time

1.0l mini
vauxhall Nova GTE. I'll never forget that car, it was a true pocket rocket.Posted 8 months ago # -
I'd like to add my Puma but I'm unsure whether it is better than my MX5, somehow I feel abit of sacrilege.

ooh i had a 106 rallye... so much fun... shame it fell apart.
without a shadow of a doubt the best car I have owned was a civic Type R... much better than the golf GTI mkv1 I had after it.

306gti - a fab handling car - the only car I've owned I would go the long way round on trip to go round extra roundabouts.
Three XM 24v - quirkyness personified.

Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6
Drove the wheels off the muther to the point where I kept popping the spot welds at the base of the 'B' Pillar.
Just the best hot hatch, EVER !.

couple of mentions for the CTR (Type R). Should I?
Posted 8 months ago # -
Also had one of these
Although good it wasnt quite the car it could have been. The Mk3 appears to have an identity crisis of wanting to be luxureous and more of a GT feel. It fails to do that, but then isnt as much of a sports car as the Mk1 or Mk2.

Without question the best I've owned, and used as my only car for 2 years
993 C2 by CaptainMainwaring1, on FlickrPosted 8 months ago # -
Funky I drove a mk3 against a mk2.5 and the mk3 left me cold. It would be great on a long distance motorway journey but thats the only area it beat the mk2.5 (Soundly) on. Everywhere else the mk2.5 was amazing- utterly so. I remember a few times giggling driving the mk2.5

@ Hora yes you should! but not the latest shape, it has to be the EP3. or a JDM FD2. just the best... teh mkvi golf GTI comes close because f it selectronic slip dif thingy... but I'd go for the civic. I currently own the UK FN2 and its shit... however those first ones were animals.
