Kids have payed for me to drive super cars for my last 3 birthdays. My first drive was in an Aston Martin Vantage...my boyhood dream car, the second was a Ferrari Modena and my third was a Porsche 911 Turbo. There is no denying that the latter is the best. It handles superbly and hit the throttle and you are instantly pushed back in your seat. An awesome car!!!

I loved this to bits, but

[wongthecorrupter]

I just love this a little bit more, for me there is nothing like a TVR

Best car driven - Ferrari 360 on a track day. Was all set to not like it, thinking it was all hype etc - but really loved it in spite of driving to about 1/10th of it's capability.

Probably my favourite of the 23 cars I've owned was my little 895 Polo - far, far from the most expensive, powerful or best handling, but a lot of fun at the time. Everyone liked it. Replaced with a brand new XR2 which I never liked as much.

But wongthecorrupter your TVR looks fantastic, and it must sound great (as in LOUD)!
Nice one.

I haven't driven anywhere near enough cars. Any idea how i can drive more?

[F1GTRUeno]

As you can tell, I enjoyed the DBS.

Haven't had the good fortune to drive many fancy road cars so the best car I've driven is probably Dad's Caterham megagraduate. I drove it at Rockingham in March and Dad went on to win the 2014 championship in it.

It's now for sale but I have to be sensible and resist the temptation to buy it...

Best driving car for me to date was my old Grale, Final Edition springs and circa 280 BHP. The car drove like a go kart and was great fun...



Best car owned and a close second on driven was my old M3 Cecotto, longest I ever owned a car, approximately 4yrs. Never missed a beat...



Both were great cars on the twisty roads back home...

[LordHaveMurci]

Aston V8V or DB9? Ferrari 360? Various 911's from A/C'd to 997's? Or perhaps an E30 M3 or Maser 4200GT? Caterham 7, Audi RS2?

Hard to say to be honest, they all have different things going for them, it would be unfair to choose a winner (well, I'm the winner for having driven them all )

Hi have been driving a diesel Mondeo for the past 4 years so when I bought an MX5 I thought that I'd make a comment on the Forum as I had Resurrected my interest in cars again.

Best ever car owned:



Driven on the road:



On a track:

[jimmymidnight]

Owned is easy, my old W215 CL500. Lovely and smooth, with plenty of poke when needed. It got me across Europe in complete comfort.

As for driven, that's a bit tough - There's a huge list of cars for different reasons but I guess overall smile factor etc... would go to the Nissan GTR or C63 Coupe.

[Crusoe]

best I've driven or

Both just a quick go of a mile or two but epic cars to tick of the list. Sure they aren't that great to drive as transport and too scared of their value to get anywhere near the edge of their performance but they make up for it with noise and presence.

Current Z4M Coupe probably overtake my old E46 M3 as my favorite though still have a soft spot for my old 106 gti.

[Flip Martian]

Driven: a Gaillardo on a track day. A perfectly balanced roller skate with a rocket. Fabulous for a track, probably hopeless going to the shops in.

Owned: my old 1999 Z28 Camaro. Cheap to run, more power than anyone sane person really needs. Tons of fun to drive and not many about.

[Edmundo2]

Driven/owned - My Jedi - nothing with with doors or a roof can offer quite the same buzz.

On the road my old Griff 500 or a hired Caterham, ( which was nice but needed a bit more grunt as was circa 130bhp and felt like 180bhp + would have been ideal )
