Our dc2 was amazing back in the day. Not much could touch it for pace. Was the wifes daily car & I remember one time when I booted it she said "what's that noise"? I replied we're in the vtec zone you daft cow!

Personally my ever driven would probably be an Elise s2. However take your pick from a Gallardo, 997 911, 360 or db9 as well.

Owned. 1989 Mini 998. Although the choice is between that, a 2000 plate Corsa 1.2 SXi and a 08 Twingo 1.2 GT TCe

Driven; I'd say my Clio 197, it does everything so well. But, my dads Impreza WRXS does everything so well with more power and added oversteer... However I suspect that will change this summer as a mate has promised me a go in his '85 911, which although I know is a pig to drive, was my boyhood poster car.

WRXS;


No photo' of the 911 at the moment unfortunately.

Owned; Clio 197, brilliant. Close second would be a FIAT Seicento Sporting that had one seat, a rollcage and handled like a Scalextric car.

Clio 197;


Seicento Sporting;

not driven much exciting...



I've owned (outright) 3 cars in my life. This is so much better than the Mazda 323 and the Clio!

Been lucky enough to drive alot of tasty machinery before the age of 18.
The most memorable have to be :
TVR Tuscan
TVR Griffith 500
70' 427 'vette

Me in X 7USC's Tuscan Red Rose


Chasing a Caterham R300 down at Abingdon (driver admitted to breaking into a grin when he saw a 17 year old in a Tuscan keeping up with him hehe )

The best in my opinion, or the best on paper?

In my opinion probably this:


I had a chance to play in one of Palmersport's Clios last summer, I just loved it. It was a stunning little car to drive - It was fast, light, handled great and it had a proper flappy paddle gear box.

My MX5, only bought it recently and it's my first proper car I suppose. I've only just discovered how much fun it is when the roads are a bit damp.. hehe

My MR2 for both - I haven't driven much of interest, just shopping trolleys up until this.

Have only owned 1 car to this present day so I suppose it's the best and the worst. Soon to be buying an E36 328i for another track project.

It has semi slicks, 1 seat and various other modifications that mean it was keeping up with or passing most things at Castle Combe.

Best car I've ever driven slowly (at BCA) is probably the R8. Best one I've driven fast: hard to choose between the F 360 and the Exige (chalk and cheese, really) around Silverstone.

Best car I've owned had to be my GTO, but I did work up to it from a string of utilitarian and mostly ste cars.
