What's your favourite/most memorable car 'moment'?

[Mr Tom]

A thread I have just replied to got me thinking of my most memorable car moment. Whilst at uni I bought a dark green jaguar xj6 in the middle of exams from a guy in bootle, Liverpool for £500. My plan was to use it for the summer to drive to placmements and work. For the short time I owned it I had some great times. The most memorable was driving back home from work with the windows down, in the summer sun on a B road overtaking a line of cars with the car locked in to 3rd on the gearbox. The engine sounded glorious and I will never forget it.

What's yours?
