What was your favourite car?
It may be the car you own now or maybe 20 years ago. Did you sell it and instantly regret it, were you forced to sell it? Or worse?

Mine I think was a Pug 309 GTI Goodwood. I was 18 at the time and thought I was the kiddy. smile
Sadly being 18 it ended up on its roof. frown

Had a few and driven lots, but none come close to the grin factor of a 420 bhp 1100 kg Noble with no driver aids biggrin

My Laguna II. 2.0 16v Dynamique, didn't set the world on fire by any means and was thirsty for it's power output but was like a massive armchair cloud9

Was forced to sell it thanks to my insurance company, and ended up with toastomatic.

laugh My Picanto is probably the second favourite, great little thing as long as you lower your expectations to a realistic level.

probably my 1st 200sx (s14). Genuinely loved it, and I was young enough to not mind the fact that it was loud and moderately antisocial. Also used to go to lots of meets etc which I enjoyed back then.

Oh my, I had one of them from new. I was somewhat older than you though. Bugger that stearing well got hot in the sun biggrin

For me, I would be hard to choose between my Volvo V70R and the Mercedes S600L

Mines my old 200sx s14a, absolutely loved it had it for four years & it was only running 250bhp but it felt really quick & it was really usable.

Never had a car since that loved going sideways like that did, great fun, i surprised a few motors in that car because they dont look much but they shift once you turn the boost up abit.

Too difficult to choose. I've liked all my cars. Even the really crap ones have been brilliant in their own way. smile

Very hard question to answer. Favourite would depend on circumstance (track, b road, mile munching etc). Now i think about it, My overall favourite would be my current Elise. Which is a surprise. I hadn't realised. smile
