for the guys: which is your best ever car

[SteveT]

Which one, and why, what made it your favourite?

[georgia]

Why only for the guys?

My favourite was the red one.

Batmobile (TV series version)

Because I've never driven and never will.

Renualt 5 GT Turbo Pearl White Because I was 19

I'd pick between two if that's OK Steve? First, some British grit - the classic Landrover:

It's the ultimate do anything, go anywhere vehicle. It went, and still goes, to war. It farms, it carries and it never, ever breaks. Ever. I don't specify which Landy (although the picture is a mk1) but the early ones have a rugged beauty that the modern ones don't).

Second, some Gallic flair - the beautiful and ingenious Citroen DS:

Unique in design, futuristic even at 50 years old, capable of driving on only three wheels, used by French Presidents. A car with character. And I want one. Badly.

Are we talking about our favourite car that we've owned? Or any car at all?

[AllforNun]

Got to be the one with those two girls Joyce and Vicky, whom i met in Billericay.

[Cassius]

Ferrari Dino in yellow - in my dreams.

[Brendan]

Favourite car I?ve ever had was the 1979 Mercedes W123 I drove for a while.

Favourite ever? That?s a bit difficult. It?s like trying to choose your favourite song but for styling reason only: The original ?55 T-Bird, First generation Ford Mustang, Porsche 356 speedster, Alpha GT Junior.

Well the reason I stated 'for the guys' was the fact that women to the most part, are less likely to turn their head for a car, unless it is a red one.

Thankyou for your input, Georgia dear!

Cowboy anything is permitted during those youthful, innocent days, which are all too short.

David I have always loved the shape, and indeed the ride, of the citroen it was a landmark in car design, and still looks good enough for the 21st century.

Jeremy any way you like it. In your dreams, owned, or both.

AllforNun you're not slipping back into those nasty little habits are you, dirty little devil,.......... lucky bar stud!

Gt turbo definitely and Renault Clio Williams racing red, boy racing days, that is not why i am called Karter though.:)

[PeckhamRose]

A Hire Car.

[Mick Mac]

Easy - My Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 v6 24valve etc etc

Sold it just last week for ?800 on ebay - very sad to see it go after 7 years. :(

Have upgraded to a German car but not the same fun at all.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

The Gt turbo had the turbo dial that kicked in around 2500rpm so you could heal/toe around small roundabouts and wheel spin away with a big grin on yr face. Wish I was 19 again. I had money and smiled alot more.

[karter]

only trouble with that car was that the turbo charger would burn out quite easily, engine too small .

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Never had a problem with the turbo.. 5 Clutch cables thou. Switched to the Ford Fiesta Turbo after that but it wasn't the same.

[karter]

the fiat uno turbo had a problem with burned out turbos aswell. The ford was a 2ltr wasn't it?

For the past 22 years mine too has been the red one, and I still own her....

(Editd again because the picture fell off)

[Annasfield]

Sorry, I know this a thread for "fellas" and you all think I'm some wannabe bloke, but I really detest general girly stuff.

I LOVE football and I like cars. (I also paint my nails, wear high heels and have long hair, so hopefully that makes up for it)

Was nearly fickle enough to date a fella who drove one of these once.

So why didn't you date the guy with the Aston Martin?

Hell, even I would have been tempted.

Ab-so-lute-ly Jeremy!...I would have made it clear "No touching" on our first "Date" and then could say (after I dumped him) that I've been in one of them...

[jaybee82]

A spotless 1983 Golf GTI Campaign in Mars Red. Loved that car to bits have have regretted selling it ever since.

[Brendan]

That Aston is pretty but it?s about 15 year too young to be a proper car yet.
