for the guys: which is your best ever car

[Moos]

I drove this once, it was like zooming about in an enormously powerful cloud. Lovely!

Wasn't that the popular choice for bank robbers and Gangsters, is there something about your past life you wish to confess (starts tape machine, DCI Luv interviewing Moos on past life, 14:11 Thursday 29th Jan 2009)

This was my all time love. I ended up selling in 2005 and have missed it ever since... a cult car and will become much rarer

The only car I've ever had that when I put my foot down properly I really couldn't get my eyes to focus. Fantastic fun but hairy in the wet.

Fiat 2300 Innit? Nice (non standard?) colour though!

The road rally prepared 1294cc Mk1 Mini I co-owned for three years beats everything else hands down.

The picture shows it at the end of Le Jog (Lands End To John O'Groats) 1500miles, over three days, and about 8 hours sleep. I remember thrashing through some forest in scotland, nearside wheel in a ditch dragging me through a corner, as I chased down a Lotus Cortina, with all the rocks banging off the sumpguard and thinking "Life doesn't get much better"

When we finally sold it I was gutted. Met my co-owner about a year ago and we both said we wish we'd bought the other one out. Even now I still scour eBay for it. Sold it to someone in Ipswich who bought it and left it in his garden for 8 months without using it, then sold it to a guy from Holland....

If it ever appears I'll have to buy it back...

Current fun (When I sort out an MOT) is my Austin A40. Cool car for cruising in....

I'm struggling on this thread. My current car is a Skoda with flat battery/no MOT. My first was a Reliant Supervan Mark III that needed a CWT of gravel in the back to keep it stable, with a host of interesting ones in between. How's a girl to choose?

I've got a boring, family car but have had a few beauties. My fav was a 1974 Merc 360 SEL (I think, or maybe SL) and my Merc 190, black, sleek and brand new, I thought I was the bees Knees!

I'm struggling too. I can't drive.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

*Baby* you can drive my car. [if you have your own jump leads that is]

[Clazza]

Mine was my Focus RS - wicked car & driving it at N?rburgring was amazing.

I could tell you, Luv. But then I'd have to send the boys round.

Yeah, but are they a match for my "Peckham Boys"

Luv (speaking with a mouthful of cotton wall like what Marlon as The Godfather does in the film of the same title)
