Best car you have had
« on: 14 July 2009, 17:30:26 »
Apart from the obvious (mig) what would you say is the best car you have had?
I don't mean the best looking or the fastest but just in general the best all rounder.
I would have to say a Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 GLS on a 1986 "C" plate

Chevette HS when I was young,Senator 3.0 24v when I was older.The only 2 cars I have had an "emotional attachment" to,for want of a better phrase.I was very sorry to see both of them go when the time came.
Despite(or maybe because of)all the work I have had to do to the Omega,which is almost equal to all the other cars I have owned combined,I have no attachment to it at all.

1972 Mk3 Cortina 1600GT 2 door in Daytona yellow, pre facelift slopey dash model. As standard the 1600 GT's & GXL's were fitted with the 1600 pinto, L's/XL's still ran the 1600 X-flow. This one was retrofitted with a fully rebuilt 1600GT X-flow & was a minter.
   Cost a pretty penny now if you could find one as good. Love 'tinas!!!!! 8-) 8-) 8-)

Hmmm, difficult one. Never really had a 'bad' car.

Based purely on how long I have kept them (a sign in my book of how good a car is), I would have to say top 3 are:

Rover 25 1.6iS (9yrs)
Rover 216 GSi (5.5yrs)
Omega MV6 (5.5yrs)

I would have to concede I do miss my tractor.
