Ok, we've done the worst, now, what's the best car you've ever owned, or had the use of, the car that made you want to get out of bed an hour earlier, so you could go for a blast, the car that put a smile on your face every time you got in it, i've been quite fortunate and had quite a few tasty motors, but the best for sheer speed and the noise it made, had to be my 2008 merc C63 AMG, an animal of a car.

golf re 2000

mk2 golf with a 182 bhp motor

Chevette HS when I were a lad. 24v Senator when I was allegedly a grown up.

I would like to say my old MK1 Cortina GT or one of my many, over the years, Mini's but to be honest it must be the Mitsubishi Galant which, sadly is currently sitting idle on the drive.
Speed, comfort, easy to drive and truly reliable there is little to fault......

For reliabiltity and value, my '59 1100cc Beetle, with trafficator arms!. 130k in 12 years, two new valves and service items. Fantastic car.

always liked the chevette hs, and lotus sunbeam, rear wheel fun, not forgetting the iconic MkII RS2000

I like my Chevy very much but its not the best. If I was going pound for pound in terms of reliability, equipment, cruiseability it would have to be my Nissan Primera P12 DI SVE. I really miss that car!

for me my bmw e38 is the best i ever had...
i have 98 with 156k no rust anywhere and never let me down... faster than many cars in public road
but limited to 155 ...  much better than my omega

I would have to say my Calibra V6, it had a few tweeks so went nicely and turned a few heads

Some years ago, when it was newish I borrowed one for a week, 4x4 Turbo version, all I remember was that it was faster than I was......

1970 MG Midget was a bit of fun all those years ago

As a simple 'best car', got to be the Rover I have on the driveway.  OK, it eats HGs quicker than petrol, but generally been mega reliable. Had it for 102k and 10yrs, which is the longest I've had any car (both mileage and time).


I think my old tractor (now belonging to Squealey) has to be up there as well.  Something about that car, can't put my finger on it. Loved it.

Probably all the work that you did on it

Nope, loved it from the day I drove it home from Audo Addict's, after we'd picked it up and shoved in a new waterpump.  It had a certain...  ...hmmm...   ...really don't know  :-/.  Of the 3 cars on the driveway, that was the one that got used.  It wasn't the quickest (MV6 by a country mile), wasn't the best handling (Rover), but a nice drive, whether thrashing it or driving like Miss Daisy (Apparently, so she tells me)

Yep, agree with that - except for me it's my current daily driver.  Makes me want to go to work in the morning, but I look forward to the drive home even more!
