favourite easy!! my twin turbo SD1 ,
loved it and only sold it cos i got offered stupid  money for it after 5years of ownership,
 closely followed by the mega Meega
original TD estate terrificly reliable motor still going out here in spain,
followed by my gsi 24v and sennys

and before that lot most of the 11 3litre capri,s i owned!!

worst car dont think ive ever had a bad one to be honest, but ive never owned a wrong wheel drive motor? lol

[Andy B]

That's easy ............. 24v Senny! & I don't even have any pictures of it! 

[albitz]

I dont think I have any of mine either.One fine day Im going to retrieve the thousands of family photos from the loft and go through them just to see if there is one.

I could be wrong, but I'm sure that all photo's of my 24v were of the digital flavour and were all lost when a PC died 

I've have to do as you & see if there are any proper photo's featuring my blue 12v 
I think there's only one of my MkIII Cortina with a very very young Mrs Andy sat on the bonnet wearing my uniform cap!

Phaeton V6 I have now

Favorite - always difficult 

First car was a mini 1000 which I put aan ausitin 1300 engine in - that was fun
Had a Vecy GSI as a company car and really enjoyed driving that around the country
Really like the 3 migs I have had. All have and do serve me well
 
But if I had to choose it would be my MK1 Escort 1300 sport.
Bought as standard for £440 dabs around 1984 ish
Got hold of a re-con Cortina 2000e engine then found a cross-member that would let me put it in
Over the next year or so uprated the exhaust, suspension, brakes, chassis, clutch & gearbox and fitted a Corsair 2000e diff. 0-60 in just over 6 seconds LOvvved it. 

Put on MK3 cortina wheels and some big boots and re-sprayed. Compulsory centre console, fancy stereo and graphic equaliser
For the next 4 years went everywhere in it, most trips were to Santa Pod & around Europe
Happy Happy memories of many "burn-off's" and race's around the place and weekends in my dad's garage "tinkering"
Eventually sold her for £650 because I got a company car and wished I never had.

and this is the only picture I have of her, probably just after the re-spray. God I was thin then

1994 Cavalier Turbo (Maroon) was immaculate and Blisteringly FAST!

By far my 69k bmw e34 525 on a 96 n plate. Last of the proper built bm's

Funny, the '93 E34 525 I had is my least favourite car. Not the worst, but the most irritating. There was just so much about it that got on my nerves. Gutless engine unless you revved the nuts off it; stupidly short gearing(direct drive fifth? what idiot decided on that?); dreadful gearshift; cheap looking interior that wouldn't have looked out of place in a Nova Merit; pathetic load space for such a large estate car; horrible to work on etc etc. If it had been a saloon like the friends who bought them at a similar time then I would have got rid of within months rather than the 4 years I did own it. All 3 of us decided that we won't have another BMW. I should have looked harder for the Scorpio estate I actually wanted. Scorpios, like Omegas don't suffer from the mostly imaginary 'Ultimate driving machine' drivel.

Favourite for me was a 98 Mitsubishi Galant v6 with all the toys,I still miss that car

One of my favourites and definitely swmbo's favourite.....

[omega3000]

Carlton 2.0 cdx , full leather and all the toys of the era .
Granada 2.9 ghia X , first big auto and all the toys .
Vectra 2.5 cdx manual .......snorting induction kit 

[alfie]

Orion 1.6i ghia, 3 years old when I first bought it,good looking ,fast,and never ever let me down.Did not have to spend a penny on it,except for servicing,tyres etc.I should have never have sold it.

This is difficult.
My favourite Omega would be Vader without doubt.
But favourite as a whole it would be my Cavalier Sri 130 hatchback, went on family holidays in it, ticked every box . A very close second though would be my Classic 3.5 Range Rover Vogue. 

[LJay]

In younger days a Cavalier Diplomat 2.5 V6

More recently a 330D

My Dad had one of these on an L plate, it was the first V6 I'd driven and I absolutely loved it!

My favourite car was my 1.8 Cavalier GLS on a K plate, I adored that car and it was only parted with as no one could work out what was wrong with it! 
It was replaced with a very nice 2.2 CDX (W plate, facelift) which I just didn't bond with.

[jimac]

Has to be the Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Merc 3.0 V6 Diesel.  It just seemed to "fit" with me.  Comfortable, quick and well appointed.  I got it new in 2006 and had it for 3 years, but it had to go when the lease ended and I no longer had a job.

Bloody thirsty for a diesel, mind!

[bigboykarl]

hard....but narrowed it down to 2......volvo 740 gle i did over 100k miles in it always comfortable reliable and would still be running now if a top plastic radiator hose hadn't split and boiled my head on the m6....
  rover vitesse 2.7 used to get the speedo right off the clock past and indicated 150 mph on a private road only  ..handled like a barge though but once took me from london to birmingham,manchester x2 ,liverpool,glasgow,newcastle x2 ,bedford and cambridge and back to london in 15 hours
