    Different cars for different reasons:

    Audi UR Quattro Turbo - my first car with abs, my first turbo, and my first 4wd - still the best sounding car I've ever had.

    Nissan Skyline R32 GTR V-Spec II - a relatively standard car at only 360bhp, but it had Nismo R-Tune suspension and was the best handling car on a smooth surface I've ever had.

    Probably me mate's brothers R33 with 550bhp, We all went to Southport and he had a whitey when we got there (to much waccy baccy). I 'convinced' him to let me drive it back. I melted it all the way back to Liverpool on the country lanes - amazing!
    Also back in '85 I owned an '81 Colt Lancer Turbo (Pre-cursor to the Evo), at the time nothing could touch it (including plod), strangely it would pull real hard to 130 then bam! the limiter would come on, not 1 mph over 130.
    No Pics of mine but almost exactly the same as this one. Awesome in it's day.

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    i've drove a couple of BMW's and they are really nice, but i love a mk5 fiesta, im on my 3rd one now, and its quick, looks good, has a fine interior and doesn't kill petrol or my wallet.

    this is the one i've got now, only done 33k the other day FFSH, and its great.

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    its nt realls a sports car or anthing but my mate has got a 1.8 16v clio turbo running bout 270BHP its good fun to drive and be in cause no one expects a rattly looking clio to leave most things at the light and also chace lambos etc up 2 140 lol on private roads obv.

    But when i got to drive my escort for the 1st time in 4 years it was the best thing in the world made me happy and i like the feeling of the older ppl stoping and stearing can allways tell the older ppl that wew into cars and the ones that wernt.

    One that stands out most in my mind would be when i was a lot younger @chelsea crise and i got to have a go of a proper RUF 911 Turbo....had a pukka plate as well A13LAG

    A BLAG Remember almost losing it off the roundabout as it came on boost!!

    Loved driving my old Cortina though, everything about it, the ride,the smell,Cant wait to get one back on the road!!

    No doubt about it. The best drive I've had was my Esprit.

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    I cant beleive ive never thought of a rotary capri!

    The best car ive ever driven was my A reg RX7, (till this happend)




    A four foot dent in the front - and it still drove fine, not sure how



    I realy wish id kept the engine from it now, it was a brilliant engine and would realy make the capri go some.

    best car i've ever driven was a renault 5 gordini,

    absolutley terrifying on a tarmac stage, got taken out in a passenger run to show me the route, was given a shot at a moderate pace then got taken out again and shown how it should be done,

    all thanks to my dads boss

    I have neve driven any supercars. But the most impressing motor has to be the new Focus RS.

    Either that or my -97 Transit Van That N/A diesel pulls like a train trough the rev range.

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    Mondeo 2.2 TDCI Titanium with 183BHP and 390 ft/lb has to be one of the nicest road cars I've had the pleasure of driving/owning.

    My 08 Legacy Diesel is now well and truly run in, and its a pleasure, though I do miss the ponies that the Mondeo had.

    Never driven anything really exotic, though if anyone would lend me a 6R4 for the day, that'd be the top of my list. I've driven an Escort Cosworth 4x4, at Silverstone and around the lanes, but it didn't really 'turn me on' that much.

    I've had a passenger ride in a Focus WRC driven by Francois Duval around Donington, and a Focus RS driven by Ralph Firman, and those were some of the most enjoyable laps I've had the pleasure of being in a car with 'pro' drivers.

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    The best care I've ever driven... hmmm let me see.

    300hp MR2 Turbo.... No. no way.
    750hp Supra Turbo..... no. dog.
    500hp 300ZX..... YUK! evil nasty horrid laggy thing.
    450hp R32 Skyline GTR - close. Real fun. Loved it.

    It has to be my 16v Belmont. The first time I took it out on track and opened the regulator and let it have a full head of steam, it was a case of "Man, I gotta get me one of these" (like Will Smith in Independance Day). Then I looked around, I do got me one of these!!

    (now look for the worst car you've ever driven)

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    So far I think it's got to be my old ek9 type r just for the feeling and the handling
    and most of all the vtec lol

    fastest so far my skyline r32 but it's a bit slippy when on boost so can't really open it up round the corners

    dream car 04 s/cl 65 amg v12 twin turbo. I really want one lol

    but I'm hoping all that will change with a nice yb mk2

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    best car i've driven is a mk3 toyota supra 3.0 i turbo automatic, was my brothers and was just such a comfy fast smooth car, i could cruise 1000 miles all day at 120mph in pure silence, so nice and smooth.

    nicest car i've driven was a 1970's rolls royce silver cloud in imaculate condition, was abit nurveus driving that though, very big.

    but the mosty fun i have ever had or possible ever could have behind the wheel was my old 2.0 laser capri, what just so much fun, you could give it endless abuse and it did exactly what you wanted it to do but with the odd cheaky surprise, sooo much fun
    its not dead till it's buried!
