Need a wee hair more details about what you are looking for there, The.

small engine and that for insurance purposes :ph34r:

if i were to get the job i reckon i'd get something new. i like the new panda but would that be considered a girls car?

It looks very nice.

Whilst down "Sarth" for a week I collected a hire car from the Airport and got a free upgrade to one of the new Hyundai Coupe 2.7 V6. Although the marque lacks snob value I have to say it was one of the quckest things I have driven and handled like a dream. Down side was the radio which lit up like Blackpool illuminations. :blink:

An MG Maestro :ph34r: A surprisingly quick car - in a truly unique body style. :ph34r:

[Snee]

An old 4wd scout.

It rawked.

Looked a bit like this but more rugged. (http://4wheeldrive.about.com/library/uc/ucgraphics/amunoz.jpg)

The best car I have ever driven,was a Chevy (Chevette) at the age of 15.
The car was full of rust and the brakes were shite (I had to downshift and use the emergency brake) but it was beautiful!

I swiped my cousins keys,as she lie sleeping on the couch of my parents home.
I took it for a cruise in the country, and luckily managed not to kill myself (being only the second time I had ever driven a car)

I still remember the smell of her pine air freshener, stale cigarettes in the ashtray and
the scent of the lilacs by the lake, as I drove away from "home"...looking for adventure!

Maybe,not what you were looking for...but still the best car I have ever driven.
Thank you JPaul...for bringing back a fine memory indeed!

Peace bd

[Biggles]

Did you give her a wee bit of wellie Les.

I won't tell anybody. ;)

I felt it was my duty to ensure that it was adequately tested.
:blushing:

It appeared to be in full working order - especially the rather neat "is it automatic or manual gear lever thingy" . :shifty:


How I survived Hampshire's finest I do not know (although the M3 is more a parking lot than a road :dry: )

[TheDave]

thanks jp. i'll go do some research :shifty:

[TheDave]

i'm gonna look around, i just think it would be nice to have a new car with a working radio and no smoke smell :01:

i dont think ive been in a new car for years

[Chewie]

What sort of person rates a Montego or Maestro of any variety (please don't ask me to accept the MG badge is anything more than a logo) as one of their favourite drves?
Someone that hasn't driven a lot or cars? Possibly.

My favourite? Well, not the Escort MkI 1300 HLS, Cavalier MkI Sports Hatch, my current Nexia or my old guv'nor's Mercedes 230...
I really liked my Pug 205 GL. Stick-in-a-bucket gearstick and bent panelwork but the 1400cc XY type engine propelled the thing incredibly for a cheap runaround. The handling was unbelievable for a car like that and the steering had fantastic feel - it made me wonder what on earth a 1.9 GTI must be like!

[Keikan]

so different from out americano gas guzzlers

Hey...I got a Nexia....or should I say Astra with a different badge...(well mine would have a badge if some little toe rag hadn't nicked it ! :angry: )

Best car I have driven was this beautiful Dodge....during my time in the US

Best I've driven:

Chevrolet Corvette Convertable

http://www.clubcorvette.se/shanni93.jpg

Fun to drive but the suspension was too firm. I would never buy one.

[zeustke165]

The Best car that I've driven was a BMW M Roadster, Its my fathers car, damn thing takes off, you hit the rev limiter so fast in 1st gear, you really have to anticipate your 1-2 shift.

My favorite was my first car, now It seems most who've posted here are from europe so time to inject some american muscle... when I was 16 I had an '87 Pontiac Trans AM, it had a cracked engin block, so I built a new engine my self, took me a year to do it... when I was done I had a chevy 350 (5.7 liters) Pushing 395 H.P. and 425 pounds of torque. It was a brute, I actually gave my friend whiplash from the acceleration. I never lost a race with it, even againt the corvette of the time ('95). Fastest I had the car going was 165 MPH car still had good acceleration at that speed, but the aerodynamics made the car very unstable. It only however got 8 miles per gallon, so it was very expensive to keep going...

[mogadishu]

uh.. the go kart at summer camp.

i could get a liscence in a couple days when i turn 17..but its pretty pointless whre i live.

[manker]

I don't like cars much and I don't even own one anymore, I lease them. People keep asking me about the engine and things, don't know much about that.

The one I liked the best was an SJ413 that I had from when I was 18 til I graduated. It was on a 'C' plate so already quite old when I had it but it never broke down. Also there was a guy who owned her sister that used to park just down the street from me - one letter different on the registration plate, bless.

http://zuki.melkebart.com/105-0522_IMG.jpg

For those that like technical stuff. SJ413 stands for Suzuki Jeep 4 wheel drive 1.3 litre.

I didn't know how to put it into 4 wheel drive, I mostly just used it to go to lectures :unsure:

[TheDave]

i'm not one for trolling but european>american

even the fords are better in europe

[manker]

i'm not one for trolling:lol: :D

[TheDave]

:lol: :D
STFU

[Yogi]

A porche 911. :01: :devil:

From Herz rentacar Schiphol Airport to Herz Amsterdam Centre.

20 km. of WOW!!!! :D

Drove a lot of cool cars those days, hiking for Herz, getting Dutch cars back

from abroad.


Best car i owned............ :blushing:

12 years old, but spinning like there was no tomorrow.

Only the color.........

Now why would you try to start that argument up? There's no point, there are different schools of thought on what a car should be, and America and Europe are simply on opposite ends, You may enjoy quick steering response, high revving engines with close ratio gear boxes, and I prefer sheer acceleration, masive tourque, and tire spinning power, to each his own, no reason to get into a debate...

[Snee]

I might like an interior that doesn't look as if it was cobbled together from mismatched pieces of plastic.


V8s are cool tho', it's a big part of why I liked the scout.
But sometimes the detail finish on some parts of the car isn't much to long for on american cars.

And the fuel consumption is seldom something to celebrate on proper muscle cars.


EDit: having said that, the car of my dreams is still a superbird :wub:

[Lilmiss]

I worked in a Citreon and Peugeot parking lot, so I was lucky enough to drive/rally round some incredible cars. :w00t:

Theres was one, I thinks it was called a 307 coupe, or something along the lines of. She was beautiful, but I had a tendency to bang my head when getting out.
We worked out a genious way of unblocking the radio's, and then having a lil test drive around the dirt track. :devil:

Those Citreon c15 vans should be taken off the road. They are pure evil.
FIAT panda's = Fix It Again Tomorrow. :meh:
I really liked the Picasso for comfort and gadgets. Weirdly enough though, I find the Boxer van quite pleasant to drive.

Nothing compares to a lil Rover Mini though. :wub:
I'd never, ever swap her. :no:

[TheDave]

i prefer using less petrol and making making less carbon

[TheDave]

Ignore cawkbreath btw, he's just a troll.

:wub:

[Lilmiss]

So stick to a go cart all your life. :unsure:


I'm getting a cat in her, when I can afford it.

[zeustke165]

So you would go for

McLaren F1
Ferrari Enzo
Porsche Carrera GT
McLaren Mercedes SLR
Aston Martin DB9

or the Ford GT

any one of the above would fit your bill.

Ignore cawkbreath btw, he's just a troll.

None of them, I'd go for a Dodge Viper. It mean its angry and you dont want to piss it off... and maybe then for the money I'd save from not getting the other cars, I's send it out to Hennesy to have one of their venom kits installed...
Not to say I dont appreciate a beatutiful car, I would gladly drive an Aston Martin DB9 Volante, to me it's one of the most beautiful cars ever, but that would be a car I'd be afraid to drive, but the viper on the other hand just screams deep rooted aggression that you just have to let out, and trust me I would every day...

Couldn't afford the upkeep (aspiring beyond my means has been the story of my life), but always felt royal whilst esconsed in the cabin.
Truly beautiful body, too.

@zeustke 165....
I think your speedo was a trifle optimistic.
