What was your best ever car - not necessarily TVR

[CiderwithCerbie]

OK Thanks to Boss Cerbera we have all shed our shame by naming our first and usually embarrassing motor.
So what was the best thing you ever owned? Might be unexpected and depend what you used it for.

eg
1. Best Motorway muncher my Lexus GS300
2. Best Performance car and pose-mobile - Tuscan - WITHOUT ANY QUESTION (and the motor didn't blow til I sold it)
3. Best all rounder Mitsubishi VR-4 Galant Est. Gets family up & down to the Med, useful in all weather and complete 'Q' car when surrounded by Chav-hatches, esp in wet = 275bhp plus 4WD.
4. Most surprising fun - Citroen Ami 8 super, ugly as f***, but great little air cooled boxer 4 engine and weighs as much as box of tissues.

OK lads & lasses what u got? Choose your own category too!

Best sports car: Lotus Elise or Lotus Elan ('60's RWD version).

Does any other type of car matter?

[SharkyTVR]

Best all rounder: Mk2 Golf GTi 16v

I've had the pleasure of M5's M3's and RS4's as company cars but my fondest memories come from my 21 Turbo

Obvouisly not the best car ive had but certainly the fondest motoring memories.

I'll get my coat.

I've got to say my Audi A4 (1998), the most reliable (never broke), comfortable, satisfying workhorse I've ever driven.

I used to only empty the garbage from the passenger footwell when it started spilling over the seat!

The car just pulled and pulled, drank vegetable oil neat, didn't need new discs until 130000 miles, great on tyres, just superb all round.

R5T2. Absolutely stunning.

Lancia Delta Evo

reg no L203 SUB in pearl white, went like fu(k, made TVRs look like the most reliable cars in the world though

Most Comfortable - Mercedes CLK 230 Kompressor Conv

Hairiest Car - TVR Tuscan S

Most Boring Car - Vauxhall Chevette

My Favourite Car - TVR Tuscan S (only just)

Most Unreliable Car - TVR Cerbera 4.5

Previously owned car I would buy today if I had the money - Mercedes CLK 230 Kompressor Conv (only because TVR doesn't have a presence here yet!)

[2Munkys]

Mk2 Golf GTI

[Lord Elmo]

VW Corrado G60. In std form. Just fantastic. 150k. 1 Supercharger rebuild, but just perfect.

[kevinday]

Best all-rounder, family car and trans-continental cruiser - Audi A6 2.5Tdi Avant quattro.

Best 'lairy' motor - TVR SEAC

Best looking road car of all time - Ferrari 246GT (Dino), followed by E-type Jag, TVR Griffith and AM DB9

[bosscerbera]

Best all-rounder: Mercedes Benz 560SEL. The last of the great, engineered Mercs. If I had one car only, this would be it.

Fave car: E28 M5.. Just loved that car!!

also 1985 Mazda 323 1.3 given to me by my grandad when i was 17 and it was about 5 or 6 years old.

87'000 miles one owner (grandad) and beat XR2's in a drag race!! Brilliant!

[Plotloss]

A8 4.2 quattro Sport

Had it much longer than I should have for some reason.

Just fantastic.

[pistolar]

Lotus Carlton.... Amazing

[BIG GRF]

I have a particular soft spot for the Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI - a great drivers car and so much fun, especially around the bendy stuff.
