Re: Favourite Car
Big Ron, starting up is easy. You just insert a big handle into the round hole in the front of the car and give it a vigorous turn with all your strength. It may not start first time, so you may have to repeat it until it does. A word of warning , it may kick back and it could hurt your wrist.

Re: Favourite Car
1976 Honda Civic, so nippy in London traffic (lived in the City then) - lovely machine
But I'd really liked to have owned a Maserati Quatroppe. I was given a lift just once in Italy by a supplier and fell in love (with the car, not the supplier
) immediately.

My fav car ( Ive had over 20 motors), was a sky blue Ford Escort mk3 Ghia.
Felt more comfy than any armchair, and drove sweetly

Re: Favourite Car
E30 BMW M3 EVO arguably the best car BMW have ever made and now cost as much as a flat to buy.
My future car will be an Aston Martin DBS.
My ultimate car would be an Aston Martin DB5

Re: Favourite Car
Now your taking sense for once!!!
I've a MK1 GTI which I did a full restoration on last year and whilst I've only done about 200 miles in it since then, I'm always stopped in the street at lights etc.
Truly great cars.

Re: Favourite Car
Reliant Supervan as per Del Boy ( Please note this in not a Reliant Robin, I should know I had 2 of them ). Took me as far as Slovenia ( Jessenice ). Was always cruising. Used to get about 70 miles/gallon on a long run & a tail wind. I once had 7 girls in it ( at the same time ). The Robins were more sophisticated LOL, but the Supervan was my first. Robins took me to: Connemara, Cattolica, San Sebastian and Brittany. Also there was nothing remotely super about a Supervan. But it does go, just ask Nervous Nerise.

Re: Favourite Car
1989 Saab 900 turbo convertible.
Just unique, and built like a tank. Handled like it was on rails.
8 years as a daily driver before I let it go.
Would love an Alfa Romeo 4c, but for now will have to settle for my battered 156
