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.

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 :D ) immediately.

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

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.

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.

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
