Off Topic Favourite Car

It's 10.55pm in Atlanta and I'm bored. Anyway I got to thinking about what was my favourite car when I was a youngster (one in my conceivable future and not a super car) and my absolute favourite was the Ford Capri 2.8i

What was yours?

 

I would love a Nissan Leaf and do drive one at work. They have fantastic acceleration from a standing start and very comfortable.

 

for me it had to be my XR3i, loved that car and had it not been nicked i may well have kept it.

 

My first car was a Vauxhall Viva. It used to struggle to get up Houghton Cut, unless I had a running start, like, say from Durham!
Loved it though!

Prefer my SLK now though.

 

My first car was a Peugeot 205 GTI which I loved. Best car was either the TT Quattro convertible (I know it's a bit hairdressy) or the Golf GTE which I have now which is fantastic to drive.

 

Ya loon. Ya may as well walk.



I used to love my Renault 5turbo.
Piece of French **** hardly ever worked. But when it did, it was topper. **** disneyland gay rides. Put your foot down and scream and pray.

 

Wiki says 172km, 107mls, on a full battery!

 

I'd rather employ an 8ft cage fighting beast to kick me to where I want to go, than drive a Corbynmobile like a Prius.

Only radgy women should own a Prius or a Leaf.

 

I'd divorce my wife if she suggested that owning a car like that would make any difference to the world.

My mate lives out in the middle east, he drives a massive Ford truck, it does about 7 mpg but it only costs him £6 to fill his tank up. Winner.

 

That Ford Capri is outstanding by the way Horden.

 

I swapped my renault turbo for a week with an old mate for his 2.8i.

Proper **** me up. Thought it was gonna take off. Proper mentalist car.

 

Ari Vatanen at Knocksharry in IOM in 1983, skip to about 1:50 to see what near death looks like, if he doesn't save that he's going into a concrete gate post at well over 100mph

 

good video, the spectators at those events are absolute fruit cakes.

 

Lol, I watch stuff like that quite often

 

they just seem to stand in what i would call an accident waiting to happen spot, good entertainment watching them rally cars, but you would expect them to stand somewhere safe, not on a bend with a rocket hurtling at you at 100+ miles an hour!!

 

Since the mid 70s that's mainly all my driving life.
I have had numerous new cars
Mainly I drove passats or golfs for many years.
I always wanted an Audi A4 but found the a bit too expensive
Now I have a ford Kuga

 

Wtf is a ford kuga?

 

Yeah, there's a lot of nuggets who just spoil it for everybody else. Usually the safety car should move them, before the stage opens, but they just move back.

Thrill seekers, often end up as mush, then their family blames the driver.
