My Ford Puma 1.7 I loved that car and it handled so well. I had it for 14 years from new. I was the only owner it ever had and it never broke down on me.

I've never had an exotic car, All I care about is the colour, the reliability and 'Can I get the dogs in the back?'

The best bird puller I owned was a 1972 Lotus Europa ( JPS colours ), Problem was there was no back seat !.
Favourite car was a 1970 Ford Capri 3000 GT XLR, loads of muscle, but it didn't like going around corners to fast.

Woof I've had two Ravs, loved them. But the one that was a bit special was my Hillman Hunter GLS with the Holbay engine. I was told it was the fastest thing on the road in 3rd gear at that time and it was in fantastic condition, inside and out.

I had a Renault Megan Scenic, in the 2003, as a company car for a couple of years and when the job ended, so did the car....a great loss, as I thought it was smashing....it had TWO run roofs !

[tamborine]

Dad bought me the ugliest car ever, a Mayflower. No chance of pulling in that :(

[MargoTester]

An old Morris 1100 I bought to get me to and from work (OH had a decent car) it was British Racing Green but had been pre owned by somebody who had exotic taste who had decked it out with sheepskin front seats, and carpeted the foot wells in mustard and brown with fancy pink and green rosebud covers for the back seats and sun visors! Needless to say I got rid of all these. I loved that old car which cost me £75 and stood me in good stead for 3/4 years for my journeys.

[ummmm]

Vauxhall Astra. I upgraded to an Astra sport years later...it was a present from my OH.

Best fun on 4 wheels (at the time) mid 70's MGB soft top, loved that car.

[Garaman]

Mine was a Ford Sierra, but it did have a Cosworth engine in it. It was fantastic to drive unless it rained. That car was nicked as was its predecessor, a Ford Escort RS 2000. The police reckoned that they would have been stolen to order and out of the country the same day.

[Baldric]

Had an RS2000 after the MGB, it was great in a straight line but didn't like corners.
