Mine was a 69 Chevelle Malibu two door hardtop. It had a 300 horse 350, with a turbohydro. Put it in drive and hit it and it would shift at 56 and 96. And with the 2.56 rear end it got good mileage on the interstate. It was a real car with a frame and of course rear wheel drive. What I liked about it was the fact it was a hardtop and you could see out of it. Unlike the new POS tin cans we have these days with their gun slit windows!!!!

For me it's a toss up between the V8 RX7 I built back in '93 and had for 5 years. nearly 400 hp, 1.2Gs laterally, a killer autocross car and a pretty decent drag car, too.

And my daily driver for the last 5 years, my BMW E38 740iL:

Two completely different cars, with completely different missions, but I like them both. Iv'e had a lot of cars I liked out of the hundred plus I've owned, but these two are at the top so far. Maybe my Mustang GT will make it in there as time goes on.

Oh, how to decide? lol. All of my cars have been cheap and nasty in most people's eyes, but I loved most of them ;)

I liked the SportKa I had, although only because it was the newest one I've owned, and even then, it wasn't actually in my name (the ex's!).

I think my favourite was my 1983 Saab 900. It done me proud in the snow we had unexpectedly several years ago when all other cars were slipping all over the place, and was built like a tank, too! I only had it for a couple of months though :(

I like my current car, too (1994 Ford Fiesta). Mainly because it's the only car in recent years that's actually been MINE! It's reliable and just keeps going!

My Vauxhall VXR8 without a doubt! The Audi comes a close second - it has been 100% flawless, still feels like new, had a lot of abuse, goes very well, good on fuel, comfortable, moderately cheap etc etc.

Can't think of anything to replace either of them :)

1969 Jaguar 420G, owned it for 15+ years. Toured Europe in it, all the way from Northern England to, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria and down into Italy! The car was superb, in all those years it never failed it's annual MOT, was totally reliable, and simply, it never missed a beat!!

I sold it to a gentleman in Spain in 1999,....big mistake! ...I've wanted it back from the day I sold it!
Regards F-H

My is my souped up 1966 Mustang that I got when I turned 16. This car is a beauty and turns heads everywhere I go even today. With all the after market parts that I got from Shifters Galore everyone looks when they hear my car goin down the road.

Hello - I used to own a FORD explorer and I really like its performance. What I like about it is it's very comfy to drive as well as its size. I got it all set up including the plates. I just love the way it looked and I had a pretty good time with that car. :)
