your favourite car - Page 3

My favourite out of my 3 cars I've owned is tough as far as good times and memories go. My Mk4 Escort was my first car and that holds so many memories, so does my old Laguna thinking about it. As far as design, quality and comfort, 75 wins hands down.

My 1987 3.6 Jaguar XJ40 - pure motoring bliss

The car turned heads wherever it went, despite me only paying £1280 for it

I drove it for 3 years and loved every single day of driving it. One time the battery failed and I had to jump start it outside a crowded shopping centre, and people came over and asked me if I needed any help - that never happened with my mondeo :lol:

C reg 1986 Sciroco GTX! heavily modified beast untill the local **** smashed it up!!

It would have to be my old Capri 2.8, i still snigger to myself when i think about it

I would say it spent most of it time side ways,sometime i wanted it to , but most of the time it wanted to.

That car is responsible for my V6 urge. Its costly but fun

My old MGF VVC..... I really bonded with that car. Was gutted when she was driven away. I love my 75 but it just isn't the same.

The F was about a raw unrefined driving experience.
