Favourite car I've owned had to be my first car which was a Mini GT. It was old and things regularly fell off it but I loved it.

Pretty much driven unexciting things since then but tomorrow I'm picking up my new car a Mini Countryman Cooper D All4 business edition

Home converted Transit campervan was a memory maker (no, not Fab related!), but as a car my fave was a Rover 800 Vitesse Sport. It was fucking massive, nicknamed the Starship Enterprise (it was white) it was a 3 door, turbo charged flying machine. Just a shame I killed it (blew head gasket) in less than six months and had to get rid

First car was a gold Rover Metro Vanden Plas with brown interior and a huge exhaust, it cost me £150.

Most of my cars after were equally appalling, Ford Granada, rover 25, Renault clio, fiat punto plus a few others.

Now have a Renault Megane RS Renaultsport, had some work done and now puts out 340hp. Makes me smile when I drive it.

Of the many I've owned the one that I wish I hadn't sold was my 1961 Series 2a Land Rover.

I took her to Denmark with me when I worked on a farm out there in the mid eighties, then brought her back and did my courting in her, it was then I found out that the roof leaked that side , obviously didn't put my then girlfriend off as we later married, and still are.

I part exchanged the Land Rover for a mint condition 1977 two door Range Rover which a tree fell on a week later in the October 1987 storms.

Bah!.

My first car, a big blue Hillman Hunter. My friends called it the Springsteen Machine. It had "Springsteen" on a sunstrip across the back window and "Born to Run" on the driver's door.

It also led to the best advice my dad ever gave me: "You have a car, or you have money." He was right, because I stopped commuting and got rid of a car, took a job for half what I was making before and saved more money.

Had a mark 1 Skoda Fabia VRS. Loved it. Took it on track days around Silverstone and Croft. Miss it. Such an underrated motor. Used to get questioned about it by blokes in forecourts. Now have a Smart ForTwo. Actually more fun to drive. Like a Go-Kart on the roads! Always challenge a larger motor at the lights. Get some thumbs up for it as well.

Got a race-license. Nice to see a car thread here.

Yeah, you need to be quick off the marque with low mileage MX5's. They tend to be second cars and owners are generally not too fussed, especially if the MOT and/or the tax is due. For a Mark 2, the CO2 emission is higher so the tax is more expensive than for the Mark 3.

I sold my 99,300 miles Mark 2.5 to a small dealer that specialised in semi-collectable and classic cars for £1k. Not bad for 53 plate. It was Sunlight Silver and I still think it looks better than the Mark 3.

My favourite car was my Renault Clio (2002). It was so quirky, the electrics finally died but for months it was a lottery what you would get if you switched on the heater for example... the radio would come on.

The only thing that comes anywhere near to it now is my current Ducati motorbike..............and the top end on that is slower.

BMW 3.2 CSL was a blast but too valuable to use outside of fine summer days. Left it to appreciate for a few years then passed it on.

Delta Integrale HF-Evo1. Brilliant driving experience but needed regular attention especially if a daily driver. Expensive if you not a garage monkey and dont nip problems in the bud.

BMW 3 Series D3 Alpina. Great reliability, economy plus all the performance you need. Better all round car than the previous two just not as desirable in sporting motor circles.

Best fun, drive and running of all would be a Mazda Mx5 mk1 1600. Dont really need to slow for bends beyond off throttle and happy to be revved like a demon. They're good until you go on a demon shopping trip.

My favourite would have to be the Short Wheel Based MkII Transit, 1.6 petrol, 4 speed and hand painted in blue Hammerite.

The reason I have such fond memories for this vehicle is because not only was it my band waggon and impromptu campervan but it's also where I first had sex with Nita

This is exactly why i have a type R

On the motorway it can be reasonable at around 30mpg. But still ridiculously fun when taking it through the Rev range.

A focus ST or similar would of put me in the same boat with fuel costs

"I've just had to change mine. Got a new job so I now have to commute 50 miles a day starting in a few weeks.

Renault Megane RS250 was what I had but it's not at economical, struggle to get 20mpg.

Picking up BMW 330D at the weekend, lovely car but not as fun to drive.

Just can't justify spending that much on fuel.

This is exactly why i have a type R

On the motorway it can be reasonable at around 30mpg. But still ridiculously fun when taking it through the Rev range.

A focus ST or similar would of put me in the same boat with fuel costs "

Mine isn't 250 though

it's 342hp. It's all a and b roads on the commute so I'll just end up spanking it every day. Even on the motorway I struggle to get 30mpg.

"My Mini Cooper. It was like a go kart. "

Mind you, I just got my new VW Scirocco GT Black on Wednesday which I absolutely love so far but I had to drop it back off at the showroom this morning for a few issues with it.

I’ve had a few cars myself, currently on a Range Rover which is probably my second favourite that I’ve opened, it’s fantastic for comfort and general driving.

bthe car I miss most is my BMW 330D that car was just fantastic, comfortable, easy to use entertainment system, good mpg and it could move when you put the foot down!

I’m already spending at least £12 per day to go to work in my civic, pretty much every other hot hatch would be even more and be totally unviable.

I’m eying up the new type R this summer I think, again it’s got reasonable mileage which is a big factor for me....I just refuse to get a diesel

I just can't justify spending over £3k a year in fuel when I can do it for less than half that.

My commute to work now is only 2 miles.

"The scooby didn't last long... selling already!

Petrol power just isn't like it used to be

It’s a Subaru! What did you expect.

You need to carry a spare everything in the boot to own one

It's fun to drive... but not as much fun watching the fuel gauge dropping faster than the temperature gauge rise! Haha

My all time favorite car that I owned was a 1974 Mustang. It was orange with alloy wheels, a big V8 and loads of power. I had to sell it when I went into the Navy, and I regret that to this day :/

Either my Mini Cooper or my BMW 130. Both were little rockets.

I do like my current car but I haven’t had it long enough to get that attachment yet.

Can you complete a journey in an Alpha without it breaking down?
