1 The Top 3 Cars You Have Owned. on Sat 25 Apr 2009, 9:47 am

First Place - BMW 325i SE, Plate 1989 (M Tech Version) - Probably the best car BMW have ever produced. The E30 is now still a must to drive & own in my book. I am forever looking to own another one. Mine was an auto, but my god it shifted, and that sport button was scary. You would hit the button and be instantly forced into your seat as you accelerated. 0 - 60 was done in 6 seconds. It would accelerate all the way to 140+ mph, and still feel there was more. I used to rev it at the lights and it would rock from side to side. I loved travelling through terraced streets as the noise was phenomenal and spine tingling as its sound bounced of the buildings. The car had eveything you get on new cars knowadays, ABS, Heated seats, computer, etc. To look at it looked standard, apart from the M tech badge and the custom twin pipes out the back. I would recomend this car to anyone, but an excellent well looked after example is a must otherwise it could be expensive.

Second Place - Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec, Plate 2001 - I had this car from 3 year old. It only had 18k on the clock and was immaculate throughout. It was an excellent car to drive and the feel on the road was fantastic. It has been raved as one of the best cars Ford have ever produced and I agree. It was silver with the Zetec alloys. I added black 18" 5 spoke alloys that just added to it's look, unfortunatley I had to trade it in for one of my latest cars, the Mondeo when we had a second child as we needed boot space, feels like the worst thing I have ever done. Although the Mondeo is good car to drive.

Third Place - Vauxhall Vectra SRI 2.5 V6, Plate 98 - This one is another monster of power. It was an ex Metropolitan Police Car. It was an auto, with a scary sport button. In a straight line it was scary as you would drive upto 70mph with no drama or feel of any power then alls of a sudden the engine note would change and it would take off and keep going, very weired feeling to accelarate from 70 to 130+ mph quicker than you hit 70. Going round corners was where it let itself down, the back end would feel light and bouncy, so speed was a no no in that regard, even with traction control on. Just sold it recently having had it off the road for a while. It was loud and the engine would sound fantastic as the V6 burbled away, probably one of the best sounding cars I have heard.

Well there are my three, I would love to add an R34 GTR to that list one day. Big Grin

well im too young to have a car but here wud be my top 3 im gonna be realistic:

1. Mazda RX-8 2007- I love it because it seams to handle great and if you get the 230BHP model it is pretty fast its 0 - 60 is like 7 seconds and top speed is 149 MPH but on the down side it only does about 18 MPG.

2. Volvo C30 2009- Awesome car i love the looks of it its small and its a hatchback. i would love one of these because the top model has about 220 BHP and 0 - 60 in just over 6 seconds and a top speed of nearly 150 MPH and the MPG not too bad it does about 20.

3. Vauxhall Corsa VX-R 2006- Great looks and its an insane sounding car you gotta hear it when it revs. Its the top model Corsa its a realy small car its probally a compact and it has alot of BHP i dont know how much but i know its 0 - 60 is about 7.5 and thats not bad considering its a compact car and the top speedx is about 130 MPH becuase of the engine size. The MPG is about 22 or so so its not too bad on fuel.

Hpe u liked my fantasys lol at least their realistic

3. MG ZR160. Hot-hatch with a bit of go. This was the first/only car I bought new and boy did I enjoy it! On paper not a great set of wheels but, it would lick a boxter 2.5 of the all the way to 60 and it did ride on rails. I absolutely loved it and kept it for 5 years before flogging it for the corporate BMW 3 series (company car) with fully loaded up gadgets and more cows that a dairy farm!!!

2. Mini Mayfair - '83 C plate in oporto red. It's a mini, if you've had one you will understand Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin . It was my first car. I past my test in it and it was the car of my youth.

1. MG B, (old two-seater convertable) tucked away in my garage, come's out when the sun is shinning and always, always put's a smile on my face Big Grin

3. 2002 Punto 1.2 Active Sport. my 1st car, nippy in town, slow as hell on the mways and dual carriage ways lol
but as my 1st car, will always be there.

2. 2003 Alfa 156 1.8 Lusso. My current car. Very nice, quick or a 1.8 and sounds great, handles well, and loads of room. The interia is the best place to be, but lots of plans to come Big Grin

1. 2005 Stilo Schumacher GP 2.4 20v. My Pride and Joy. Fast, handled well, and even better once fettled with. was great on track after a few additions, and the Prodrive GP kit was a MASSIVE improvement over the standard Abarth's suspension setup. only 200 sent to the uk, and only about 50 of that 200 commisioned to use the Prodrive GP kit. So rare as, and painted in the Ferrari factory the same colour red as Schumachers 2004 F1 Car Big Grin lovely car, sounded great, quick too. dont take notice of the 2.4 selespeed abarth 0-60. this was a manual and lighter Wink

I have only had two cars in my life thus far.

1. 1990 Toyota Conquest 1300 12v 4speed 80hp lol. she served me well.
2. 1991 VW Caddy sports pickup 2.0L 16v. This is my current ride and one that i wont sell even if the price is right.

My dads toy that i played with when i was on school

1992 Opel T car Super Boss. This car was not sold in the UK as it was a production class race car here in ZA. Came out with a 2.0L 16v with 276 shrick cams and also LSD as standard. Boy racer car and also a gem to own in ZA.

I've only owned 3 cars, thankfully.

In reverse order:

3. A toyota Corolla (Sprinter) 1990 1.6L 16 valve.

2. A toyota Corolla (RSI) 1997 1.6 20valve. I have reason to believe that this
is still the fastest N/A factory standard 1600cc we have seen in South Africa.
It produces 115kw and got to a hundred kph in 7.71 seconds. I loved this car.

1. My beloved Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.9TDI, again, the fastest 1.9TDI (Factory standard) in South Africa. I've enhanced the software so this just makes it such a nippy car to drive. The bottom end power is such a pleasure to have, especially at high altitude.
