I'd like to know the best car you've ever driven yourself... and to make it fun, also the worst...

In my category: "The privilege was mine":

The C70 2.4 T - cabrio.... sweeet on a hot summer day...

And the BMW 5 3.0 i - a beast, but dressed as a gentleman...

Image


In my category: "Next time? There will never ever be a next time....":

The lada i-dunno-what's-it's-name... Big piece of junk...

Image


So, dazzle me... What did you drive up until now?

This one is though because the nicest car I have ever "drove" as in down the road actually drove is my 1969 Chevrolet Camaro 350.

Best, e39 BMW M5 all 400BHP of it!  ;D

Worst, my 318i when a spring broke mid bend @ 80MPH!

But, not forgetting my old XR3i that turned out to be two stolen ones crudely welded together, no wonder it "crabbed" down the road!  :o

In my case, I nominate Scania as the best truck I've driven, IVECO wins the prize for the worst!

Hmm best on the road was a Ferrari 328GTS, on the track a single seat Formula Ford race car, and rallying a Triumph TR8.
Worst, well it has to be the Trabant 501, but I still love them! Or my wifes Polski Fiat, which was an upholstered rollerskate which seemed to have similar acceleration and braking techniques as Fred Flintstones car!

Worst: my grandmother's 85 chevrolet celebrity...rusted all over the place adn the idle speed is turned up so bad it's justmessed up...take your foot off the brake and in a second or two you are doing 30MPH without touching the gas...

Best: I would have to say My grandfather's lovingly restored 1937 Ford... ;-) flat-head v-8 about 60H.P. 3 speed on the floor with a top speed of around 30 miles an hour within reason...not a spot of rust anywhere, mint condition original brownish red color that was standard for it.. to drive it now brings back memories of being a kid and having him take us for rides in his cars.. :-)

Close second to best: grandpa's 48 willy's jeepster convertible 3-speed on the column, 4 cyl. flathead...with the easiest clutch pedal.. ;-)

while i am still only learning to drive i have had my hands on a couple of cars. Best 2005 Ford Taurus in the US, it only  had 3500 miles on it when we got it from the rental company and my dad agreed to let me drive it for a short while :o
Worst, vauxhall corsa it had a very light clutch and having switched to that from a ford fiesta which was rather heavy, i just couldnt stop stalling it, plus there was little room in it

best: Peugeot 406 2.5 TDi estate with almost all the options
worst: Golf IV first batch... not that the car is bad, it's just me that doesn't fit in it

@Omag: the Lada is a most likely a Lada 2107

It takes great skill to stall a car... so how do you recover from them?

Just kidding...


;D

Nose down, opposite rudder and increase power... oh no that is when you push it off the cliff ;D
