Without a doubt my current car.
My Datsun 240Z, it was leaps and bounds ahead of my MG Midget, My first car,
150BHP appeared massive and just loved 2nd-3rd gear changes, I was obsessed with it at the time, won best restored at The Autoglym interclub Concours, I even used to polish the brake pipes, sad I know!! Sold it for a 911 as some of you know, but would still love one in my garage, to polish

Def my Z4Mc
First car was a clio at 17 ragged the nuts off it and its electrics were awful but a fun car and cost nothing. Second was a 57 mini cooper at 19, loved that bad boy! Third car was the 320si WTCC loved it like a mini M3 but it was as thirsty. Bought it as I got my first job at 21 then got fed up of the performance for fuel consumption and got the Z4Mc at 23 and it will be very hard to beat I think.. Also week before went halves on a cooper S with my mum thats a great motor too.

Like buzyG, has to be my old Fiat coupe. They are such carachterful cars with quirks and speed in equal measure. I drove one again earlier this year and it felt comical with all the turbo lag and big lumps of torque 
Heres my old Silver 'coop'
5 Cylinder inline = Best engine note EVER. Miles better than my Z4M

I've loved every car I've owned and always think my current one is the best. From my first car - a brown Austin Allegro to the brand new Jaguar XF S I had before my ///M. I can honestly say though I've never felt like I do now about a car so far into its ownership. Can't see me parting with it for years. Just so much fun, both everytime I floor it or drop the roof. Doing both is simply heaven.
Had to be my 2nd car as a young 20 yr old...mk 2 1275 cooper s, Aldon tune 1/2 race engine. Loads of fun and very rapid for the time, used to drive it like I'd stolen it!
My 1st car was a tuned 1967 cooper mk 1.
Must admit the z puts a smile on my face every time I drive it like that used to.

I'm 21 so my car history isn't as impressive as i'd like BUT i've had;
Polo GTI 6n2 "01"
BMW 318 E46 "03"
Mini Cooper S "05"
ZED Coupe "08"
The top dog being the ZED of course but the car I had most fun with was probably my first car, just ragged it senseless for a year and never a days trouble! a lot like my first proper girlfriend which was around the same time!

Great cars,I have a 1985 Gti locked away for sunny days. Shall never sell it even tho I hardly ever use it. Wish I kept pics of my old cars.Jembo said:The first series MK2 16v Golf GTi - one of he most predictable & forgiving cars for braking & handling in wet or dry I've ever driven
I think it must now be in car heaven after what I put t through in the late 80's & early 90's
