Best car you've owned?

The old 'Bond Buggy' (Orange 3 wheeler) - superb fun vehicle

the square empty head is back in town !!!!! ha ha

 

Rover 600, on my 3rd now, reliable as fu.. . Told by an AA man, they're "bulletproof". Sadly didn't do them after 99.

 

Toyota Hi Lux pick up.

Unbustable.

As featured on Top Gear etc etc

Now use Toyota Hi-Ace vans for the same reason.


Most fun car was a 1970 Mini Cooper but that is another story.......

 

1970s Mini Coopers were great,but you had to put your coat over the seat back & steering wheel otherwise the seat bashed the back of your legs when you were shaggin'.

 

Just get out in the open air

 

The old memory(apart from other things)ain't what it used to be, but I'm sure that it was too cold & wet to do it out side.B-)

 

Matra Simca Bargheera.
Fibreglass body, mid engined, two twin choke Webers, three seater.

 

Utlima Sports - Kit car I built with Rover V8 engine, sold it after a year as it was a bit too difficult to use
Best vehicle I've owned was a motorcycle though, Motoguzzi S3. Got my eyes on Lavada Jota

 

Hmmm that dates you - must be a seventies biker originally? started on a FS1E, then a Kwacker 250? then a 400 four maybe?

 

although Japanese machines were/are 'disposable', a Honda 400 four was a highly regarded machine of it's time

 

...and the worst car was a brand new ( 1992) VW Golf GTI. It was so unreliable that after numerous breakdowns in six months and many electrical failures VW took it back.

 

Yeep very much a seventies Biker - rather a serial buyer/seller from age of 18 to about 25. I think I got through
Honda CB175
Dresda Triton 650 (bought in a fit of madness, sold after 3 months)
Suzuki T500
Suzuki GT750K - water cooled, purple, twin drums at front - worth a fortune now if I had kept it)
Kawasaki Z900
Honda GT750 4 cylinder
Dresda GT750 (bought Dresda frame and crashed Suzuki GT750 water cooled and built bike)
Moto Guzzi 750 S3 - best bike ever owed
Yamaha 750 Shaft drive
Gave up biking when Yamaha wasnt used for 6 months - got soft and did not like getting wet.

Ideal bkie would have been a bright red MV Augusta 750 America - remember when this was about 5k - could have just afforded it then, now expect they are silly money . So its a 4k Jota to rediscover my youth. Only trouble is I've got a house to build first. When its complete I might treat myself.

 

I remember the Benelli 750 Sei..Honda CBX 100..and the Kawasaki Z1300.. etc

crazy machines for crazy times

 

ps

CBX 1000

 

had a few Monkey Bikes too - before they became trendy.

 

Austin Montego 1.6 L, 165,000 nearly trouble free economical miles, resplendant in two tone white and grey.
