2nd XR3 that was fun, apart from going through 3 carbs.... orange too :)

3rd BMW 325i that was fun!!! i miss that car in the snow.... slide that back end out baby!!! woooo hoooo

4th Escort 1.8.. i know i know, what did i do that for??? looked ok, BEFORE the ex crashed it twice... into the very SAME wall!!!!

after that i've had like 20 cars, company ones..... the Lexus was real nice, i must admit though, the celica (black) was real nice... untill i wrote it off at 130MPH !!!! one good thing.. it was safe... lol... well, the boss wasn't too happy LOL

so, therefore the Capri was the worst.... or was it the XR3... hmmmmm

2nd Cortina Estate - improved my love life

3rd Chevette GLS - pass everthing but a garage

4th Same as above

5th Chevette estate- crap

6th Chevette estate - crap also

7th Chevette estate - hit a tree in Northern Italy and left it there.

8th Astra 1300 estate - went like a rocket

9th Cavalier 1600 - nice

10th TR6 rotted like a pear but would pass any MG

11th Cavalier 2000 sri - fast

13th Rover 3500 - very smooth

14th Astra GSI - 150mph but broke down every day, got rid of it as quicky as i could

15th Jaguar XJS 5.3 - pass every thing except a petrol station 8mpg

16th Volvo 850 - best car i had at this stage

sounded great, 20valve sticker on rear always confused people (it was a 5 Cyl)

17th omega 2.5 cdx estate - crap, broke down on first day and nearly everday after

18th Astra GTE- great pocket rocket

19th Belmont SRI (wife complainted about 2 door GTE)

20th Merc E200 - great looks with twin headlights but no go in it (2ltr)

21st Volvo s40 t4 - Great for wiping the smile off Vectra sri's drivers

22nd 306 1.9 tdg - smelly disel you can keep them

23rd 306 1.6 much better

24th 306 cabriolet so goodlooking still have it

25th LEXUS GS300 mk1 leggato - stripped down gs no sunroof etc etc.

26th LEXUS GS 300 mk2 Sport - all the looks no guts

27th LEXUS GS430 - now i like playing with BMW's and wipping the grin of their faces. But have to watch out for the M's as they are faster

If I take it steady 75-80 average 28mpg put my foot down and it averages 15mpg. But i love it (sad person realy)

What next? Don' t know Yet, except it will be another Lexus. My brother is on his second GS,

My dealer loves our family 5 cars in 3 years, is that a record?.

fun car

[Monster-Mat]

dam that sceptre was an ugly carhttp://www.teamlexus.co.uk/forums/images/regan.gif

[Shrek]

Hey! whats wrong with the Scepter. it was great in its day. 0 to 60 in 18 seconds top speed of 90.

It had leather and a telescopic steering columb. This was in the days when petrol was 25p a gallon!!!! :)

[Monster-Mat]

it may have been a good car...........but its still dam ugly

the metro was a good car in its day:o

[Monster-Mat]

i drove a twingo the other day....eeeeewwwwwww

:regan:

[simonskippy]

1st mk2 Golf CL 1.6 Diesel Turbo

2nd mk3 Golf 1.9 TDi

3rd Lexus IS 200 SE

Probably the MK3 Golf was the worst - the MK2 was legendary and the MK3 moved into the sensible car league - well apart from the VR6

[DaveEllen]

Crapi 1.3l..........sooooooooo slow but the only car I've ever sold for more than i bought it for..............

[@lpher]

1. '79Datsun Cherry GL (was already 'finished when i got it)

2. '69 Volvo 144 DL (one owner...imaculate condition)

3. '84 Volvo 340 DL (real crappy! renault engine)

4. '88 Ford Escort Nordic (its a ford)

5. '91 Toyota Celica Gti (current car)

and my sixth car will be either a

IS200 or an mk1 GS300.

@lpher

[Chris.S]

Heres my last 3 cars

1st my Corolla SI

[Chris.S]

[Chris.S]

[Claire G]

Oooh, worst cars...these are pretty good contenders:

Mk 1 Ford Fiesta - the mechanic laughed so hard when I took it for an MOT, he wouldn't take the money to do it

Mk II Ford Escort (Yellow!) - Didn't 'do' starting. Has to park it on a slope to bail it out after it rained. When it got sunny, the carpets grew mushrooms!

G Reg Seat Ibiza GLX - 1st 'proper' car, sold it to get a deposit on a flat

Honda Prelude V-Tec (4th gen) - my hubbies car, still got.

The IS200 is DEFINITELY the best! :smilegrin:

[Steve]

i lnow how you feel with the mk2 escort.. used to have so much water in the foot well that when you breaked the water you to make a wave and sloped all over the dash!

The escort had a serious problem with rot in the inner wing...

fun car though... great on gravel tracks

[Chris.S]

They're my 3 latest cars some of the ones before like the Mk3 Escort,it was two tone green and completly rotten

[vic]

I have had loads of cars but the worst has got to have been a BMW 325i, boy was that car a dog! It broke down at least once a month & after owning it for a year I ended up spending about £5000 in servicing on it! I would never ever own one again!

Best cars:

Toyota MR2 Mk1...what a car looking to buy another one!

Toyota MR2 Mk2...good but not as much fun as the mk1

Mercedes 190E 2.6 Very smooth & reliable

present car IS200 sport...top car..needs more oomph though!
