Whats the best car you`ve driven?

[Spiderman]

Me.........Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.

Thought 640bhp would be a bit of a handful but must say it was surprisingly docile. Grip was almost more amazing than the engine.Looks incredible outside,sounds immense but the inside more benefitting of a Punto! That engine`s torque is amazing,sounds incredible,15 minutes just wasn`t long enough.

Probably my Joss's GTA. Can't think of anything else special that I have driven, bar my friends Chim. It gave me a headache.

My TVR Griffith 500, Followed by Mitsubishi Evo 6 RS, Fiat coupe 20V Turbo and BMW 540i

[braddersR]

Lamborghini Gallardo ... 10 mins wasn't enough either

[bazza]

1979 Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

it wasn't just driving a car, it was an event.

And name another car that would have people waving at you in the street, and coming over to speak to you about it - which happened to me twice during the weekend I had it.
(Not counting the miserable petrol station attendee who said something grumpy about the 120 litre tank.)

[Squadrone Rosso]

Ferrari California in Maranello recently

[GhostyDog]

[LJ_GTA]

Ive not driven many cars but the more memorable 1's are-

Ferrari california

Formula renault/single seater

My GTA once i had the suspension sorted

Porsche caymen

An Audi S4 (4.2 V8 tiptronic jobby, just point it where you want to go & floor it )

Driving a gallardo soon aswell which should be good

Depends how you interpret best SM: But by your choice of transport how do you rate a '68 Stngray, or a Parisienne, or maybe a Mercury Commuter? : Thought so.

Quite. I drove a Citroen C6 a while back. Really nice.

[AutolussoSouth]

It is so hard to narrow down to just one car, as each one has its great points and its own character so I will list some of my favourites, I could go on and on and on and on but I don't want to bore you all!

One of my favourites is the 145 CL - Just a hoot, great engine, fun handling and still surprises many a boy racer and modern car, so for that alone it’s a legend!

1981 V8 Vantage - as above - an event!

E30 M3 - Great balance and great fun, the era just before BMW started to ruin it all and when M stood for Motorsport rather than Marketing

Joss's GTA was awesome once the KW's we fitted and all set up!

I won't go on anymore as I can add at least another 5 or 6 to that list!

[Gibbo]

For purely emotional reasons, my Montreal.

[zulu ferret]

Nice machine Mr.G : At the risk of being added to more Ig. lists, a few more tried, tested but never owned.

S3 Bentley, RR Shadow, DB6 Volante, RR Corniche, and a few 'E' Types. Managed to own one of the latter, just! Oh! I did have that AH 100 4, but never got it roadworthy! : maybe that would of been worth something now, as I recently read an AH 100 Test Car sold for £843,000, Bonhams described it as 'in barn find condition'. Am I moasting a bit? Well aren't we all??

+1

Been lucky enough to drive plenty of supercars/posh motors but never enjoyed anything more than a Caterham.

Equally no road car has ever come close to the fun of a Formula Renault or a Mk2 Escort Rally car

[zulu ferret]

The Corniche suited my Moss Bros. of Charing Cross outfit with it's shiny peaked cap and cockade? The last word will be interpreted as rude, but it's just a hat badge really? Oh! it was accepted.

[SENNA1]

Porsche (997) Carrera S 911
& my GT!!!

[Spiderman]

"Best" is a little subjective isn`t it? Other cars that made an impression ,also include 205GTI,TVR S1,various classic Minis,a tuned Alfasud,the old 916 Spider,but also had great drives in a Mondeo st170 and a Nissan 200sx.

Even my humdrum Focus was good fun on the roads of Bavaria and Austria last year so "best" doesn`t necessarily mean exotic...........................

[zulu ferret]

Fair Enough SM. So it has to be my Lancia Thema turbo 16v that rates as one of 'the best' cars I have ever owned giving me the ultimate in service for fourteen long years. :,

[Al Faromeo]

My brother's RS4
A QP 4 ottocilindri
Porsche 997 Carrera 2 S

Last weekend I test-drove a 996 C2 cabrio tiptronic and I am smitten. A perfect mix of supercar and daily driveability - especially fun with the top down

[MrShusky]

For driving fun, a fully rally race prepared Peugeot 306 at Silverstone rally sprint.

For sheer brute force a VXR8 at Donnington, Alton Park and Rockingham.

For pleasure a DB5*

*I reversed it out of the garage, washed, dried and waxed it before driving it back into the garage a round trip of about 30 metres

Been in a few others but only as a passenger

DB4, DB5, DB6, DBS, V8.... in fact any Aston post DB3 and pre Gaydon (DB7s onwards are to generic and numerous) will have that effect.

[bazza]

Pedant.

Fine, name another marque if I must explain myself perfectly.

[alfavirign]

Lamborghini Gallardo around Silverstone quickest car I have ever driven well apart from my old Mini Mayfair .I think it may have been Just a bit too brutal ,I don't think I had long enough in it to really appreciate it .

[SLM3CFC]

Not driven many but..
Lambo gallardo (Track day, Tempted to kick the fella out the passenger side and drive the car home)
Lexus GS450H (So smooth, I felt like a king)
GTA (The feeling when your driving home from just buying it never dies)

[Starkers]

I have never driven anything special . I guess I just plump for the Gtv then - it certainly sounds the best
