car you ever owned? mine was a datsun 120y estate that i had years ago. it was an olive colour and was great to drive and pulled my 3 berth caravan no problem, it was however prone to rusting so had it resprayed 3 times over the 10 years i had it, would have kept it running for as long as possible but some drunk ran into the back of it bending the chassis legs so it wasn't worth getting it repaired. what was favorite car you have ever owned?

MY favourite bedsted was a Bond mk F 3 wheeler, had some mad times in that he he it had a 250cc villiers 2 stroke lump drving the front wheel, if the battery was flat you could kick start it by lifting the bonnet and putting yer leg in it could as fast backwards [45mph] as forward 4 speeds in both directions because the engine could run in both directions, and getting on 2 wheels round corners was a laugh no heater noisy smokey but fekking hilarious.And the front bench seat saw some action :badgrin: :badgrin:

In reality the best motor has to be my current one a Skoda Superb 1.9 Diesel auto 130 bhp bloody science fiction compared to the Bond 130 MPH 50mpg 18000 miles servicing the only thing its fekking BLUE still it does the bizz, with plenty of room in it and reliable 110 000 on the clock really its just run in :D :D

As for buying a Ford not since I read the Flivver King by Upton Sinclair =D> =D> =D>
