HEJC72 I came across your classic mini and colourful caravan combo on Pin-interest earlier on. At least I think it was yours.
If I was being objective I would have to say that my best car is my current Disco 4 - a car much cleverer than I am which will tow anything, anywhere
If I was being subjective I would have to say that the best car is my Peugeot 205gti from 30 years ago - if I had the cash I would find a good one and buy it tomorrow!

Least favourite car... ford focus 1.8tddi 2002, pile of crap. Everything went wrong, we spent a fortune trying to sort it out, got on top of the problems then the engine started knocking
MOST favourite car, has to be our current car.... 2002 mazda 323 2.0 sport. Very quick car, handles like a dream, and in the last 12months it has cost less than £100 including servicing!!
This is the car we will keep for a VERY long time
I think I gave it the kiss of death, by saying I wanted to keep her for a LONG time. Mazda is now up for sale, money has got tighter and wife needs to do a LOT more mileage each week, so with regret I have to sell my BEST EVER car.... Hope our next car is even half as good

.....unless to offer a hand, to help them up

loved the 323 myself but didnt like the change of shape from the 96 model i had to the current one in pic it just reminded me to much of the almera
------------- if there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water
My Ford Fiesta XR 2 i loved.I learnt to drive late (25) and it was my first car,had it for 6 years met my now wife and we had many great times in it.Drove down to Spain twice,Italy and much of France while camping.Had to get rid of it when we started having kids.
Worst car was a kia Sedona,awful to drive,thirsty and unreliable.2.5k in 14 months for repairs before i sold on.Funny thing i saw it last week so it hasn,t died yet.
The later mazda 323 BJ model Was in fact based around the nissan almera, thats not a bad thing either
She is up for sale if anyone is interested?
Looking for £1800, she has long MOT and TAX and has a genuine 56000 miles on the clock. I Guarantee that the new owner will not be unhappy with her
But I WILL be very sad to see her go

My favourite was a 3 litre vauxhall Cresta luxury car but was very thirsty in the 70s, my least favourite was a Polski fiat pick up least said the better
Two favourites really,a 1974 MGB GT took me everywhere in comfort,engine was a Marina twin carb so cheap parts,and my lovely Mercedes 280 coupe with the stacked headlights,really classy.
worst car ever was a two door Range Rover,what a money pit that turned out to be,paid five grand for it,two years later,managed to get one grand for it,never again will one darken my doorstep
My 'most' favourite is my current car - only got it a couple of months ago, a MINI cooper convertible. Fits anywhere and am loving going roofless in this weather.
Over the years have had many favourites;
my MG midget ( sold for the deposit on my 1st flat)..really old 'c' reg bright yellow.
My 1st car a VW golf formel E - written off in an accident :-( ( mr dozy driving it - but not to blame.
My Merc. A class. 1.9 with all the trimmings - auto gearbox about to die so traded in quick : replacement more than car worth.
My worst car has to be my Fiat UNO - bought to replace mg midget as cheap to run etc. Totally un comfy, tinny , cheap, unreliable list could go on.......
My fav car of Mr Dozy's was his Honda CRX, I nicked it all the time :-)
