Your Top 10 Cars - ever

[campbell]

An armchair competition stolen from EVO magazine this month

3 rules:

1. You must have driven it
2. A manufacturer can feature only once in your list
3. It must be road legal

I haven’t owned cars from enough different manufacturers to be able to play (and nor do I change cars often enough either!).

But there are some on here who do / did so I’m looking forward to spectating

Right. Who’s first?

[scott_e]

Driven enough cars for sure but other than Exige 350, Exige S2, Elise 220 Sport, Mr2 Mk2, Mr2 Mark3, Mazda Mx5 the rest were all handy me down sheds I seem to acquire from family so it would not make very exciting reading

[campbell]

Lol. Half a dozen from 2 manufacturers - broke rule rule 2 right away

Good list, mind …

[scott_e]

oh so I did sorry !

[Dominic]

That's quiet tough... I could prob do a list of 10 lotuses, but need to pick only one?.... this will require some thought...

[campbell]

…that’s the idea…

[campbell]

Remember he may not have owned them all

Rule 1. You must simply have driven it (that’s all)

[rawsco]

Exige 410
Ferrari 458
Mini Cooper S R53 with an LSD
BMW M4 CP (but only in the dry)
BlobEye Impreza STi PPP
McLaren MP12c something or other
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 no idea which of the million derivatives
Ford xr2 (with the pepper pot alloys)
Alfa v6 GTv (just for the noise)
Tesla M3 LR just cause I need to make up the numbers to 10

That’s pretty much the best of every marque I’ve driven.

The picture was a present given to my by Sandra a number of years ago as some of my favourite drivers cars we have owned.


As this fails the rules I have listed my top 10 here:

Porsche Boxster Spyder (owned)
Lotus Elise S1 111S (owned)
Mitsubishi Evo FQ-330 (owned)
Ford Puma (owned)
Aston Martin DB11 (driven)
VW Golf Gti PP (own)
Subaru Impreza Sti (test drive but plumped for Evo)
Nissan GTR (shot from a mate)
Audi RS4 B8.5 (owned)
Mercedes AMG C63 Estate (test drive but plumped for a sensible BMW 335D)

Most notable others was a Seat Lupo 1.0 courtesy car (while the Leon Cupra was in for a service). Enjoyment came from spanking it down the A68 with maximum concentration to maintain momentum so I could overtake any car in its path

[campbell]

Well done you two, raised the bar a little

I definitely can’t post a list now. I think I might struggle to reach 5.
