Name you three most favourite cars that you've owned.

[rallytaff]

I'll start with mine. First off was my 1972 white Ford Escort Mexico which I bought when I served in Germany. I think I paid about 1,000 pounds sterling for it. Topped out on the autobahn at 108mph! Next came my 1980 Vauxhall Chevette HS2300 which I got tax free when I bought it to go to Germany. I traded in the Mexico for the Chevette. Great car with 135bhp which I had tuned for 160bhp with a new cylinder head and different carbs. Rallied it one year in the Liege International Police Rally in Belgium. Lastly, my current ST which is my forever car. Has never let me down with any engine problem in my 11yrs of ownership. So what three have you owned which you considered the best?

1. Current '18 FIST
2. '90 civic EF with an SI swap
3. '95 escort

The fist is the only car I've made payments, everything else was purchased for under a grand... I'd probably still have the EF Civic but a lady in a Corvette T Boned me😮‍💨

I've only had 2. My first was a 1994 Mustang I got back in high school. Nothing special but was mostly reliable for the 8 years I had it. Was able to get it from SoCal to upstate New York when I was stationed at Fort Drum. After two years there it finally became too costly and unreliable and I decided to get a new car. Wanted a WRX Hatch but those stopped being in production and I wanted a new car. Also wanted the RS but it was too costly and I had to be realistic. Got the FiST in 2016 because It was a small hatch but could still hang and have a blast. Plus I could transition it to rally someday if I get something bigger. So far it's done amazing by me and have had no major issues in the 169K miles on it. Did a minor rebuild of the trans and replaced a lot of wear and tear parts. Dare I say its thriving now that I get to mash down on the Autobahn and these Bavarian roads. Super excited to take it back stateside though for all the scenic roads I've yet to drive. But not before I hit up the Nürburgring in spring. Here's one of the only pics I have of the two together. Sadly the mustang is no longer with us and it got scrapped some years ago instead of being donated like I coordinated for.

Still own all of them*
1. 2001 Corvette coupe
2.1992 GMC Typhoon
3. 2015 Fiesta ST
Its all a LOVE/HATE relationship. Its like my father says " If its got TITS or TIRES its gonna give you problems!"

 

[Stubborn Approach]

1999 BMW 328is
2004 Mazdaspeed MX5
1991 MR2 5vzfe swapped

All faster in a straight line than my e85 FiST & better DDs. The first 2 were much funner to drive and much faster on track for half the investment of the FiST. The aftermarket support for the MR2 was nonexistent ~10 years ago when I was driving that, but nothing holds a candle to the sound 6+ cylinders right behind you. Can’t wait to get a P car….

My 2003 4runner v8 has been so reliable. Dont know where I would be without it, with how hard it obtain basic parts for the FiST. The dealership doesn’t stock anything for it, but getting Toyota or BMW parts (much higher quality parts) is always a piece of cake.

I miss that e36 every single day. It could do everything and had endless performance potential.

The FiST definitely makes the list
Had a 2015 Mercedes C300 Sport, fun little sedan that got great highway mileage
Have a 1975 MG Midget that's a fun roadster, when it works. Currently down with a suspected blown clutch slave. Lost all clutch pedal about 1/2 mile from home. Luckily, it only weighs about 1,300lbs.

Fun wise, those 3 probably take the list.

My first car was a 1982 Mercedes 240D. Absolutely, the slowest car I've ever driven. 0-60 more accurately measured with a calendar than a stopwatch
It had over 300k when we bought it, and it was in amazing shape [especially compared to the others we looked at]. Had it for about 9 months & got rear ended by a F150 pulling a trailer. $7k in damage to a $2k car.
One of these days, want to put a W123 300TD wagon in the garage.

Focus RS, E36 M3, 72 Mach1, LR4, Fiesta ST - all still at the house.

S14 240sx gets an honorable mention - great chassis, horrible engine/transmission.

It all started with an A2 GTi....would like to have a VR6 swapped one, that would be a hoot.

First, a 1970 VW Beetle. BTW 1970 featured the highest compression ratio ever put in an air cooled Beetle. Largely due to the same engine going into the Porsche 914. Car would do 0-60 in 14.3 seconds and top out at 105.


1985 Monte Carlo SS Now carrying a GMPP HT383 and a Grand National Spec 200R4 transmission by Jasper.

2019 Fiesta ST It's a bit faster to 40 than the Monte and much better when the road gets really twisty. Mods are all cooling related. Features a Mountune Intercooler, Mountune Intake Kit, and a Mountune Radiator.


Yeah, being a Car Nut sort of runs in the family. It goes back to my Great Grandfather who drove a Marmon in the 19 Teen's.

1978 Fiesta S. I dailied this car, it was the first car I bought myself new, and over time I turned it into a C/SP autocross car that I drove to 10th place at the Solo II Nationals

1985 MR2. Just loved the nimbleness. And for the time the power was good.

2019 Fiesta ST. Need I say more?

But the Fiesta ST is really my wife's car. So I'll give honorable mention to another one I had when the impracticality of the MR2 became a problem. And that was a 1991 Mercury Tracer LTS.

Pretty sure we're both members of another forum, run by a certain eagle.
