1. What is the best car you've driven?
Original 90s NSX around a snowy Canadian hill pass! It's essentially the perfect driver's car with perfect near panoramic forward and side visibility. Doesn't feel as fast as the M3, but it makes up for it in complete driver involvement and the noise that comes from inches behind your head :cool:

2. What is the worst car you've driven?
Vauxhall Insignia

3. What was your first car
1 litre Rover Metro

4. What is your dream car?
E46 M3 CSL

1. For a start, it wasn't a car, but a 730Bhp 16.4 Litre HGV - Scania R730 V8 - , 3500Nm of torque, pulling 44tons with greater ease than my current 450Bhp rig runs empty strikes you deeply! :o:D

2. BMW e65 760lLi, fantastic technicaly but the thought of driving something so hideous to look at....

3. 1982 Ford Escort Mk3 1.3 Ghia which turned out to have the front end of a 1982 car welded to to the rear of a 1985 car.

4. Alpina B12 6.0 E-Kat e38. - https://theclassiccar.company/products/bmw-alpina-b12-6-0 (but not at that price!)

Worst car -Saxo VTS (when it didn’t work) or Corsa B learning to drive in. Had 0 confidence in it. Swear the already light steering got lighter at speed
First car - Escort 1.3 Bonus (bonus was it was 4-speed when others had 5....)
Dream car - Porsche 918 or McLaren P1

The worst car you've ever driven is a V12 7 Series?

Yea, ok. What do you currently drive?
What’s the point of a car that’s technically brilliant but makes you retch whenever you look at it?

If your paying top money for a top of the line car the looks need to be upto the occasion which the e65 falls well short of.

I personally think the e65 is one of the worst BMW’s of recent years.

I'm going to say my "best" is the car which I enjoyed the most, rather than the "best" technically etc -

1. My Skyline R34 GTT with the RB26 engine from a GTR - perfect balance of power, handling, feel etc but it ruined me financially. However my L-Reg Citroen ZX 1.9D as a "£100 from eBay" car comes a close second as, a bit like the Top Gear road trips where the cast bond with a crap car, I absolutely adored "Leaky" - L344KKY - as the ultimate crap car which never lets you down no matter what and was hilarious to drive :D

2. Rover 25 hire car - I thought I broke the clutch pedal as it was so weak/light and meh and the dash was cream with maroon numbers. It was designed by someone with zero passion for driving, design or fun :(

3. F-Reg Ford Escort 1.6 - My only carb-engined car, was a good "starter" car where I learned "feel" (no power steering), rev matching (crap synchro), keeping max speed through a bend (no power to accelerate after one) etc and general car DIY inc new stereo/speakers etc.

4. Test drove a brand new R34 GTR that was being used as a press car - always wanted one but missed the boat on "cheap" ones before the price doubled almost overnight but TBH nothing really stands-out now-a-days. I'm too old for a Ferrari/Lambo/Porsche/McLaren etc without looking like an advert for mid-life crisis but I'd like to own a Dodge Hellcat at some point, just because I love the look/sound combo but I wouldn't call it a "dream" car.

Inside the M25
Some odd responses in here, I know the Juke is hateful but worse than an Austin Metro? Nah, your typical new car even if we love to hate it is miles better as a car than something that was hateful even in the 80's.

That would be me, and I enjoyed the Metro far far more than the Juke. Light, skinny tyres, not much grip and a nice notchy gearbox and low powered engine meant it could be fun to drive within the speed limit. As my first car I'm definitely looking at it with rose tinted specs but the Juke was appalling. Smallest engine in the range so took ages to speed up. An auto gearbox that had to have a little chat with itself before doing anything. Terrible visibility so it seemed much bigger outside than it actually was inside (the opposite of the tardis effect that my old 206 had). It wallowed like a boat and the radio system was crap. Obviously much more reliable than a car from 1988, but at least the metro was cheap and relatively easy to fix.

2. Some lupo courtesy car. 50hp and 0-60 in never.
3. '95 Toyota Corolla 1.3.
4. Varies by mood. McLarens usually end up on my lotto dream searches though. E34 M5 would also be up there.

Best car driven - Audi R8 V10 Plus - The sheer power the thing had was relentless for a NA 5.2L
Worst car driven - Citroen C1 as it was a loaner car while the garage MOT'd my car at the time
First car - Seat Ibiza 1.4 non-turbo
Dream car - Audi R8 V10 Plus in orange/black. Just love the car and the sound the engine makes.
