I actually believe I had more fun in my very lightly modded UK 2000 than I ever have in my 480(ish) Type RA. Just goes to show you don't need to have silly power to enjoy yourself.

My WR1 is easily the fastest car I've owned, but the most fun I've had was my Peugeot 309 Sri. I was 19 and drove everywhere like a complete d1ckhead. If I drove like that now I'd be in a box or in prison!

Haha, I have been there as well. Treated every journey (or excuse to make a journey!) As a rally stage.

Quickest car I've had was the Subaru. A Terzo running around 280bhp. Nothing amazing but I loved it.

I loved the look of the 309 gti and apparently thay were the best handling 2wd car of their time. My mate had 1 and it felt very fast although i was 15 at the time.

A Bordeaux Red, EDS Phase 3 tuned, C20LET-engined MK2 Astra GTE 16v running circa 279bhp and 260lb/ft. Had a Quaiffe ATB Diff and 6 speed F28 gearbox. Remarkably solid for and old Russelheim dustbin and went like stink. Great in a straight line but useless pretty much elsewhere. Still had much fun in it.

Somehow I think it will be the M135i but the R32 and 335d are both cracking, quick motors.

Ferrari 360. Heavy but the sheer pantomime of driving a prancing horse more than made up for that.
