nicest car i've ever owned was a bmw 5 series , but my favourite was a vauxhall vectra diesel estate , because i didnt have to worry about anybody stealing it, keying it or otherwise defacing it. i didnt care about it.

it was an appliance , plain and simple , cheap to maintain and insure.

with the bmw , being parked on a london street every night , i never knew if it would be there the next day and the maintenance costs were a bit silly to say the least.

if money were no object i would buy the bentley continental. pure class.

[Thetyim]

not sure? Secondhand i would have thought closer to 1 million?

Lets go Thetyim, Performance wise you might beat me,

Porsche 959

Depends what you mean by performance, top speed or acceleration.

The 959 is good for 200+

I have driven a DFV powered Thunder Sports.

[davethailand]

In my old job one of the cars i drove on certain days was a Bentley Continental T.

Beautiful and veeeerrrrrryyyy fast.

Goes like a rocket

Nicest car would be my current , Merc C36 AMG , the fastest would probably be my Subaru Impreza STI 5 , the &lt;deleted&gt; who nicked it though it was quick 2

In the last 5 years I have had too many nice cars , I probably have lost a fortune on trade-ins , too impatient to wait for a decent price. None of them over 10k Sterling , but nice still.

BMW M5 ( E34) M3 ( E 36 ) Nissan 300zx TT, Audi Quattro , Toyota Supra TT , Nissan Skyline R33 GTR , Ford Saff Cossie 4 x 4 , BMW 750 , Alfa Spyder V6, BMW 540.

You can buy all of these in Thailand..............................

Pontiac thunderbird 5.6 liter gasoline ,, roooaaaarrrrrrrr.....

Is that a Pontiac Firebird, or Ford Thunderbird?

Had a 1975 6.5L 440hp Firebird back in the 80s. Went through 4 engines in 2250mi but never lost a race.

I've slowed down now, a Nissan pickup, and a beat up honda.

Sorry firebird, didn't have it that long and it is already 17 years ago

to much gasoline. you had to stop the engine at the tankstation or you couldn't fill her up

[Merlin]

I suppose the best I had was a Holden Monaro with a 350Chevy [extensively modified] and quite a bit of suspension work and a bit of body mods too. 125MPH on the open highway in the days when petrol was something like 80cents a gallon...

Fun to drive, but a cop magnet.

[djinn]

Preferate cars owned in Belgium:

1 1984 Ferrari 348 GTS

2 1969 Mustang Mach 1 (5.7 L) completely restored

3 1998 Chrysler Stratus Cabrio (2.5L)

4 1981 Toyota Supra

And now a grey 2003 Toyota Vios.Much more discreet than all my previous monsters

[Phil Conners]

Had a couple of nice cars over the years, my favorites being Mazda RX7 and BMW 540iA ... As most others now drive a pickup...

[pluto_manibo]

Seems we all were driving nice cars, then we came to Thailand and are all driving pick ups.... Something is wrong.....

[Jai Dee]

Seems we all were driving nice cars, then we came to Thailand and are all driving pick ups....   Something is wrong.....

I think it's more to do with adaptation and practicality...

Haha, yea, seems like that..............

Have you seen the interior of the New Toyota Vigo 4 Door 4WD Auto pick up?

Very nice for a truck, more like a nice saloon interior.

and riding the too legged pickups as well

[PvtDick]

My first and best: a 6.6 litre 1979 Pontiac Trans Am with t-roof. Metallic silver with red leather interior.

[Dr. Burrito]

Never owned a car, per se, always pickups or SUV's. My favorite one is my ride to this day, a 1993 Ford Bronco, manual tanny and hubs. Assuming parts are always made, and it survives fuel conversions, doubt I will ever drive anything else.

[kreon]

ford mustang,

madza rx7,

bmw 320(in garage paris)

A childhood favourite of mine

I still want one now, Or a corvette stingray.

[PvtDick]

I believe I read in the paper recently that they planned to start importing right-hand drive Corvettes into Thailand soon. I'd love one of them babies, but, of course, they'll probably be priced at upwards at 4 million baht apiece...

[davethailand]

A guy i know in Phukets got a lovely stingray convertable, 1970 i think.

[Dakhar]

Best I have ever owned, BMW M3, Best I have ever driven BMW M3

Question, can I import it to Thailand? (Left Hand Drive, 240 (stock) hp)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Only 240bhp ? They're 286/320(evo) over here stock (uk) assuming it's the E36 version.

I think lhd would be a pain in Thailand , but someone will have an idea about. import taxes for you.
