Would you be so kind as to post any pictures that you may have, of the below?
Looks like you're quite a classic enthusiast.
I would love to see and appreciate the pictures at least of the below beauties.

without a doubt- My Baleno- the only car that i owned that i regretted selling.... the good thing is that she is in good hands with a fellow BHP-ian

foby.sebastian · 27th October 2009, 11:22

The one which I miss the most is my Premier Padmini (petrol)

nairrk · 27th October 2009, 11:26

I promise I would never sell my safari ever.
On the same note I remember forcing my dad to sell his beloved Amby.How much I regret it now

My vote would go to the Ford Escort 1300L which I owned in the UK from 1974 to 1976. Lovely gearbox, excellent handling, most forgiving.

It has to be my Hero Honda Karizma, I Simply loved this bike & will always regret letting her go.

silentscreamers · 27th October 2009, 14:19

i really really miss my 97 Zen, Ikon 1.6 and my recently sold off tuned City Vtec..

ahuja365 · 27th October 2009, 14:42

It was my old honda city that was the best car i had despite old style interiors and lack of features it simply was the best.

gomzi · 27th October 2009, 15:02

My old high revving '99 Zen. Yet to drive another hatch with that fun quotient!

princemanatt · 27th October 2009, 15:06

My favorite vehicle I have owned in the past is Zen. I drove it like a man possessed and it never failed me anywhere.
My current favorite is ohc vtec. Gives you the adrenalin rush everytime you get it to its 7100 rpm. Also for sedate driving experince, I prefer contessa.

Devil on Wheels · 27th October 2009, 15:14

It has to be my 1996 Yezdi Classic.

Have done some crazy stuff with it. Nothing can beat the expirience of riding 250 cc of raw power.

The newly acquired Safari is good, but don't feel anything even when you are doing 120-130 withour helmets or glasses.

lordofgondor · 27th October 2009, 15:34

I love my current ride, Maruti Esteem '07 for all that we've been through. Be it driving in the city, highways, winding mountain roads, tall snow covered passes and water crossings. It's never let me down, but once I've let it down.

Next in line is my Indica V2 '02, for it's sheer road presence in city conditions. It's always been a pleasure bossing pesky autos/rickshaws and moronic car drivers.

Also the fact that it's still going strong after 1.3 Lac Kms having been through some tough stretches. A real VFM vehicle.

Of course who can forget about the sweet M800 '98. Sweetest thing to drive in city IMHO. It felt so weird while giving it away in an exchange offer for the Estilo we bought. Still miss it big time.

it_inspector · 27th October 2009, 17:05

My favourite car has been and will continue to be ford f6 thypoon or ford ba xr6turbo.
