Default Cars to drive before you die

Come on then guys and girls what cars do you think you need to experience.


ok lets get the ball rolling think the noise and sheer b road pace of a Scooby really needs to be felt and I still get a kick out of it every day when I fire her up to go to work. priceless (never had a go in a classic yet think that’s something I need to do)

And my second nomination would be a Ford Ka. yep a little odd but raw simplicity of that car does make it oddly cool and for what it is it does drive well (ish)

if you've never driven one try to blag a ride, just one of the most fun cars i've ever been in. luckily it was on a track so i think it helped the experience

Ford Ka, well if you want raw then fiat 500 arbath, mini cooper, AH sprite for a start rather than a Ka!

Driven a lot of super and hypercars so for me it would be some classics

Everyones needs to have taken an old MK2 XR2 for a thrapping, you are not a real man until you have torn down some back roads in an 80's Fiesta XR2
