    Having not had enough exposure to the F series yet. I would have to go for my last R56 Nigel. Had every option possible, was an uncommon colour and I think the gold wheels worked perfectly against the blue. I would have liked a wee bit more power and some sportier seats but there are still days I miss that car.

    Thankfully the new owner has fallen in love with it has now been bitten by the MINI bug.

    GTC4Lusso - for one car to tick all the boxes forever I can't think of anything better. Space, comfort, practicality, power - what else do you need?


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    If I went with my head it would have to be a fully loaded 3.6 V6 FORD Explorer Sport.
    It’s without doubt the most comfortable car that I’ve ever driven, we covered 2,800 miles in it in 2 weeks, and the smart AWD drive system is just amazing. It very easily got me through 2.5’ of snow, over 6” thick ice, through mud, sand, gravel etc without any dramas at all on the last road trip. Plus the heating system was so good I wore just a polo shirt (and jeans, socks and trainers lol) when it was -18C outside but I felt cool when it was 36C outside.

    If I went with my heart though it would just have to be a 5.2 twin turbo V12 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante.

    My old Skoda Fabia vRS, it was the one car I regret selling, the one car you wish you never sold when you drove off the forecourt in a diesel c-max. I could have bought it back at the start of the year as it was up for sale again for a grand, I have a funny feeling my R56 when I come to sell will be one I will regret selling, it’s the most fun car I have driven in years.

    If I was dreaming or I won the lottery it would be a Escort RS Cosworth Monte. As a 11 year old boy sitting in one about 20 odd years ago it was the Escort I always wanted, huge fan of Mark five and six escorts (even through the press slated them) so it was what every Ford fan would want.
