    Oldest car driven: My first car a 1979 Mini
    Newest car driven: I get to see a fair few prototypes etc work, so things like McLaren MP12 or Aston Martin's before they are released
    Highest miler driven: prob my first mk4 with 197k on when I sold it, and it still felt like it only had 60k on it!
    Largest car driven: Audi Q7 a couple of times, or a Toyota Land Curiser V8 diesel we had in for testing at work for a customer who armours them.
    Smallest car driven: G wizz / Elbil Norge Buddy / Aixam - all tiny Quadrocycles
    Most expensive car driven: Any of the prototypes we have it at work, even the test mule Landcruiser was over 100k when you added the suspension, wheel, tyres and brakes into the mix..
    Fastest - Prob one of the Astons as I wasn't allowed to give the McLaren the beans on the track

    Ah but clearly we are not discussing the fastest you have driven but the fastest car that you have driven. ;)
