Fantastic looking thing much prettier than the 599.



Taken from Harry metcalf's twitter. I didn't like it when it first came out preferring the enzo but it's growing on me. I used to think the wing mirrors were too long and rear was boring while the end was ugly but now? I don't know.

Clio 200. After a disappointing drive of a Clio 182 Cup (driving position is truly dreadful) this is one my list for the summer with a bit of luck.

Why not a DC2/DC5? Or do you just have something for Clios/Renaults? Just asking.

I can't afford the insurance on an import so a DC5 is out the question, and besides i wouldn't want to use a DC2/5 as a daily and i am not in a position to keep 2 cars; and i want something relatively new(ish) for daily duties.

Over the past 24 hours I have been looking (on Autotrader & PH Classifieds) at 2010-2012 BMW Z4's.

I can't really see how practical one would be when I am married with a 6yr old daughter, but I want one anyway!

Fair enough, understand on the insurance aspect atleast. I've not been in any Clio Cup I but didn't think they'd be much more civilised than a DC5, if that's what you're suggesting? The 182 cup wouldn't have been much newer.

Ferraris get uglier by the year. But despite the stoopid name and stoopid mirrors, that one does look mega in black with the doors up.

I prefer 4 doors. I still need to get my E39 sorted first lol.

Been reading up on E60's and warranties, seems AUC 2 year is the way to go, though has to be under 60k miles? Whatever, get my car sorted, get it in a position to sell next July and then look st an E60. Hmmmmm

I've somehow come round to wondering how affordable/stupid a Chrysler 300C SRT8 would be.

Certainly a bit different from a 500 Abarth that had recently been contemplating.

Get the Hemi Wagon version and you can stick the Fiat in the boot for when you run out of petrol. hehe

Good choice, best sounding TVR ever!
Thanks, & totally agree, but hopefully will sound even better. I have a full stainless exhaust on now, but it's standard when it comes to silencing.
So having this JP 'Sports' exhaust from ACT fitted tomorrow. biggrin

They are tasty. And easy enough to turn into a total sleeper car!
