I went out in a Radical SR3 last year and it was just awesome. No other way to put it. I was initially impressed with the straight line speed but when it came to cornering, it was just nothing like I've experienced before. It took about an hour to wipe the grin off my face afterwards.

The thought of driving one on the road really excites me and hopefully one day I'll be able to make it happen.

Must have been through five or six car choices trying to decide on a car to replace her MGF.
Narrowed it down to something where the roof has to come off and it has to be cheap on petrol. Also not allowed to immerse ourselves in debt.

At long last we've come to an agreement on a car we can both agree on. And now I can't stop thinking about it...

Love the colour and alloys!

I will not be changing the Punto for a while, 18 months roughly but i am certain my next car will be an EP3 Civic Type R or Cooper S, however this has been on my mind for a few days along with an Integrale. JDM spec EP3 Civic Type R, why JDM, well they have slightly more power than the UK models (212 bhp v 197bhp) and they are available in White with White wheels and finished with Red Alcantara seats oh and they are pretty rare too.

Subaru Legacy Blitzen Estate. Seen one for sale, just not sure I can justify the price for an 11 year old car.

But the thought of 280bhp, 4WD and that twin-blown flat four is just cloud9

I often see a red one in York, looks good but the driver is a bit of an idiot.

As someone that is on the lookout for a wagon, I like that (been looking at Spec Bs). But, err, what is it? Blitzen? Jap import?

For me, it remains this (not necessarily this one, just generally). Especially as I saw one on the road today, just looked so "right":

yes very limited edition import - same spec as a GTB-II but Porsche designed bodykit & wheels. But still a very unassuming and discrete weapon driving

They also have an LSD too, but on the other hand, they are imports so are more expensive to insure and there is the whole undersealing / lack of rust protection issue. Stunning cars though, I love my UK EP3 to bits.

I don't know why. But with Spoon's 8500rpm engine, I think it'd be fantastic.

Saw a clip of XXX earlier and reminded me of how awesome the '67 pontiac GTO's are. Loving the purple/blue flip paint too (even if it isn't very original!)
