I know of two of those from following BTCC, and a third for some odd festival they keep having. :D

Damn you with your cable tv and Internet ;)

Post #934 in this thread!

I have a 05 Evo VIII and '98 Techniqe Tuning STIII M3.

The Evo has a little less than 400 awhp. Love that car in the snow and bad weather.

The M3 is setup as a track car approx 450 rwhp.

I don't get out to the track as often anymore since my daughter was born, but used to get out there with some local BMW and Porsche clubs.

I used to have a pretty nicely setup Mini Cooper S. Got her up to about 200 fwhp and got rid of some of her weight. That car was a pleasure to drive at the track. Couldn't hang with the big boys on the straights, but would make up time through the twisties!

I should really read this thread closer! You've got to love Minis, we've just sold a JCW Cooper S, was great fun but we had too many cars!! Is your M3 a 6? 450 seems a lot of power! The lotus runs a 185hp twin-cam that's power comes in at 4500rpm and goes through to 9000 (if you want to spend £10000 each drive for a rebuild :rolleyes:) but it does weigh 700kg so you do the maths ;)
 
Just bought this. I've always wanted one since the 1960's, but then I didn't have the money, and later I had a family, but now this grand dad has a new set of wheels.:cool:

Awesome! I'd love to read about your driving impressions.

One question, what kind of engine is that? Doesn't look like the traditional Ford powerplant.

Well seen

It's a Chevy V8 with a Holey 4 barrel carb system Corvette gearbox manual 4 speed.

As for driving impressions, all I can say it's turned this 63 year old into a teenager.:D
 
Nice looking car. And is that ur castle on the background??

I'm sorry to disappoint but no, the castle is Haarzuilens near Utrecht.(It belongs to the Province of Utrecht)
I was there to pick up my car from the dealer.

All of the Audis on here are way too new. ;)

It is a 91 Audi 200 Quattro. Not many on the road know what it is, or what it is capable of, and I like it that way. :)

This is my 2000 Passat 1.8t. Now has just shy of 200,000 miles and have owned it since it had 000,011 miles. Has a few MTM modifications done to it, including a modified K04 Turbocharger upgrade.

Picked up a toy to get me around the city here. If I am not in the center of the city by 9, it literally takes me 20 minutes to drive around to find a parking spot. With the Piaggio, I can get in and out in no time, go to the beach, or head up to see my parents in the village nearby. I can go pretty much anywhere in Greece with 300cc's, not that I would want to travel 2 hours to Athens on that thing.

Anyone have any suggestions for alarms? I found one that would send me a message to my phone in case it was stolen, and inside the message, there would be a link to a map, showing where the bike is.

My New Mid 2008 Seat Ibiza Ecomotive 1.4TDI. 1 second faster to 60 than the regular version with 80+ UK MPG, that is over a hundred US MPG.

Took these during a trip to the Lake District the other day. That's why the car is a bit dirty. Oh and sorry for the dodgy work cloning out the reg but I did it in a hurry.
