My standard corsa GSi :lol:
People don't let me drive their cars very often, especialy if they're quick. :(
'Paul sxi' what was it like on the track day? I've always wanted to go on one driving a ferrari. :)

Si, that VX220 was it the 2.2 turbo version or the standard one?
I've only had a go in my sisters 206 GTi 2.0. not bad very nippy for a small hatch!, but the fastest car I've driven was probably my uncles BMW M3 3.2... very, very, very fast for a road car! :D Then there was my other uncles porsche 944 which was quick, and also his GTO 3.0 twin turbo.
Oh yeah then there was the aston martin... you know the one in the latest bond movie, yeah that was quick... yeah very nice car... yeah handles like a dream... and yes... that one is just a dream! :lol: if only the insurers would let you and the bank manager would stretch that far... :D
Si, that VX220 was it the 2.2 turbo version or the standard one?
It was the 2.2 VX220 not the 2.0 turbo. But was fecking quick! They wouldn't let me have a go in the turbo one. Took it on milbrook race track/high speed bowl.

SilverSRi
25-03-2004, 20:50
I know the pull in the BMW's is amazing... you can be doing 80mph on the motorway and floor it and the bloody thing pulls away like a 3.0 twin turbo off the lights! 8) My dad got the E46 330 ci 3.0 M54 Sport model. Some serious cruising to be done in the summer 8) :P
my dads Ford svt lightning pick-up
5.4litre supercharged v8. it goes!
only good in a straight line thO back end is so light lose it well easily!
shhhh he doesnt know!
superchargers make the nicest noise i ever heard
My brothers Astra Coupe 2.0 Turbo....
Only feels like its got a little more pull than my SRi but when it gets going it flys... all the way off the clock past 160mph
My 1.0l 12 Corsa or my mates 1.3 8v SR Nova lol
Oh Oh i've driven a Gti Tdi Gt ah fuk it! A 1.6 golf!
1.6 golf to....but....hopefully get ago of mates cooper s and other mates tt turbo
also can i ask....does anyone have stupidly rich friends that have amazing cars for there first? person with tt turbo is a 17 yr old female.....and coopers s also female at 19 .....its just taking the piss....coz sum ppl dream of hving cars like them,.....
SxiSteve
26-03-2004, 10:48

SilverSRi
26-03-2004, 11:25

SxiSteve - what engine is in your dads E46?

SilverSRi
28-03-2004, 21:10
my dads is the 3.0 version just one down from the older M3, my uncle got the M3 in silver not too much difference though, but do like the newer M3 what a car!!! also saw them in showroom when bought my dads, got sat nav TV and hard top that comes off looks amazing, with those 19" dark chrome alloys... want some! saw one on road other day, lightish blue with dark chrome alloys looks a right car!

BMW M3 Evolution (convertible) o dear that was so quick my dad let me take it to football its fair to say i overtook a few people :lol:
fastest car i've driven is mine. couldnt drive dads rx-8 @ the prodrive thing cos i hurt my arm & he wont let me drive it on the road :lol: it will soon be my VXR though hehe
lol i think they fastest car i've ever driven was my mums old 1.6 RWD suzuki virtara lol, my dad used to have an Audi that looked like the knight rider car, don't know what it was but was years ago and i remember that being fast, i'm only 20 btw, so not chance to drive a real car yet. Me dads gone all boring and gets people carriers and stuff now, but he's just ordered a 150bhp zafira so might grab a go in that.
ive driven a tvr cerbera but he only let me do bout 120... fatest ive driven is 140mph in a 1.8i 16 v Vaux Veccy.. but fastest ive been wid some1 else drivin is bout 190-192 in a ferrari.. we got from east london to birmingham in bout 50 mins or so... fast or wot....
prodrive subaru, 1.6 fezzy. 1.8 xsara (alotho im sure thats slower then my 1.2) not much of a list compared to some of your guys
