An Aston is just the thing! 'd Love one. But I'd have to go for a TVR, but not the new one, a Chimera probably. Not sure if I'd try to go anywhere in it at any speed, just turn it over to listen to the engine noise and you can't hear it properly if you're going fast. Al.
I never really liked the look of the TVR range. They do sound bloody good though (as they race past your 11 year old Metro). And if you had a big sports car you'd have to open her up from time to time. You know, just to see what it feels like! :) Graham

Just bought mi-self a second hand Peugeot 306 GTI-6. ( Standard 167BHP. :) ) I intend to tune and maximize the performance of the engine ... I like the car to be discrete; I mean the car should not look like a performance car: It just amuses me to see the looks on the faces of my unexpecting fellow-road-users :mad: when the devil-engine unleashes its power. BWAAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAAA!! ( Get the picture ?? :-D ) It will not be so funny when I get the speed tickets :(( and the fuel bills :eek: though... -------------------------------------------------- If my messages appear curt, I apologize. I try to be brief to save your time as well as mine. --------------------------------------------------

I'm with you, Jon. I started to buy a sports car one time, but I couldn't figure out where the heck the gun rack would go.;) "But, daddy, that was back in the hippie ages..."

I guess I'm the only one here so far that has any sense of style or concept of speed. Sure, all the cars you guys have mentioned so far are cushy little ooh-ahh exotic foreign crap, but you ain't been in a true sports car until you've been in one of those fire-breathing 427-powered blue convertible monsters. 200+ MPH in a car whose wheels and tires weighed more than the rest of the car is truly a sphincter-shrinking experience. Those teeth-buzzing 12-cylinder engines are impressive, but nothin compares to the bone-jarring idle of a race-prepped 427/SC Cobra. Some of those cars were delivered with a speedo that went from 0 to 200, and then tick marks in red that went past the "200" and led to the words "Oh Wow!". You guys are just a bunch o' sissies.

BMW 325ix which I bought new in 1991, and plan to drive until my grandkids turn 80. She has 70K miles, lives in a heated garage, and drives better than most new cars (biased opinion, here!). /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

While I totally agree that a 911 is a far more driveable and capable car, especially in "everyday" situations, it simply does not have the spirit and character of a Ferrari or a Lambo. Nothing beats the presence of a black Lambo coursing down a street. That is one seriously mean machine. And nothing beats the sound of a Ferrari going flat out... The Porsche is capable, but not very characterful :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

:) Lamborghini (sp ?) is also a helluva nice sports car, but have you checked the fuel economy on one of those ? But then again if you can afford the car, fuel shouldn't be a problem. I must go away now, this thread is making me depressed :((

Audi S8, TT roadster or RS4 (or all 3 - one for rainy days, one for sunny spring days, one for summer, and one for carting around the mountain bike and snowboard up to the snow) cheers, Chris Maunder

I'd buy a sports car to drive, and as far as I know, there are none more pleasurable to drive* then a Jaguar. Not to mention that that lovely little platimum coloured XKR convertible does look kinda nice... And I know for a fact that Carrs of Exeter has one just like that in stock... Now, where did I put that check book (what do you mean I can't sign it Mickey Mouse?) (* in real life, i.e. on the Tivvy to Exeter road) Oh well, I can dream. ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk "I loathe people who keep dogs.

Call that a sports car? Or are you taking the mickey? The first time I saw an american pick-up in the flesh I could hardly believe how big the thing was. And you nutters drive those around pretty much as normal? :rolleyes: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

The only other thing I would consider driving is a Chevy Tahoe. Those babies are sweet! Jon Sagara "Ninety percent of baseball is mental, the other half is physical." -- Yogi Bera

If I had a bottomless pit of money I would have to get myself an Aston Martin Vanquish. And then to fill the rest of my garage I'd have to have a Lotus Elise, the new one and a Lotus Esprit (the white Bond one! :cool: ). In fact if I had a bottomless pit of money I'd have one of all of the Bond cars as well as the Lotus and the Aston Martin Vanquish. :cool: OK, I'm off to setup a new bank now! :) Graham

I'd love to have an S3 (it's the only Audi S that I, being only 20, could probably get in a few years)... But I also love the TT roadster (obviously the 225 hp version), the RS4 is awesome (4.9 seconds 0/100 kph for that thing??), and I'm definetly looking forward to the new Audi RS6 (460 hp! that will easily kill the M5!!)
