Yes; the Honda S2000 is a very quick car ,women seem to drive them more than men . A 1300cc engine would have done.

500E? yes please, especially in black. Very understated, a nice sleeper fit for a statesman. As for the SLR, silver is so passé. Black wins hands down, though i wonder if McLaren could do a Nude Carbon version..? |

Totally unmolested Mitsu Evo-something... They look OK when they've not got the 2Fast graphics cr*p down the doors. Amazing Recaros inside too.  It never ceases to amaze me how long and low the TVR Cerbera is... Reminds me of going to college in Blackpool

I need to get a decent camera cos the amount of top notch cars i see every day shocks me. I see Ferrari's Astons, bentleys, Maserati's, Lambos etc etc on a daily basis!! According to an insurance survey we have the most concentrated amount of super cars in the whole of the UK up here in south Yorkshire  And the second most affluent part of the country is up here in Sheffield!!!!!!

Longest build time in history?
|
Guildford - Reported in the Times as the "Porschest place in the country". They're all over the bloody place! And one of my mates dad down there had 7 supercars. Ferarri's, Two astons, you name it. And another one of my mates (Who i'm sure is in the Mafia!) has just built a second four car garage, only for his son to come out on the day of completion saying: Daddy, the Vanquish wont fit in there! And he was right! he he he he! :lol: :lol: |

I can believe it. They don't call it the 'stockbroker belt' for nothing! Here in grimy, cramped London folk have to just make do with one or two supercars. However, Holland Park W11 is quite sickening as Addison Road is probably the most opulent area of London i've ever been to - more old classic motors lying around. Last time i went there i counted a DB3, a DB5, two DB6s and two Bristols! Many newer cars too, Bentleys and Ferraris mainly. Addison Road takes its name from Joseph Addison who lived at Holland House. He was an essayist and poet of the late 17th Century who’s main claim to fame now is as the founder of the Spectator. This is a long road stretching from Holland Park Avenue to Kensington High Street. Many of the houses have large front gardens with small sweeping driveways, and are well set back from the road behind high front walls and gates ensuring maximum secrecy. The grandest house in Addison Road is an ornate blue and green glazed-brick and tiled mansion known as ‘The Peacock House’. This Grade I listed mansion was recently on the market for around £20 million. (This price took into account the fact that it needed considerable refurbishment and repairs). It was built in 1906 for Ernest Debenham of the supermarket store of the same name. The reason i went to Addison Road was to work at Peacock House, about 2 years ago. It was inhabited by two brothers in their twenties, and about 3 housekeepers. That was it. No parents around, they live abroad... |

Not usually a fan of water-cooled 911s (too fat and bland) but passing the Porsche dealership in Berkeley Square i had a pleasant view:   I think it might be a full GT3 kit on a Carrera S. Stunning, perfectly matched rims. Colour's not bad either

no smell of petrol but this thing is loud as hell. it was probably only doing around 70 mph but you could hear it 200 meters away
 cls is very nice inside i thought. ours had this plastic wood immitation which looked and probably is as well cheap. other than that it was brilliant. sat nav, dvd player, black leather, electric seats, a/c. you name it, it was there. and the looks you get from people on the street... just a quick question, i was doing probably around 120+ mph on the way there, the bloody car is so nice to drive and so quiet. then saw a police car coming closer fairly fast with all the lights flashing. thougt that was it. so he came next to me pointed his finger at me and then showed me to slow down. i nodded and then he drove off. do they do that often?? |

No, you lucky sod, they don't! Normally they'll pull you over and empty your wallet... Glad you had fun in the CLS! By the way, my current Porsche obsession is yet to fade. I really like this car:

Hi Guy's, Have a look at this ebay item n.o. 330084208012 What I can't understand is he obviously has washed it and thought about the angle of the pic's and then, he takes the pic's in a dumping ground. Only needed to put it on the road or a nice piece of grass and it would of looked so much better. Nice car though, I like it, nice colour. slightly high price though, £1500 someone would buy it £2k plus is a bit of a stretch I think Regards Blonderabbit |

Hmm. 16v kit with fogs cut in, not too bad. Wheels are hideous, rear lights are a bit wierd. Obviously spent time & money on it, not to everyone's taste. LEs are hard to find, but that's the colour of most LEs i've seen.   Oh, and thank you for not smoking in the boot :lol: |

Full-on Zender Kitted Cream 190, Highbury. Body paint was in damn good nick, brown interior. Shame the wheels don't go with the kit, this car should be on colour-coded Pentas.

I'm not a Zender fan either, but it had the slightly gross brown interior to match - i thought the whole package needed some Pentas. Indicators and grille looked like a recent addition. A lurker here, perhaps? Matt, the only cure is to own one

Everytime I go to the pub I park in Michael Powells Bentley Garage. They have some fine automobiles in there! Porsches, Benzos, Beamers, Bentleys (obviously) - every top end car you can think of. I've tried to get pics, but because you're looking into a lit showroom my crappy camera phone just overexposes like a mother and the pictures become unreadable. |

They're pretty, but I know next to nowt about them, i'm more a flat-six fan. |

Did'nt Audi ask Porcshe to design the 244 to use as their sports car? Or was it the 224? |

Found this! "The company has always had a close relationship with Volkswagen, and as already mentioned, the first Porsche cars used many Volkswagen components. The two companies collaborated in 1969 to make the VW-Porsche 914 and 914-6, in 1976 with the Porsche 912E (USA only) and the Porsche 924, which used many Audi components and was built at an Audi Neckarsulm factory. Most 944s were also built there even though they used far fewer VW components. The Porsche Cayenne, introduced in 2002, shares its entire chassis with VW Touareg, which are built at the Škoda factory in Bratislava. Both Audi and Škoda are wholly owned subsidiaries of Volkswagen. In late 2005, Porsche took an 18.65% stake in VW, further cementing their relationship and preventing a takeover of Volkswagen, which was rumored at the time. Speculated suitors included DaimlerChrysler, BMW, and Renault." So Cayenne's and Toureg's are built by Skoda!! :lol: :lol: :lol: |
