Mmmmm...driven that one. 1986 V6 Turbo. When that turbo winds up, it's just like ... "woooOoAAAAHH!HH!H!!!" images/smilies/w00t.gif

I could have bought the car too (I was test driving it), but there were too many things wrong with it for me to be able to afford it in the long run. Definately a boat-load of fun, though.

why on earth would u wanna do that??? rubbish cars are meant to be rubbish, you shouldnt waste ur time driving one.

juding from ur reply, the result would be quite fucked up if the question was "women you have to shag before you die"
I kinda understand where hes coming from, you would compare the nice car to the other cars you have driven alas. It would seem better to you because you have driven not only the best cars. "Oh man it has so much more power than that Open astra!"
Two things:

1) Unless you're some kind of sick in your head, cars are not women. So the statement can't be transferred from "cars" to "women".

2) Rubbish cars are much more fun, in my opinion, because if you wreck 'em you won't feel as bad. Not to mention that its much easier to find their limits, and driving a car at it's limits is always fun.



10 cars I want to drive before I die:

1) 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
2) Volvo 850R
3) Mercedes Benz SLR-McLaren
4) Corvette Z/06 (C5 & C6 versions)
5) Corvette C5R
6) Ferrari 575M
7) Maserati MC-12
8) Lamborgini Countach
9) Ford GT-40
10) 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk

Exactly the car was big and not as sporty as its predecessors but it was “a boat-load of fun” as you put it. The 350Z it is a techno marvel but it lacks the real hoot factor because it’s so happy go lucky looking where as the 300 was so straight forward. Mind you just because a car is horrible in a lot of ways, don’t think it’s not perfect in the miles of smiles measure.

Exactly, how the hell are cars similar to women? I've enjoyed driving a Hyundai Excel as much as I have a BMW M3. It's amazing what an Excel can get up to. I'm not going to limit myself to one car, what would be the point of that?

Oh well I've driven a Veyron, that's my life over now.

Good choice btw, I didn't include that because it's my attainable exotic. I won't just be driving it before I die, I'll experience the joys of owning one before I fill the grave. $5-15k for one of the best Japanese cars ever? images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
