Cars, Cars, Cars --- Are You Car Crazy??

Do you love cars? Do you rally or race?
Do you appreciate or despise the "American" muscle cars?

European or American manufacturers --- What are the best and worst vehicles in your area?

I grew up in the car world, I was also known for street racing in my younger years,(yes now that I'm older and wiser it was stupid, but the rush and money was extreem). Best in which way's? Best for getting harrased, modified Civic. Hightest re-sale value-Mercedes followed by Honda. Greatest for technologic wizardly Nissan Skyline. Fun Lotus Elise. Fastest Production car Porsche gt2. But overall everyday driving,I'm happy with my JDM Subaru Forester STI. It has around 300hp, handles fairly well and is quit roomy, I guess I'm getting older. I don't even miss my Corvette anymore.

Oh and I use to track race, I had a CRX that use to do the 1/4 mile (400meters) in 11.3 sec (in other words faster than my stock Corvette). I had a 100cc scooter that did the 1/4 mile in 13.9 sec.

I love Beemers, but they are full of electrical Gremlins

'65 stang (blue) was my first car --- wish I still had it but the Canadian winters had other ideas and alas it succumbed to rust.

Had a 2000 black on black on black convertible until last year when a drunk driver hit my son --- car was toast but most importantly my son is A-OK.

Will get another stang once my son's insurance rates are less expensive

I'm a pony girl at heart --- even my son knows this my Christmas gift from him in 2003 was a cold-air intake --- have to love a son who thinks like this --- no girly girl stuff for mom --- just feed her "pony" passion!!!!!

Next fav -- has to be Beemer as well.

Racing experience --- none unless you count a little excessive speed on the highway ??

You raced in a Ferrari? :shock: For me a car is just something to take me from place A to place B at 300Km/h 8)

Bought a new car in January - the choice was to get a decent Renault Megane, and still have enough money left to come back to Cyprus a couple of times this year; or get a BMW and stay here in Scotland . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

See you in Limassol in 8 weeks !

Dont get me started on cars, I am absolutely mad on cars, I have owned loads, I feel the best all rounder is BMW M3. I have raced M3's on various tracks over the UK and cracked a 14 second quarter mile which isn't bad for convertible vehicle in factory spec.

I work for a millionaire who lends me his cars and so my daily drives are a choice of 4 Bentley Arnages, Ferrari 360 Modena F1 and a load of Mercs.

@ Debbie,

I was in Toronto 3 weeks ago and I didn't even see one nice car, it was all junk. Although I did pass a Lamborghini showroom on my way to Niagara and once in Niagara I spotted a Carrera GT. :D

You need to come to Central London where you walk the streets to the sound of burbling AMG's and Vantages and screaming Ferrari's and Gallardo's.


PS. We are having this delivered on Monday.......
