went up my brother inlaws yesterday and drove his nissan gtr, thats been chipped to 620 fucking madness i felt sick after 15 minutes.. av driven fast cars before but this thing is on a different level
My mate was talking about a track day he did, he drove a lambo and an audi R8, they're about £100, I'd rather spend about £300 and rent one for the day and drive it on the roads i reckon !
Iv been driven in Ghana from Acra to Kumassi in the Monsoon season at speeds of 90 miles average per hour in torential downpour! Never again! Most scary ride of my life!
My last car was a mitsubishi evo and it had 450 bhp and that thing made your hair stand on end when you put the foot down, best buzz ever! Only down side was that it only did 3mpg so after 2 years i shifted it before it became the ruination of me. Still miss it mind
Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
Aside from track days, Recently had a go in a couple of fast Audis. My mates chipped TTRS which was great fun. Like driving a go kart round town and makes a fantastic noise. Also drove an RS5 the other week, looks nice from the outside but I'm not a fan of Audis inside (other than the TT). Oh, and it was like driving a breeze block with a rocket attchached
I currently have C Class envy as someone at work has just got a new C350 CDI. That'll do for me
Had brief test drives in an S4 and M3 but thats all they were...........test drives with the dealership wallers sat next to you. Down at Silverstone in a couple for weeks for an Aston and Ferrari driving experience so looking forward to that.
Quite fortunate me in that one of my best mates is a multi-millionaire... Over Xmas and NY, while he was in the Bahamas, he "lent" me his Audi R8 Spyder V10 for the best part of 4 weeks. Just over £125K worth (and he covered the insurance) Phenomenally quick, you can't stop yourself booting it everywhere, it was like a drug. His other cars are a Cayenne Turbo S and a Fezzer 45 something or other... Get to have a blast in them too. His mate though has a garage full of stuff petrol heads w**k over, Lotus Esprits, Audi Quattro, S4's, Fezzzers... pride of place is the Merc SLS with the gull wing doors finished in orrible teflon looking paint. Took me out in that the morning after a night out and as soon as I got out I chucked up :-)
http://www.smartuki.com my pal spent a fortune on a smart car. One of these . terrifying as they dont feel very safe .good fun but stopped after five minutes .noise is terrible . Drove an m5 ( v10) with the gripping seats and hud. Favourite thing I have ever drove was a ferrari dino(classic motor car)lovely thing. Ferrari 360 covertible was a head turner BBorrowed it for a day baby blue colour but ate petrol like it was going out of fashion.

Thats upset me, even though they're the 'cock car of choice' taking over the M3 as clarkson recently said, if i see them in my rear view mirror and thinking 'fucking hell thats sommat special'
Seen quite a few being driven up and down the m6, very, very, NICE.....I still want one even though you haven't gave a rave review. Audi's are quite nice inside i think, like a flashy VW in terms of set up....Which i suppose makes sense.
so whos saying am a cock iirc in the last m3 v s4 on top gear the s4 came out first, am not arsed either way, am on my fourth aud.. there not a sports car there a big heavy saloon but handle well IMO my insides the same as this not my pics. so there not all boring
It's the air vents and amount of fiddly plastic buttons on the centre console I hate. Even with sat nav and the click wheel there's still hundreds of the things
The TTRS that I drove was in having some kit fitted for a track day, and the performance garage noticed a few things with it. It's 18 months old, only been into the same Audi dealer previously, there's loads of bolts missing from the engine mount, some of the air con parts have been broke and taped, zip ties used to hold parts of the electrics on. He's suing Audi for selling an unroadworthy vehicle, reckon he'll get a decent motor out of it at least
