There's quite a few flash motors in our car park (consultants and all that ). Plenty of Boxters (no problem), Lotus Elises (no problem), a few M3's (no problem) but two Aston Martin DB7's and a couple of Porsche Carerras that would cause problems!

We have a huge car park with lots of cars parked (100+) and mines is the fastest there! That is until some git started to bring his 911 Turbo along every now and again - it doesn't have much trouble stealing my thunder

It's close call between the Renault Espace, the Chrysler Neon (it is the R/T model!), 1.4 Astra with Irmscher back box, Rover 820 and the wheelie bin. Out of that lot, the wheelie bin seems likeliest competitor.

Equally as fast (perhaps) but not faster. Colleague has a MY00 same as mine, except colour. Though I swapped my ECU from 802 -> 801 at the weekend so I might have the edge now

Bosses TT 225 (she thinks it is, but no )
Other than that, just a TD Merc and a Rav 4.... I'm safe!

Next door is a nice 911 Carrera 4 (I'll leave that alone methinks) and next door but one a TVR Chimera and several race prepared MG Migets which I'm a bit unsure about....

Loads

Fair few F360s and 355s - although the sales guys have been told not to bring them in (something about staff morale ). New Merc SL55 AMG thingy (same as Clarksons car) - very quick motor. Couple of M3s, couple of nice AMG E class Mercs - loads of other Mercs - fell asleep trying to identify them though , M5, quite a few Scoobs, Evo VII FQ-300, Corvette, Caterham (probably quicker than any of the above in the dry ), numerous Boxster's, and a couple of 911s.

Think that's it

...right now I'm looking out at my Pug 206 with "accident repair centre" plastered all over it. What (if anything) would I even keep up with is the challenge at the mo!

Scooby coming back in apx 3 weeks though then there's almost nothing in the car park that'll touch me
