Any car on the market do it for you?
 
So little interest in most cars these days. What's on offer just utterly boring and so uninteresting.. Only got two that do it for me:-

1. Renault Alpine 110. Yes please
2. Alfaa Giulia GTA. Yes please

Maybe an Audi Avant RS4 or RS6. Otherwise, car market just so rubbish at moment. Think classics way to go

Had this in earlier in the week:

Had a supercharger upgrade, so useless as a daily driver :D ;)

+1 for the Giulia, looks lovely.

Although I’m into hatch/fastbacks and estates at the moment for practicality ...difficult to get stuff in that body shape with the right drivetrain (big engine with 5+ cylinders that not over-reliant on a turbo to give it the torque, proper manual gearbox, AWD and suspension that works on our roads).

BMW m5 is doing it for me in 2016 f10 flavour

The Trooper 1815 25 March 2020 12:04 PM

The MX5 as been a mainstay for some time. Mazda seem to be on point with their current designs. It was mentioned on TG and I have to agree.

hedgecutter 25 March 2020 02:40 PM

S206 or Ts Ra for me

Just bought a NC (mk3) hardtop to replace my mk2.5 and I love it, the new one is gorgeous and still a drivers car.

Your a tall guy can you drive it with the roof up?

Rusti 27 March 2020 08:55 AM

haha fair point, she actually has more room than you would think because the floor pan is so low plus the seat can adjust up and down :thumb:

+1 Alpine A110
Cayman 918 GTS 4.0
Civic Type R (new stealthier one only, though)
AMG A45 S

There just doesn't seem to be many affordable, compact-sized, 'driver's cars' on sale today.

Markyscoob 27 March 2020 06:57 PM

Tesla. Model 3 Performance. Drove one and saving up slowly....

They are horrible (IMHO)

The Roadster is Stunner. Rest of the range looks like an old Ford Escort. Sorry! But they do

lozgti1 28 March 2020 02:04 PM

Take in good humour Mark :D

lozgti1 28 March 2020 02:06 PM

TBH just looked at website. Doesn't look too bad!' Might actually be with you on this !

Markyscoob 10 January 2021 06:04 PM

I'm still saving....luckily I bought some Tesla shares too.. that helps a lot!

SmurfyBhoy 10 January 2021 07:09 PM

A90 Supra with that B58 engine
GR Yaris
The coming Tesla Model S Plaid with its claimed 8 sec 1/4
New M3‐M4 if can get over the look

Then on the extreme lotto win level

Merc Project 1 with the 1.5L F1 engine
Aston Valkarie with that V12 spinning to 12krpm
Gordon Murrays new Mclaren F1 replacement
Lotus Evija (or whoever you spell it)



Henrik 12 January 2021 01:58 PM

For an affordableish car, I quite fancy the Toyota Yaris GR: https://www.toyota.co.uk/world-of-to...cing/gr-yaris/

4wd with torsen LSDs, modern turbo.

Could be fun, for only 33500 :)

scotty boy 80 12 January 2021 02:03 PM

Had a test drive in the new civic type r and it's a stunning car, ticks so many boxes

Godspeed Brakes 12 January 2021 02:58 PM

I've just gone from an AMG A45 to a circuit pack Yaris , and its a lot more fun , obviously not as well built , or as many creature comforts as the Merc , but it puts more of a grin on my chops !
The other 2 cars are great fun as well , don't know when rallying will start up again but looking forward to using the Swift

Nice fleet.
What's the spec of the Swift?

It was built by Suzuki Motorsport in Denmark to the S2000 rules over there , so N/A 2.0 full spec dry sumped engine supposedly 280-290hp , Sadev 6 speed sequential gearbox , Ohlins 3 way suspension , Alcon calipers under 18" wheels , Proto cars wide arch body kit , it's a very good spec , well built car as you would expect from a works team , goes like hell !
