UK's best driver's car
 

Coming from me I am sure you can see what's coming ;)

Driver's Car

Meh, I have nothing against Porsche, I love them and would have plenty of the models they have churned out over the years. However, I still think it is telling that every time (since I was a boy) a Ferrari, Aston, or Lambo drives past I have danced around trying to get a better view. Not so with Porsche unfortunately.

And just to really wind you up....I got all excited at seeing a GTR today as well ;) :p

This was parked in the carpark at a job i was doing in manchester, Very nice car complete fitted factory fitted scaffolding in the rear....

Double Post!!

Triple Post!!!! LOL...

Lol, who needs a double posting error when you've got a triple posting error :eek:

Fortunately I don't choose my cars based on whether you would drool over them ;)

Oh, and just for the record I usually will have a gawp at the GT-R as well :D

I know someone who has one, and it really is an amazing car.

Go on Trout..... you know you want to!!!!

:D

found a pic of you trout:D

I think that is Walter Rohrl ;)

He has a lot more hair than me :p ;)

The GT3 is too an obvious choice. Besides I wouldn't put supercars in the runnings due to their price tag - we don't all have Trout's means.:lol1:

May I suggest an S2000 or something like that? For me it has to have a manual box and RWD. An MX-5 is just too ghey.

I saw a Cayman parked outside a hair saloon today.

Just thought I'd say.;)

just a minute

, 7 people ( blokes) found the best , UK car , to come from Germany


Doesnt quite make sense to me

GT3 has RWD and a manual box.

It was compared to cars of all levels. Of course if the assessment was best value driver's car than I would agree. But it wasn't.

If it was purely UK cars then you would have a Reliant Robin v. London Cab ;)

Yeah I know it is a manual RWD but I guess from my post it was not clear I knew that.

If it's a pure Drivers can though how is a Caterham not better?

But if someone said you could have any of them, we all know you'd take the Ferrari!

For legal fun, Puma is my favourite.

...the only Ferrari that does anything for me is the 599 GTO. When I first saw the pictures of the 458 I loved it, but the crush didn't last.

But if I won the lottery I know exactly where I money would be spent ;)

I am sure a Caterham would be a contender. But is it better? The only one that is quicker point to point than the RS is the insane R500. Brilliant but mental. I suspect it would be easier to go quicker in the RS, even with traction turned off.

If it was on a value for money basis on a smaller budget I'd have to say (biased naturally) the 1.9 205 GTi. Easily, easily he most fun drivers car I have ever owned. So involving and excellent handling to boot.

And you won't get wet in the GT3.

Caterhams are great for the 10 dry days we get in the UK each year!!!

The VTS was way, way, way more fun than the Puma John. Handled better and had a far more willing engine. Great little cars, although I'd not want to crash either of them :eek:

Must say I've found them to be the ugliest modern Porsche. Those red wheels and tacky stuck on graphics look ridiculous. To take a near £100k car and then put £10 worth of stickers on the side and spray paint the wheels a bizarre colour is just madness. I wouldn't be seen dead in one (would love one without the tacky add ons though)

No. You don't own a 997 GT3 RS do you?;)

I was most shocked about their assessment of the RS5. Every other review I've read about that car has been less than glowing. Being 'surefooted' as they say doesn't make it a good drivers car

Coming to a certain SNetter soon..... :lol1:


(I don't mean you!)

Surprised at that as when you took me down a road in your VTS it was skipping around over bumps and unstable under braking. On the same road the Puma was supple and planted but still interactive and delicate. VTS felt like it was about to find one hedge or the other in a hurry. Maybe it didn't feel like that to drive?

I remember that drive too :freak3: - and it was skipping all over the place.

I had a 1.7 Puma for 18 months as a company car when they first came out - love it to bits - gets my shout as well.

It is a little garish to say the least!!

And you can get them sans decals.

I think that is the idea; to somehow be beyond the vulgarity of the look.
