  1. Ah, he has golf clubs and needs boots space... I see why he went for the XF S now :p A TT is nice, but I'm not sure if you'd do yourself many favours with boot space there!

    The new TTs look so much more aggressive, much coolers than the older ones, and the new Audi TT RS coming out will be the new shape with a 5 cylinder engine... bliss!

    New:


    Old:


    Even older:


    I think they improved on it each time :D

    I'm not a fan of the F Pace though. The big SUV thing? That's Jaguar jumping on the big car bandwagon. Porsche did it, Mercedes have done it for ages, Lamborghini are doing it... etc.
    I'm not a big fan of Citroen myself, bar perhaps the C4 Cactus which incorporated interesting designs, and of course the more classic ones, but the DS3s are quite nippy as you say, and they do look alright. They're a lot to do with random colour though, I remember seeing a DS3 club at the local race track and they were all simple colours with a random crazy colour. I guess that goes to show how it looks like a normal car, until it goes crazy :p

    I'd never want one myself but it gets a thumbs up from me I suppose. Thanks for sharing! It's always great when people share stories about cars, because, well, I just don't stop :)

  2. Saw some old Ford Escorts and a Datsun 240Z today! :D

    Goodwood Festival of Speed is tomorrow, so expect a video coming here on Monday (most likely) :)

  4. Went last year and this year, it was great yet again! I need to fix Movie Maker or get a new editing software that is easy to use to get the videos out, but once they're out, I'll drop links to them here :)

    A great looking car, which will be well looked after by the new owner :)

    1. Not an Audi A1, it's an Audi S1 EKS RX quattro ;)
    2. That's not a down shift, the car sound was turbo flutter, where the exhaust gases are no longer spooling the turbine :D
    3. That sound wasn't me, that was my girlfriend Anon next to me :rolleyes:
    Although if I wasn't recording, I probably would have made that sound too :p

  9. My current car. Dark blue Oscar Mike Jeep Patriot 4x4. I looked at a few Patriots and liked this one the best. It's got a star decal on both rear quarter panels and on the hood. It also has custom badged black leather seats. And the most important thing is that when I bought it, a donation was made to the USO (United Services Organization) to help soldiers & their families. That's very important to me.


    My other car - My girlfriends 2013 Hyundai Sonata. It's fast & fun to drive but gets ridiculously good gas mileage. Limo tint on the windows, after market rims & low profile tires, custom stereo...Ruby Rose is her name and she's awesome!

  10. That's really good! Getting donations made while getting a sweet 4x4 vehicle with those interesting decals must be great, I'm sure the vehicle serves you well! :) Don't see too many Jeeps around here but my next door neighbour has a Grand Cherokee :D
    Having a fun car and good fuel economy are two great things to put together, because you still get those smiles while you get the miles too! :) Hyundai isn't really my thing but everyone likes different things and it does as you say have good economy! Nice!
  11. LOL, does it matter when the article was written?

    The article was written in 2014 and the car was released in 2015.:eek:

    I think you and I have a different definition of nice. :p
  12. It doesn't matter when it was written, it just matters the way you talk about it. You posted "Shelby to produce" as if it hadn't happened yet, but as you just said, it has. Just the way your wrote the post.

    Gymkhana still involves drifting just like drift battles do, how do our definitions of nice differ?
  13. Ah, I see how you got confused. I posted the title of the article. I didn't write it, I just copied it.

    I was kidding you for calling a Shelby Cobra nice. I can think of many words to describe it and nice wouldn't be any of them. Since we can't cuss on the forums I'll call it awesome and leave it at that.
  14. Okay, well next time, making it a little clearer would help!

    Okay... VERY nice? Amazing? :) There's many words you can choose instead of a cuss word. Awesome works! :D
  15. I have been told that I will be getting our tax refund back to find a project car. Here's hoping someone is selling a late model S13 or S14 around May!

  16. I'm a fan of the S14 but an even bigger fan of the S13. S13 is the way to go! They look really good :)



    If you get one then be sure to send in some photos to the thread, or at least drop me a PM some time :D Sounds like a good plan, x!
