GM I've never heard of but I just saw it linked on their site and it stands for "General Motors"? Doesn't sound anything special.

The guy round the corner who we use for some of our hauliage had a Maclaren F1 last year, "apparently" he had to loose a lot of weight before he had to buy it. LOL. But he only had it about a year then sold it on because he wasn't liking how much is cost for services and fuel. He has a range rover now. Haha.

Our building landlord has a Lambo, I don't know if I posted the story about it earlier on in the thread? He's never driven it. Friggin nuts.

GM is one of the "big three" american car companies. Their brands are probably more well known. They have Chevy and Cadillac under their belt for example.

Ahh that makes more sence to me, I know Chevy and Cadillac. I'm just looking at Lincoln Continentals, I like them, seen one around not too long ago. Don't know what they are like as an actual car though, they must be more of a yeah look at the toy in my garage type.

Edit: Unless you are American, and then they are probably everywhere.

Kinda. They remind me alot of Rolls Royce but with more menacing styling.

R33 man myself. Always had a soft spot for them seeing as they always seem so unloved.

... because they are the ugly, plain, non-curvy stepchild of the family. :lol:
In stock trim, R33 GTRs are boring and uninteresting. Done right, they look straight up badass. I love the R34, and lust after it, but probably won't ever have one land in my lap.

Regardless, I'm a Nissan loyalist, and look forward to the day I can rejoin the Z family with a 370 or whatever new one they'll have out in a few years.



Of course, I'm partial to my baby...
Unfortunately, the car is now sold. It was sold to allow for me to buy a little newer one, hopefully in bone-stock trim. It was a really fun car, but its age does show. I'm actually debating right now whether to get another or to just enjoy a newer WRX or something. Driving a car equipped with an HKS twin-plate in stop-and-go traffic DID get old real f***ing fast.
A lot of things to list. Ran .8 bar low, 1 bar norm, 1.2 bar high.

The old 350Z. No real performance stuff done. It was fun, though, and I do miss it a lot.

Thinking about a trophy for the daily, ive driven a 172 and they are fun! i was looking at a 1M but then decided i dont want a BMW

And for a holiday, take the trophy round nurburg :lol:

My dad and my cousin both had a E36 M3, driven them both loved em, driven a E92 M3 as well that was stupid quick! if i was gonna get a BMW id get a E30 M3, but they are like £25000 for a clean one....nah

Just think a 1 series is too executive women style!

Edit: only 18K over my budget http://www.driftworks.com/forum/dri...ne-r33-6-0-v8-ls2-579hp-700nm-all-engine.html

Anybody watch Top Gear last night? How did they get into Chernobyl, I presumed nobody at all is allowed in there whether you are from TV or not. :S

Nope, you can quite easily go on a tour there . Its actually easier than getting into North Korea.

Also, kind of sad that there is a discussion about hot hatches and no one has mentioned the Golf GTI. I think a VR6 Mk1 GTI would be amazeballs.

Wow didn't know that, they may as well let people live there then! :lol:

What was the car they had, the orange one, very sexy until it set on fire lol.

They let some people do :L.
Yeah I was really suprised to see that 'car as Top Gear Mag did a feature on it ...ooo three years ago. They had a white one that didn't catch on fire though. I like it as it reminds me of Lambos of old (i.e. mad, overpowered and positively smoking )

I didn't know they did an article on it, I never watch Top Gear usually I just thought I'd stick it on before TNA, but might just watch them in future.

It was a nice car, looked a bag of crap to handle though, until Stig got into it but it came behind a Ford Focus hahaha.

Most likely in an area that's been "clear" or dubbed safe. Their health team wouldn't let them go into any area that could subject them to harmful radiation levels.

Why isn't this the new F1?
