I have to say Im with you JoT, a TVR owning work colleague once said to me whilst I was trying to decide between a new TVR and a 5year old Aston - "If the gentleman can afford an Aston Martin, then the gentleman should purchase the Aston Martin..." He was probably right.... I bought a Lotus in the end and had my TVR fix later, go figure!?
:huh:
:D


I flirted with the idea of putting my name down for the new baby Aston v8 and worrying about paying for it when it arrived etc. when I was in the UK... Im glad I didnt now... like all luxury and sporty European cars, theyre 1.5x the UK price here
:(

It wasn't long ago that the UK was one of the most expensive countries for buying new cars. Now we have the cheapest prices in Europe apparently! The downside is that the dealers have to make their money elsewhere, so maintainance costs (servicing/spares etc.) have sky-rocketed

So named for its output (550 horsepower), the GT550 also delivers 575 pound-feet of torque. Gemballa modifies the twin-turbo 3.6-liter flat-6 engine, fitting a new stainless steel exhaust system with metal catalysts as well as a modified engine management system. Gemballa says the GT550 will gallop from zero to 60 mph in less than 3.8 seconds â€" even less with overboost.

TOP SPEED is pushed to 198 mph.

Mazda 121 auto, which is basically a re-badged Fiesta Mk4

Only intended to keep it a year as I needed something practical for a while.

Had it four years now - it just won't die and doggedly passes every MOT without issue, so I still have it.

My MK1 996 GT3 Club Sport (pictured here in the savage compression of the Bomb hole at Snetterton)

I've had this car 3 years now & I'm still learning to drive it to it's limits. I'm getting close & the learning curve has certainly flattened out of late so when my mechanic said I needed new dampers I decided to dig deep & upgrade. I've just laid out nearly £2k :eek: for sexy new KW adjustable springs & dampers (being fitting next week).

Litterally can't wait until the 6th of March at Oulton Park when I'm on track for the first time since last October :)
