Supporters Lozart Posted April 22, 2015 Supporters Posted April 22, 2015 they never end up looking like the concepts lol They've already had to redesign the rear wing for TUV compliance.
Jambo88 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 cant beat a golf I'm not keen on them tbh would rather go for the cee'd or upgrade to a insignia
Supporters Lozart Posted April 22, 2015 Supporters Posted April 22, 2015 My dream car? Saleen S7. Twin turbo V8 beast.
Supporters Lozart Posted April 22, 2015 Supporters Posted April 22, 2015 upgrade to a insignia That right there? That's an oxymoron, that is. M_P 1
Jambo88 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 That right there? That's an oxymoron, that is. Haha what's wrong with the insignia? We hired one when the car was in the garage and it was nice.
Supporters Lozart Posted April 22, 2015 Supporters Posted April 22, 2015 Haha what's wrong with the insignia? We hired one when the car was in the garage and it was nice. They handle badly, the brakes are gash. The SRi is nice but only if you get the 2.0l petrol or the 2.2 diesel. The 1.8 petrol is THE most gutless piece of crap I've ever had the misfortune to drive. The under thigh leg support on the SRi is adjustable which is good, but not so on the lower spec models which means they don't support your leg properly when you're driving. The wing mirrors show you f*ck all and the rear 3/4 vision when reversing is non-existant. Cruise control is too aggressive going uphill and the gearbox is standard GM notchy crap.

Colonel Kurtz Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Mine is very attainable, just need 15K for a good one and only a need to drive it when it's working (couple weeks a year). Lottery wins etc would obviously increase the reach of my dreams for cars, P1 the current one there.

Fantastic car to drive but perfectly fitted the description that it was like having a kit car in reverse. You pay a load of money for a car then it turns into a pile of bits around you.... Josh95 1
Josh95 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 yeah TVR are nice when theyre running, but that usually isnt for long lol. My dad had an old 70's TVR and it broke down more time then i can remember Lozart 1
Colonel Kurtz Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Yeah friend of mine's dad had the same car, and same experience. I had the pleasure/terror of being in the passenger seat a couple of times and was awesome. I think if i won the lottery i'd still buy one these then send it to some fancy refurb company to essentially entirely re-make it out of carbon-fiber and functional mechanics. Perhaps give it an unecessary spoiler or something as my only dislike of TVR's are the rounded 'fat ass' they all have. On closer inspection i think the pic i grabbed from google is actually from GT 5 on PS3 lol.
Supporters Lozart Posted April 23, 2015 Supporters Posted April 23, 2015 I loved driving my mates TVR. V8s are the way forward! When he ditched the TVR he went onto a Dodge Viper which was hilarious (until you tried to park it because it was as wide as Guildford) and now he drives an Aston Martin.
Colonel Kurtz Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Never got to drive it, would have stood better chance of asking for a go on his wife, in that he might have chuckled and said yes as a joke On to a Viper and the Aston eh, that's a pretty damn good progression, getting slightly less bonkers each time, hopefully wont end up in something entirely sensible like a BMW, maybe an M would be fittingly fast.
Supporters Lozart Posted April 23, 2015 Supporters Posted April 23, 2015 He also has a Lotus Exige and an X5 (M-sport package one with the big f-off V8 - does even less MPG than his DB9). Plus a couple of sports bikes...
Mik3y1987 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 tbh i have my dream car my toyota supra so would tune it some more as it has the best engine ever made altho if i had to buy a super car i like i would get an aston martin
scorpia4 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 I can see my threads still going strong after all this time haha. My dream cars still the skyline. But now I've got a motorbike which is also quite fun.
