    Lancia Delta - yummy!

    My most fun was probably the Lotus Exige - we had two and the throttle on the first one used to stick so that was a particular type of fun (aaargh! type fun) but the replacement that they gave us was FABULOUS fun!

    But I also loved my Evo and my Noble ... now I am a sensible mummy with only a WRX but they weren't edge of yer seat fun in the same way.

    Years ago I used to have the use of a beetle, pink and covered in flower decals, with a porsche engine in it - that was mighty scary as the Beetle couldn't really cope with the power of the Porsche BUT it was great fun to get on the M1 and wait til some sad rep in a Sierra came up behind you and just FLOOR it and see their frantic reaction trying to keep up.

      i suppose the fun of the Noble is wondering when the front will be smashed off by a sleeping policeman

      PS Churchill, which Porsche have you got?

      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Cars are not fun they are dangerous unnecessary middle class toys that are proven 100% to destroy the Earth. You have been warned.

                  Yeah yeah heard all that 'Gay' crap before, worth driving a Racing Puma not the bogo standard 1.7. Not the fastest but could out handle most stuff, plus it was cheap to run and insure. I went to an Audi S3 after the Puma, had the Audi remapped out to 270bhp, and though the Audi is better built and not as 'gay', in terms of driver satisfaction I defo prefered the Puma.

                  Clean one in the case of the Puma means, something that hasnt been tracked alot. The Racing Puma is a different beast to the standard Puma.

                      My currant one... Civic Type-R, it has the ride of a go-kart with an engine and gearbox like a motorbike which takes some getting used to as most cars red line at 6000rpm it just doesn't feel right to keep your foot in but it really starts to fly when the Vtec kicks in and goes all the way to 8000rpm

                      The most fun car I have ever driven was a formula ford single seat race car... brown pants and sweaty palms but a big grin all day.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
