What Toy next ??As the WR1 is going and i have no need for a car during the week.
What car should i have in the garage. (no atoms) I'm prepaired to spend anything upto Type R
I've always fancied a fantastic condition 1970s Gordon Keeble with a 5.7 litre Chevy engine. Or maybe a 22B. Both good investments in the long term (10+ yrs). TVR Cerbera's are well sorted now - I should know, and great cars for holiday touring. V8 AJPs sound great too - as Clarkson said - it was the second best sounding engine ever - after a Ferrari something. JC said the AJP sounds 'like two lesbians in a bucket'!

TVR - are you mad !!!
Lotus Exige - now your talking, had a passenger ride around Donnington Park in one - unbelievable performance, great noise and lovely looking.
a big pink vibrator, if you ask marky mark he will advise where to get the "BIGGEST" deal
porker mate Crash bang wollop!!
Nah. A real man drives fast on the public road, no need for a track.
Audi Sportquattro, Lancia Delta S4, Peugeot 205T16.
Love em - if i didnt have the evo, then i think it would be one of these. A 240R in black, very, very
Forget TVR's. I read a newspaper article that stated they laid off 1/4 of their staff due to financial difficulties. Apparently they will be bust in 6 months if no one rescues them.
Second car for me would have to be a new-style GT40 Anders Engine: FMIC with K&N CAIK, Oil Catch Can & MD321H turbo. Next mod: TBD
Brakes: Turbo Groove Discs, Pagid RS29's & Braided Hoses. Suspension: Whiteline front and rear ARB's, ALK
Left an Exige miles behind at Knockhill in my old P1. Still say a 22B by now should have been sorted and a future classic, if not now. The new Noble got a great review in EVO or Car. Pick up an old M12?
A proper driver in an Exige (especially a 240R) would leave pritty much any other road car behind around a race track.
I once overtook a Noble at a Trackday at Donnington Park (in my Saxo !!!) and a friend couldnt keep up with a 306GTI in his evo 6 - means nothing, absolutely nothing. The 22b is a car, but I didnt realise they had reliability issues. So due to both that and their age now I doubt whether it would be a good idea. Something newer would deffo be my advice - how about the new Caterham CSR, 0- 60 in 3.1 secs
The question is whether Mark needs car for the track or a car to have fun on normal roads at weekends.
How about a Renault Sports Spider ?
Second hand Z3 M ? (heard it was slightly overpowered for the chassis. In my dictionary that means 'Perfect' ).
Nah what about MK2 RS 2000 with a cossie lump in it or even better a MK1 RS 2000, retro cool by the bucket load!
You should hook up with ScoobyDan with ideas like that! All weekend we have been looking at cars and he kept getting distracted by dodgy Fords driving past!
That's probably because they were driven by gorgeous 6' blondes... How about an RS4, mark ?
interesting thought. I've always been tempted to go and have a go in one to se what they're like, but wouldnt know where to go? would any nissan dealers have any ?
Dont think you would find one at a dealer,
Mostly second hand buys now, Im at work with not alot to do so i will have a look round see what i can find... Last edited by Gazman2054 on Mon May 15, 2006 2:51 pm, edited 1 time in total.
