The car thread 2.

Nice Celica!
I'll have to have a look at these S2Ks when I eventually tire of mine. It was mentioned by several including Colin when I was initially looking. Quite the endorsements for it on this site!

Saw a GT86 the other day driving past...

Made my head turn, guess I don't think it is that bad then.

[nakamura]

My car has tons of scratches!

[Brad]

I guess it depends where you are in the world but I rarely see them on the road. There's a black and a ginger one around here that I see now and then.

Just been looking at S2000 photos. Love the stock look but also some of the pimped out ones are really nice too.

[Colin]

I keep seeing a blue BRZ around where I live and I really like it, GT86's seem fairly popular as I know a few in the area. That Irn Bru colour is actually pretty cool in the metal.

[speedlolita]

Yes, the one I saw was the Irn Bru colour.

[Brad]

The ginger seemed too extreme at the time but if I was to buy now then I'd probably go for it. Or the yellow Giallo

I saw a white 911 yesterday. The back looked different to normal. Must do a search and see what it was that I saw. I liked it anyway.

EDIT: It was a GT3!

[Colin]

I just want something I can thrash the crap out of without replacement parts costing the earth. (The ?3k clutch for the Aston was a strong lesson!) Also that I don't look stupid in it at the ripe old age of 41, which rules most hot hatches out.

[Brad]

A roadster or a coupe seems the ticket then. Saw a black 370z the other day that looked really nice. Don't know enough about them to know if it had been modded in any way or was standard. I'm guessing a GTR falls into the same category as the Aston regarding repair costs?

[speedlolita]

The GT-R looks like a 10 year old should be driving it. I mean, I know it is technically impressive an' all that but visually it isn't the prettiest car you've ever seen. Probably be a little cheaper than an Aston to maintain though.

The 370Z just looks like a riced 350Z too, not a huge fan of those either. Stock 350Z are pretty nice though, especially in gold.

[Colin]

It's a puzzler to be honest, there aren't many fun cars that you don't look a twonk in as a more.......er............mature man. I'm going to have the XF as the car with a bit of refinement and class, so looking at the fun car being sub ?20k preferably*.










*Charles, this is your invite to start posting a bazillion pics of weird modified Japanese boy racermobiles.

[Brad]

350 vs 370 is a big debate!

[speedlolita]

I'd rather a 300ZX over either of them any day.

The 370 is just a 350 with more though, to my eyes.

[Colin]

240Z is the only Z car worth getting excited about IMO.

[nakamura]

I'd agree. I like the 300 but it's not exactly a brilliant car. Heavy and not that reliable. 350 is decent and handles pretty well.
