are there many car enthusiasts on SBF

[M3NTALIST]

i just thought i'd find out if theres any SBF members into there cars.

i have only just got my 1st bike so not much to talk about there, but i have had performance cars for 20 years.

at the moment ive got an M3 which i have had for near 3 years, its getting towards the time where i would normally change it but now im starting on bikes i will keep hold of this for a while longer, its been a very good car in the time ive had it but quite expensive (to me) running costs and if i was doing 10,000+ miles a year i probably wouldnt keep it but as i only do 4,000 miles it stays affordable, and now i have a bike that mileage will probably drop anyways.

show us what you've got

heres mine.

did you get the indicator pack on that model ?

ive got a 54 plate passat thats been to the moon and its on its way back now , never missed a beat and have a massive dent in the door .. but ya not getting a pic lol

[M3NTALIST]

i'll be honest, i never heard of the indicator pack so i would imagine its not on this model.

and the best thing about VW is theyre made for big miles so once its back from the moon it'll probably fancy a propper ride out next time

Nice car, did you nick it ??

I'm on my 8th Vauxhall and my 3rd Vectra, I used to have a Westfield SEiW a few years ago, and when I find a pic I'll post it

I love performance cars too, just recently got a 370Z. Was considering a Z4M or M3, will probably go for one after the Nissan. That or a Cerbera

[scooby]

ooo Gaz,your a dark horse,never took you for a car man.

as for me,always had sports cars for the ;last 20 yrs (scoobies,M3,porkers etc) but have settled on a pathfinder atm bit more suitable for my what i need right now.no doubt in a few yrs time i'll have something else sports wise,or when biking gets too painfull,a track car instead.

oH and Gaz,has to be the TVR

I can't drive and don't own a car but I like them and have been fortunate enough to be a passenger in a few good 'uns 

Eventually ( )I will drive and i'm dreading the first time I arrive at traffic after a loooong night shift,0745,rush hour traffic and I start to filter...

Scariest/most impressive cars i've travelled in have always,without a shadow of a doubt, been simple little boring cars (think 1.1 Saxo,1.8D Fiesta,1.6 Fiat thing) driven by a fooking lunatic out to impress a biker.

Those drivers are bastards and should be avoided at all costs.

I love the sound of a flat 6 Porshe being given the beans - as an impressionable 10 year old, a friends' uncle had a 1973 911 and it sounded lovely - as an impressionable 40-odd year old I still love the sound (even if it's a GT2 proving that a good driver in a good car on warm,twisty roads is easily the match of any leather-clad biker).

Stand-out moments:

Macca in the 5 cylinder Turbo Audi Quattro - how much grip?!!! 

Macca in a MkII Golf with a 1.8 TT turbo motah - how much torque steer?!!! 

Doug in a Fiat Brava (!!!) - finally realising that the quickest thing on the road isn't the most powerful,lightest,biggest engine,etc etc - no,it's the shitter driven by someone without fear (or sense of mortality  ).



I'm sure there will be a couple of twats reading this thinking "you can't drive so stfu" - F U

Gaz, go for the TVR, Sagaris maybe ????

Pics of my Westfield, sold because I saw the light and bought a bike

there's just something about the sound of the boxer engine,1 of the reasons i like the scoobies.

i like the look of the 370Z but have never been in one. the cerbera is an animal and not bad money now either, especially if you go for yellow . a friend of a friend was trying to sell his yellow one for about 18 months before he took what seemed like a very low offer for it.

all i needed to do was think before i type .  you got me and didnt even have to try that hard.

im sure clarckson said that  audi drivers are the new tw*t of the road

[M3NTALIST]

i had these two classic shapes for a total of 7 years and so fancied a change (to the M3) also influenced by a corsa that stoved the back of the 2 door in. great cars especially the 2nd one made me seem like a really good driver

[scooby]

i do like the looks of the 2 door,was very close to buying a type r(a) but the gear ratio's put me off a bit,had my sti v5 for about 5 yrs(been gone a year now  ) i think,loved it and never had 1 problem with it.will find a pic somewhere,and of the beemer,although i was going through my hairdresser stage in life (convertible,anniversary model,so a bit of a gay colour)

nice cars 

my other half has the m-sport version, hefty tyre bills 

i've been in to cars since i care to remember, although from around 1994ish when i started getting into road bikes more my interest in cars faded a bit.
my first road legal car was a mk1 scirroco, followed by a supersport then astra gte's, rs turbos, xr2/3's, rs1600i, r5gt, 205 gti's, golf gti's, mk1/2 escorts rs's etc... etc... most of them modified in some way or another.
i also built a kit car a few years back 

i drive a sprinter van now
