|  Mates cars
What interesting cars do your mates and friend drive? Are you jealous or do you have the best car in your circle of associates?
I also have a friend with a nice S6 which I've had a drive of.

One of my mates has a ferrari 360, but he won't hand me the keys to it.
He rents it out for weddings and such.
One of my other mates used to have a BMW Evo cab that I was always swiping the keys to in the summer.
The one I really want a go in is my mates S2 Escort Rs Turbo.
He's had it over 10 years and it's absolutely mint.

My mate who owns his own garage has an Evo VIII FQ-300. The only car on the road that i would love to own really. Went for a passenger drive in it the other week and jeez they are quick!!
But i also would love to own an Escort Cosworth! If only i was a millionaire! | |

Most of my mates think (or know  ) Im insane where cars are concerned so we dont ever get into the comparison thing.
I do have quite a few who drive skylines (from the owners club) Most drive big bhp cars so mine isnt special at all.
They are far more interested in the 32GTR I am restoring to factory spec. | |

I've got a good mate with a Corsa VXR. I'm waiting to have a go in that.
I also know plenty of BMW owners so there are a fair few M3s, M5s, M6s and all sorts. Used to know a fair few other guys with Skylines, Evos and Scoobies but don't bother with that club anymore (way to clicky and only care about their own cars).
Not really too bothered if they have nice cars. I like mine and will one day join them.

& another friend of mine is cursing me for introducing him to Zcars, because he's now seriously thinking of buying one as a weekend toy.

Pah! Motorbike engines are for girls, that's a 2L MR2 engine right there, & an Eaton supercharger is being nailed on as we speak ready for next season.  | |

A mate of mine has a Black GTR which is very nice and he's not afraid to drive it like it's been stolen! He won't let me drive it though! | |

| Re: Mates cars
quite alot of my mates are into their cars too and some of them im not to keen on but appreciate the time, money and effort that has gone into them, i.e. one has a 300bhp pug 205 gti with an mi16 na lump in it, goes like a rocket but does nothing for me, would rather have the kick of a turbo lol | |

My best mate has a rather nice Ibiza 1.4, and an ex work colleague has a Seat Leon Cupra R, that has an uprated turbo, remap and some other goodies, now that was quick!
