There might be a tiny, little hint of jealousy there
My dad let me drive his car a month or two ago out on the country roads... The fastest thing I'd driven before that was a normally aspirated Subaru Forester once or twice at a touch over 110bhp or so. It was as heavy as the moon though.
Having stepped out of my 1.4 8v Fabia into a supercharged slk... All I can say is "Holy mother f****** god!" :-D
I want one :blink:
I'm pretty lucky, the Golf is brand new (as of Jan 08) and I've had the opportunity to drive a series of pretty quick cars...
ML 320 Diesel (Our Chelsea Tractor for use in Cheshire
)
350z Convertible ("Uncle" out in America let me drive it. gets to 90 fast
)
S500 (Old style one, beautiful interior, very well kept. Again, in America. Black with Cream leather.)
Aston Martin Vantage (Real Uncle's Aston here in England. Very scary car. Didnt go fast, too scared of crashin. But 50 in second and being only half way up the revs is amazing.)
CL 180 AMG (Crap speed, crap sequential slow gearbox, but a nice car overall. Just underpowered. Courtesy car for when the ML was in.)
Chrysler 300 (Rental car in america. More strength in a rice pudding, but whatever.... nice car.)
1.6 Ford Street Ka (Roof down, legs round neck pressing pedals, pink seats with "Powered By Fairydust" on the back... man I looked gay. But nippy.)
I think theres one or two more but, those are all I can remember, so anything else must have been pretty minor. I guess I'm a lucky bastard but, with things I'm going through IRL right now, I'd give up alot of the material stuff I do have to change it...
Anyway... before I go emo. My first car was the 1.4l Civic 98 Hatchback. I loved it. Very light, very fun. Very white, actually, easy to clean.
Edit: Oh. Remembered. Had 5 minutes in the top model of Range Rover Sport, Supercharged jobby. For alot of mass, that thing is insane.
There, done.
