....and don't show off and say another Porsche

My last car was an Audi TT Coupe 260BHP, Bodykit, BOSE, RS4 alloys -

Who had the worst car. ie Fiat Panda and don't be ashamed[:)]
 
My last car was a BMW 325ci.........which was nice. I'd had a LR Disco before the BWM. You can guess the kids are getting mobile, no need to taxi, no football teams to transport.

So no-one has owned a Panda.

Looks like BMW drivers are the ones who are really drooling when we power past them. I had a BMW 328CI and must admit it was one of the best cars ive ever had, but on the M25 this morning I spotted 2 Carrera's and 7489 BMW's and every one of them watched me go by[:D]
 
I did learn to drive in a Panda - but it wasn't mine to own. Just mine to abuse. I wonder why it failed it's first MOT for clutch, brake drums & suspension all on the verge of failure?

Re drooling BMWs.... the highlight of the trip home from the OPC in my nice new shiny C4S cab was slipping past a 3 series with the driver's head locked forward in the I will not drool position, but with his son's face pressed against the rear window, mouth open, eyes wide....

Agree re everyone & their dog having a 3. More 3s sold than Mondeos, I hear.
 
LOL Michael. "I WILL NOT DROOL POSITION"

Have you noticed when you drive past a bus full of people and you know they are ALL looking at you. When you turn your head to see them they all turn away. Its just so funny.

C4S Cab is a beautiful car by the way and I can't stop looking either[:)]

Oh - every time!

How about watching the antics of people desperate not to let you out of a side turning? Quite fun to watch - makes it worth staying there..
 
X-type and 911SC. I have to say though there are times whae I wish I still had the X-type. So easy and bland to drive - for those days when you are just too tired to enjoy driving but the Porsche always says "Wake Up master " even when I just sit in her.
As for people looking - I always find that males drivers will always let me out of side tunrings in heavy traffic simply because they would rather look at the tail of a Porsche than any other bland looking vehicle where as many female drivers don't - do you find the same?
 
Boxster 2.5 (sorry).

On the Panda thread, my wife swapped hers for a Caterham (with a small cash adjustment!). Not a bad progression [:D]
 
....and I swapped my Caterham (and Beemer 3 series) for my Boxster. May go 993 next but will eventually (fingeres crossed) get to a 996.
 
No Panda, but......

Fiat Uno 60s (the S meant a lot to me [:D] )
Peugeot 306 DTurbo
Peugeot 306 XSI
Peugeot 104XS
Toyota MR2 Roadster
Boxster S
996 3.4 Tip
996 C4S

I have to agree with Grant re being let out of junctions by guys wanting, I presume, to look at the back of the car. The only people that never do that is.....BMW drivers. Don't quite understand that (wife drives one and she does not demonstrate such traits...normally)

Nice one Adrian.
In ascending order
Raleigh Grifter (Bike)
Saab 99GL Fantastic car, (ended up being crushed between two lorries on the A31 at Farnham)
Renault Gordini Turbo (blew the turbo, after forgetting to change up)
vauxhall cavalier (rep mobile)
Rover 414 (Another rep mobile)
BMW 323! (envy of the neighbourhood)
Saab 900
Audi TT 180 (Not bad)
Audi TT 225 (superb when chipped)
Porsche 996 C4 (THE ULTIMATE)
[:)]
 
My next car will be my first 996...in fact it'll be my first Porsche.

But up to this point the list goes like this:
Vauxhall Nova 1.0 (Base model!)
Vauxhall Nova 1.4 SR
VW Mk3 Golf GTI
Honda Integra Type-R - awesome drivers car!
Audi S3
...added a Mk3 Golf GTI 16v Anniversary

Next step, the S3 goes to be replaced with a 996.
