Jaguar "D Type" zipping up the m5, no idea if it was genuine but it looked and sounded 8-)

Brave driver if it was genuine as the m5 was heaving.

A lovely shiny black Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 (I think) in Boroughbridge. What a lovely thing!

There's a few Alfa Gulia Quadrifoglios around but I've only seen them parked up until the other day.

My old Busso V6 sounded great but this was on a whole other level. When the driver gave it a quick squirt I damned near dehydrated myself.

They were called Nissan EXA and Pulsar EXA here. I wouldn't be surprised if they went by Sunny in other markets.
No idea what was going on with the paint.

I found this an interesting discussion on PH about them being "too much for the road"

Too much dollar for me though :lol:

I think it's an odd opinion probably from someone who is luckily young enough not to have any experience of cars without abs, TC etc 😃

Powerful cars move around even with TC. What did he expect !

Opinions are like arseholes… And that one is particularly shitty :lol:

If you want to think like that you might as well stick with a 60 bhp Polo - can bang that sucker off the limiter almost all gears and use all the power and it will stay more planted than any supercar.

There was a more boring variant sold in the U.K. as the Sunny Coupe.

Ah yeah, I just looked them up and the UK one is much less interesting.

This is very cool

Just had a skim, did they not even test drive before buying ? Do they know they don't have to use full throttle all the time ?

I was chasing a FF and 488 Spider earlier. In my Defender. With a trailer. Loaded with 2 tonnes of log cabin. They seemed to be trying too as they couldn’t keep it between the white lines. Cutting every corner that has visibility :lol:

Forgot to mention but we did a bit of glamping in West Sussex for a few days last week - didn't get the chance to do much fun driving whilst down there but I spent 20 odd miles tanking along behind an orange 991.2 GT3 RS on the way down the M23. No pics unfortunately.

Funny thing is that the driving experience sounded very arcade game with the PDK 'box. Every time he put his foot down you'd just hear the engine note go 'buhh' 'bohh' 'bahhh' and then a blare of noise but nothing particularly soulful surprisingly. Sat behind in mine at 4k in 5th on half throttle - it has a great howl with the crossover pipes removed - arguably the better thing for 'enjoying' a UK motorway when the difference between 380 (*cough* 350) and 500hp can't make itself felt before you catch up with something slow moving in front of you. I'm sure at a track or on a B road it would be quite different :lol:

It did look amazing however and the wing looked outrageous when you're sat behind it on the move.
