Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 24, 2011 The only ' other person's ' car I really wanted to drive was Pat McCrotch's R32. I'm not normally a fan of modern VAGs but because of what Neil did to it, I was itching to have a go. Revo 270ish horse map, Haldex sport controller, Haldex sport switch, 19" Golf R rims, Eibach springs etc etc. The DSG really makes these cars. Without it I don't think it's half the car personally, the snappy throttle marries together with the snappy DSG shifts absolutely perfectly and the launch control is just fantastic :D Obviously no where near as quick as my C, except the 0-30 traction, but soooooooo smooth and civilised, but still has a twang of animalness about it because of the exhaust bypass valves. Awesome. I think Neil really misses it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laser Mark 0 Posted January 24, 2011 My Dads mate had a Lexus IS200 sport, managed to blag a go behined the wheel. It was great fun as at the time I was driving a Pug 106 1.1 XN Then a couple of years later I had a go in his Scuby WRX STi something or other. Scared the crap out of him, never laughed so hard as he was grabbing the seat, dash and door handle for support. Now he's got an Audi RS4 avant, not had a go in that yet. But waiting! Also had a go in a mates XR3i about 13 years ago. The car had some extras but I can't remember what. And my uncles Jag S type 3 and his new VW Touareg, 3.0 TDi, both where nice smooth rides. Supprisingly little body roll in the Touareg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted January 24, 2011 I've been lucky enough to drive many many cars which aren't mine, but the one that I'd love to drive and haven't is my Uncles Lotus 7. Not Caterham, original Lotus 7. I've driven his Vanquish, but no one drives the 7...... ironically not even him 364 days of the year! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeteL 0 Posted January 25, 2011 I am very fortunate to drive many manufacturer demos through work, but our MD had one of these for while (X6M) and i managed do get a drive, despite being a hideous car in an even worse colour, 550bhp in something so large is an experience you don't forget in a hurry...

Timbo 0 Posted January 25, 2011 I think if I got a Fiat Coupe the first thing I'd do would be to buy several tins of filler and delete those stupid slit things above the wheels. They spoil an otherwise very pretty car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIMONG 0 Posted January 25, 2011 unfortunatly he has "broke" the car for parts as he was struggling to sell it and wasnt really that expensive for you were getting. all the good stuff like aqua jet, huge turbo, intercooler etc went really quick. sold the engine in bits head, camshafts, bottom end. he got more breaking it then he wanted for selling it! i did manage to get the front calipers of him though, 4 pot brembo's! :norty: i will speak to him and find out all the spec of him and let you know. the lines in the wing match the bonnet and bumper, without them might look a bit odd! :scratch: but saying that it is a bit of an odd looking car in the first place. arnt those X6's meant to be a load of poo?

one_eyed_willy 0 Posted January 25, 2011 my dads car, used to let me borrow it anytime. even ended up storing it in my garage as i used it more than him. Till he sold it :( :( i'll never forgive him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteL 0 Posted January 26, 2011 arnt those X6's meant to be a load of poo? yes and no...for such a large car they are very capable and hate to admit an enjoyable drive, the 35d is particularly impressive. However they are less practical than an X5, ugly and actually not very good in snow or off road. however i did once get a ride in this, not sure if it counts cos it at a track day but..
