Junior Supercar Day

I was thinking about getting my daughter a supercar driving experience for her birthday. But, having read Sanjoys posts about the cheap cars ex performance hire cars at auction I did some digging. I read up a bit on a certain performance car hire company I wanted to make sure that this deal was with...

Re: NLC Porsche Boxster Owners

I like the Peter Morgan boxster buying guide, but always buy one before buying any Porsche. Worth the 10 pound (or whatever they cost now), but its mostly common sense.

Re: Evora resale values

I panicked a bit while selling mine as I didn’t get any real interest in November and December. As soon as January came round it was like I had just placed the advert and I received lots of calls! I think the moral of the story is that these cars are (at least to some extent) seasonal and prices and...

Re: Evora/ Evora S thoughts .

Re: Hayabusa Turbo conversions available soon

I also found that the bike gearboxes(assuming that's what the use) aren't man enough for the extra weight.

Re: FALC / Audi R8

It's all personal preference but I had my heart set on one, tried it and found it too soft. It was more like driving a fast BMW than an elise / exige, good and competent but not like a go kart.

That said I don't know anyone else who feels the same!

Re: hi folks, new to the forum - anyone know this car?

I spoke to the owner as I was trying to get a swap deal for my boxster. It sounded like a good car with good history. Hes a long term owner. That said, I never went to see it so cant say for sure.
