Throwing in another of my all time favourites to compete with the 360CS:



I know they didn't bring any NSX-R's to the uk official, but for me this is a mega mega car. Perhaps not powerful enough for your good self. If I am fortunate to replace the S2 with something in the future I hope its with an NSX .

just watched top gear, gotta be the r8 spider

Spotted a nice white one in ABZ on Saturday. Andy even has the right reg plate for it.

Good lad

[Andy G]

right - will be quick as I'm about to head to Mercedez World, which is 100m from my hotel

Only had time to drive the GT3 this morning, and my god, I cant believe how much i liked it! I've previosuly driven 2s, 4s, 4s targa, but none has felt as connected to the road as this. Almost like a giant german elise in terms of streering feel, and i loved theheavier clutch and harder gear change. And open it it up , the engine suddenly coming to life above 4500rpm.

Value for money is heard to beat, and I'm liking the thought of german build quality also.

Might be time to scratch the 911 itch.

It also looks epic in white, and didnt have too many hard core options to piss of mrs G. One or 2 more things to check though

oh, and the small matter of the superleg tomorrow

Still i'd be saving £45k buying a GT3 - who would have thought a GT3 would seem like a bargain

great update andy!
so the gt3 is the real 911 deal - very interesting!
what an awesome thing to be doing - those test drives!
looking forward to the superleg review!

[Andy G]

it was a gen 1. Absolutely loved it. Still in shock.

Just been over looking at SLR's, SLS's, SL63, E63, ML63, C63, Lewis's old car, Mikas old car, and driving the Ring on GT5 in an SLS

Not a bad way to end the day before i get back to working again!!

Still 400 miles with the racepod tomorrow will wipe the smile off my face

I went out to MBworld a couple of weekends ago - loved it. Favourite car was the bulletproof`d G wagen and the old E36. There was more interesting stuff out the back (head down the left hand side of the place as you look at it from your hotel).

Gen 1's look like great value and in white, very nice.

I noticed that only the drivers seat has got the harness & the passenger seat is an ordinary seat belt.
Whys that?
