Very cool !

I used to own a Lotus Esprit GT3 before it tried to kill me on a rainy day. My personal Kato.

Steering wheel is in the wrong side, and what's up with that handbrake placement?

I considered looking at a Kia, as they seem like pretty good cars these days, but I'll probably stick with my glamorous 15 year old Nissan Cube.

Nice sports car shame I could never fit in one

Even the BMW i8 was a tight fit as a passenger.

Putting them bitcoins to use

Decided to stick with the CUBE of FUN for a while longer.

I don't know what I was thinking!

Great little cars

[Mr-Megalo]

Hello again, thought id pop my head in to say howdy and have a nosey.

Echoing Pete here,
Not had a cab for many years now, hell I even scrapped a Fighting Mania cab!
cars kinda took over, at one point I had 5 cars on my street, all imports of course, 9 R32's and several other cars later, I haven't stopped. Driveway has 2 Datsuns with another in the garage hiding away from the winter weather.

Like Kernow, I also had a mid life crisis and bought a Porsche 911 a few years back, had it 12 weeks! But it was a bucket list thing so the box has been ticked so to speak. Didn't help that one of the R32 GTR's I had then was faster and handled better.

Went Skydiving last year, that surpassed my expectations, best episode ever!

Wow, has it really been 10 years since this place started?

Hope everyone is well btw

[Jan]

good to hear you are doing well Meg !

[Mr-Megalo]

Im good thanks Jan, not as much of a gamer thesedays, I do play a little here and there but not like I used to, Street Fighter V is still a joke, but GTSport and PSVR is cool for the odd hour or so.
Bought a HP Omen laptop last year which has numerous emulation setups but I honestly get more enjoyment thesedays spinning spanners.

I met my current girlfriend through cars (whom incidentally is 15 years younger than me ) she plays more video games than I do

Still dogging then?

I don't know how you motor heads will react to this : if it's true, self driving cars are to become so common that markets (here, it's the real estate one, but it's far from being the only thing that'd be affected) could be transformed by them! I don't even know what a world build around these cars would be (like the USA which are pretty much built around "regular" cars) but I guess many things would be different... owning a cool car and taking pleasure in driving it would be quite a niche hobby, for example.

[CTN]

YouTube would be a much poorer place without Russian drivers, that's for sure.

Things happened.

A 1969 Plymouth Fury III convertible




... and a 2014 Jaguar XJR

Not a car guy at all, but Tesla announced their new truck:





It's like something out of a 80's sci-fi movie. Awesome.
