·Love Vincents, glorious if somewhat eccentric machines. The most exotic I ever had was a BMW.
and the damn thing only had one lung!

·Lets all pause and give thanks for the Ford Motor Company...... for providing cheap, stupidly fast cars to the general public for a lot of years.
After all.... not everybody can afford the big dollar stuff.

·Did I miss the huge debate about how quick the M5 is? I mean the E60 M5 is fast, but easts Lambos and Ferraris for breakfast? I think they were likely just cruising after a heavy meal 😜 Maybe quick against the older F and L cars (e.g. 430, Gallardo), but certainly not by today's standards.
And GTRs are monsters. I drove a Stage 2 tuned GTR putting out some 850hp on wheel; 0-100 in fast, and I hit a 330km/h on long bit of highway. Still the fastest car I've driven yet, and I've been lucky to have driven some pretty quick cars.

·Your telling me! The two cars in the background are a 2007 Shelby GT500 coupe
and a 2015 Shelby GT500 convertible.. The 2015 Shelby is rated at 662hp/631ft.lbs torque... The 2007 is a measly 500hp/480ft.lbs

(makes the 991 GT3 that I saw this morning at the shops look like a toy......expensive and functional but not beautiful like this.)

·I had a 1980 911 Targa.
No Speed upgrades, just lowered.
I used to love showing people how
stable the car was. At 60mph I would
yank the steering wheel down with my
right hand as hard as I could and let go.
The 911 never even left the lane I was in.
Incredible cars. Blew the engine up twice
though. Never let that sump get low on oil. 😀

·Great pics and stories and cars, guys!!
Speaking of GT3s, the 991 GT3 RS was just launched in Malaysia last weekend. Yes, while I like the charm of older cars, I'm a sucker for modern and comfortable cars 😜
On the other side, a good friend just traded his 996 in for a 964 (plus he had to top-up!), and had Akira Nakai-san of RAUH-Welt Begriff flown in to work his magic. The end result was less crazy than I expected, but in a good way.
Still on the subject of Porsches... I had a Macan Turbo test car, and decided to head off to some less traveled roads. Nothing more satisfying than getting a nice car dirty. I don't know if Porsche appreciated it as much as I did ;-)
And finally... have been hooning the new Audi TT for a week, and whilst it shares much with VW's mk7 GTI (even state of tune), this car feels much deft on its feet. I've got a silly smile plastered on my face, when I think about just how fast I can take it through corners. My only gripe: dead steering feel, needs to be better weighted.
