Prob one I've owned, a 2001 BMW 330i. Black with a discreet sports bodystyling kit on it, full grey leather trim, drive was amazing, absolutley fantastic car...

Replaced it with a new 2006 320, which was a complete boring anti climax. Recently got rid of it and now have more fun driving round in my Nissan Patrol battle bus

you still on about that bl***y car!

driven a few nice cars, including Steves 330i!

Driven but not owned, rally prepared skoda (yes i know it was damn quick though) rally prepared mark 2 escort off road and my brothers lotus elise.

My favorite memory of driving though was an APC and also a honda pilot buggy,- not a car really but both awesome pieces of kit & great fun pushing them to their limits

Drove my mates GT2 porker and scared the living day lights out of both us.
I can confirm they do tend to be a tad tail happy.

About 6 months after this I got a call from him saying that his girlgriend (one of my best mates from school) had done the same thing except she parked it with a fence impalled about 4ft into the mid post and wrote it off.

I also drove a nitros rigged mini once that was more fun then the porker.

It was a mate of mine he built the mini for quarter mile runs and man was it scarey.

I had another friend who put a group N spec calibira turbo engine in a mk2 astra, from the outside it was totaly standard it even had steel wheels and hub caps it would kill a scooby on the straight but once in the bends the scooby was far superior that is if he could catch you before the bend that is.

too much power for the front wheel drive to handle though and it used to torque steer like a good un.


I am revealing my boy racer past now. I will shut up.

never been able to afford expensive cars, or even a new one lol.

But i have 2 cars in mind, torn between the 2 so i am going to have name them both.

1. A series, Vauxhall Frontera sport SWB 2l. Great fun to drive, great solid car and unbreakable.

2. B series, vauxhall frontera LWB 2.2l. Great car with loads of boot space, Got a full sunbed in the back for the wife. a great drive and ride.

None of them are boy racers though lol.

Two for me really and I can't split em apart.

Lotus Carlton, chipped by Star-chips. 535 BHP and restrictive 184mph removed. Yep was fun indeed.

My wee Renault 5 GT Turbo that I spent a Kings Ransom on some 10 years ago. Ran it at Santa Pod a couple of times and for a week it was the quickest in Europe bringing in high elevens on the quarter. Standard looking road car but pumpingout just short of 300bhp. Boost topped out at 45psi
