Cars. Mar 12, 2012
I don't know how many people will be familiar with Jeremy Clarkson and his TV programme Top Gear?

I was watching the programme tonight and one of the co-presenters James May went to Chris Evans' (Radio 2 DJ) house to look at his very impressive car collection. His bestest car was a Ferrari. Not just any run of the mill Ferrari but one that cost £5.4million!!! It had it's own garage, which wasn't like any garage I've seen before. James May had to take his shoes off before entering the garage but was allowed to take it out for a spin around the London suburbs. He didn't enjoy the drive at all as he was too frightened that some prat was going to reverse into him. I could relate to that. Where is the joy in driving a car worth £5.4m?
I can't say I really like Ferraris that much as I'm not a lover of sports cars. I prefer something bigger. I do like those 4 door Porsches that you see cruising JBR though, very nice indeed!

Slash (ex Guns 'n Roses) was also on the programme and he did a lap in the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car. He did the lap in 1.49 seconds in a Honda and just beat Alice Cooper and Agelina Jolie. Impressive. He drives an Aston Martin in real life.

If money was no object I'm not sure what I'd drive. :!:
I do like those BMW X6 :D

What car would you drive if you had mega amounts of dosh?

I've got to wonder who buys these exotic cars. They are almost too expensive to drive on the road.

I've loved cars since I was a little kid and if money were no object, I'd like a convertible lamborghini. Convertibles are more exciting that hard tops in my opinion and they look better too.

Im not much of a car person. It has to be safe, reliable and comfortable. For the rest I dont care. That said our first car was the nissan 100nx semi convertible, and always loved it. Got to drive a Merc convertible (it has a great a$$ also) this morning in your capital BM, and I loved it, but wouldn't be able to offord it.
If I ever would buy a sports car again, it would be the nissan 100nx. And if i would have the money, i'll still with the 100nx.

Hmm... I'd get a 2012 GMC Sierra 3500HD. Give it to Hamann and tell them to give it a white theme. I would then add some Flowmaster exhausts and spokes with hydraulics.

It is well built and comes with warrenty. Personal mods break the warranty.

Ricer it not, you've got to admit; it's quite appealing. And besides, it's a 3 ton four wheel drive, you can't expect miracles from it.

Over here if you look at your car the wrong way voids your warranty with the stealerships, the stories I could tell would need an entire forum of its own !
