2 tone calipers?

2 months after passing my driving test, aged 17.5, i went on track (with work), and drove a Ferrari 360 Modena, Porsche Boxter S, Merc SLK 320, MG ZS 180, and a stripped out EVO 6. Now those were scary!

Whats all this talk about driving down 'private' carrageways and tracks for? You got a licence, so drive any f**king car you want at any speed you want, no one gives a s**t.

Is it just me that thinks that looks like a tarted up 325i? I'm not saying it is, but those wheels, the calipers, the eyebrows, and the piece de resistance - the door handles.

Shame because a standard E36 M3 is a beauty to behold.

 

[tommyboy]

That's exactly what I thought!

Defo needs returning to standard imo.

 

[Dubai182]

The proper M3 appears to be next to it

[Ben.]

hmmmm, are you sue Ollie. lol

 

[Norris_309]

My mate had an M3 a while back.. & he wanted me to look after it for him (on my drive) while he was on holiday so i thought i'd help him out. He insured me on it & i had 1 week of M3 fun.
Nice car that... don't think i'd wanna pay the fuel & insurance bills mind you.

 

[Alan]

Your dad a dealer?

 

[16v_er]

calipers look w*nk

^^^^Well if he is a drug dealer your gonna get a kicking! lol

aint an m3 a 3.2......

E36 M3s come in either 3.0 or 3.2 for the Evo.

M3s are brilliant cars to drive and must have been a mind blowing experience at 17. I drove my uncle's E46 M3 convertible when I was 19. I hit 130 on the dual carriage way without even realising and I was grinning ear to ear.

The real eye opener for me was when I had a Nissan Pulsar GTI-R which was tuned to 313bhp and stripped out. That thing was a fcuking beast! Changed everything for me that did and going back to a 1.2 Clio was seriously painful.

 

[Alan]

Why did you go from the Gti-R to a 1.2 clio matey?

 

[$torm Rider]

Long story. The Pulsar was a mates and I had the Clio before. Due to unforseen circumstances I ended up taking it off his hands. Was the best couple of months of my driving life. In the end he wanted it back. Was so difficult to hand over the keys but ended up saving me a few grand as he blew the engine 2 weeks after.

They are absolutely lethal machines but you have to be careful with them. I'm still considering buying one as a second car but it has to be a minter.

 

[TomS]

very nice clio that

m3 don't do it for me

 

[18ME]

I think everyone should drive a quick car on a track within a year of passing their test (under supervision of course) as it teaches you better car control and respect of speed, breaking and cornering etc.

Thats why I treated my partner's son for his 18th birthday a trackday, where he got to drive a lambo, SL55, Viper, Noble and Exige. He has definately calmed down a bit in his own car, after writing 2 off. I also wanted him to drive us back from the track in my car, at the time a 400bhp S4 V8 but the underwriters insurers wouldn't insure him, even just for a day. I did let him drive the last few miles though, carefully.

I would have loved that at his age.

^^^^Well if he is a drug dealer your gonna get a kicking! lol

most drug dealers arent hard. The shitty ones are, the proper drug dealers arent hard they are small businessmen, with big mates

I had to Move my dads Porsche 993 Turbo (3.6 Turbo, 420bhp 4wd!) I was 17 at the time, and I only moved it off my drive round the corner and back again, f**k ME what an experience. Didnt like the driving position, but beeing in a car that would EAT a Lamborghini Gallardo for Breakfast, just felt so special, knowing that if you floor it, you are behind the wheel of one of the fastest most capable sports cars ever!

Such an underated car the 993 Turbo, Unfortuantely, due to redundancy he had to sell it He now has a 2001 Rover 45 Expression =/

 

[Ben.]

yeah my dads a dealer......lol...nah he is just trying to be 'cool'!!but yeah was a great experience!!!
