What Is It? Supercar Week?

[Fidgits]

okay, so supercars are something you rarely see on the roads, in showrooms and racetracks etc if your lucky....

well, on tuesday i saw a Yellow Lamborghini Diablo on the M4 heading towards london.. very sweet...

Yesterday, was a NSX around town.

Today, well I saw, a Lister Storm driving around Bracknell!

I'm used to seeing ferraris etc (living so close to a racing circuit), but the last time I saw these sorts of cars on the roads was in paris!

[~Rach~]

All I see are porsches at the mo (theres 6 in the carpark at work)!!

[Robie]

Iv seen a couple of Ford Puma's about.

[Fidgits]

yeah, i saw quite a few 911's today too, including a GT3..

[~Rach~]

*peers out of window* Ummmm we have a 911 GT3, 3 911s, and 2 Cayenne Turbos

You can tell we have the board in today, all 40+yr old balding men

[Fidgits]

oh, and i saw Ryans miata ;) on the opposite carridgeway - phoned him to check it was him.. :D

[~Rach~]

Cant miss him in that really can you!!!

[JustJJ]

TVR Tuscans... a Chimera ... um.. Porshes....there was a Ferrari 355 outside work yesterday...

But lots of Tuscans around Warrington *nods

[Karma Supra]

ferraris/bently GT/s and astons are two a penny in henley....

for true excusivity you need an 88 supra

Funny I saw my old lada driving thru town yesterday!!!! sure turns heads!!!

[Fidgits]

I guess my point was, you rarely see a Diablo on the roads.... and this was the first time i saw a Lister Storm..

I mean, ferraris, bentlys (saw the new Continental the other week) are quite common on the M4.. just those two stood out.

[jaxx]

see the odd vectra sri round here...........

[Karma Supra]

I know what your saying.. (tho in the summer time there are two diablos and two mclaren F1s I regularly see).. peopel round here just have too much !Removed! money!!!!!

which is why I have to move miles away to be able to afford a house :ffs:

[~Rach~]

Round by mine, its not a rich area what so ever (Bath is, but Longwell Green isnt lol) but the guy down the road from me has a 911 turbo, an rx8, mr2 tubby, and supra :o

[Leeky]

Seen a Ferrari Daytona cruising around near the M3 in Hook.

There is a Koenig Ferrari 348 Bi-Turbo near Bournemouth.

We have an Aston Martin garage in Reading so we see DB7/DB9's and Vanquishes every day.

Although the best one i saw was being serviced about 3 months ago, Vantage Le-Mans 600

Possibly the best Aston Martin ever IMHO, 600bhp from a twin supercharged V8. over 200mph :D

[Fidgits]

yeah, as i said, i mean you go into any city (even swindon), youll see collections of exotic machinery in showrooms etc..

I was just impressed seeing some nice rare toys out on the roads!

[Firthy]

Scooby after scooby after scooby...and chav nova's, corsa's etc :(

But when the owner of Auto Desgin Technic decides to take his toys for a spin theres a few mega motors cruising about...and Fizz can tell you about the Bentley Continental GT

[LORD_ED]

in windosy there a murcilagao (sp) very nice car howvere je has put neons on it and goes cruising around town

[knightrider]

a fair few skylines around near me, most exclusive seems to be a nova without LED washer jets,

[Karma Supra]

Sure is Ed, hats the silver one.... the dark purply one is Rown Atkinson's

[Fidgits]

hmm, my brother got married in Henley at some swish hotel on the thames..

but yeah, i suppose living somewhere like that, your gonna see a lot of expensive toys!

[Tom.B]

Only saw one today. A Noble..and I was in the passenger seat wooohoo. Those things fly like mad. Its the landord of my local he decided to "buy it for fun" some people have too much cash. Thinking about that I must own a big chunk of that car.....

[Fidgits]

sorry, i dont see 911/noble/tvr as supercars.. very fast sports cars sure, but not supercars..

[Tom.B]

Errrmmmm cough cough:

In 2000, the Noble M12 threatened to turn the established supercar market on its head. With its mix of scorching performance, race-bred dynamics and unparalleled build quality, the Noble could be bought for a fraction of the cost of its rivals, but gave away nothing to them on the road or track.

The motoring press was quick to praise the Noble, and the number of rave reviews it received grew rapidly, increasing demand for what buyers saw as a credible alternative to more established, but more expensive brands.(see reviews)

Much of the British-designed M12's success is down to just one man: Lee Noble, the car's chief engineer and designer. Thanks to the talents of Lee and his team, Noble Automotive is now flourishing, its Leicestershire UK factory delivering faster and better-appointed versions of the M12 to dealers at the rate of 200 units per year.

But Noble is far from resting on its numerous laurels. As well as the refined and improved GTO-3 and GTO-3R models currently available, this year's British Motor Show Live in May will see the addition of two exciting new cars to the range: the 425bhp M400 - set to be one of the fastest production cars in the world - and the GTC, the first convertible M12.

Noble. Driving Passion

It says there it is a supercar!!!

[Fidgits]

I said I dont see it as a supercar - I mean, a TVR Cerbera destroyed a bunch of supercars in Clarksons first vid, but its still not a 'supercar'...

IMHO, that title is reserved for the Likes of the Lamborghini/Zonda/Mclaren

[Tom.B]

Sorry! Didnt realise in youre opinion!

Must admit in mine it kind of is but supercars are TVRs , Mclarens, Astons...

So you have a good point mate!

It was flippin quick tho and stuck like a nappy to a baby :!Removed!:

think next time he takes me out I could do with a nappy!! 100-0 in suchhhhh a small distance the brakes are awesome!
