The dark side is calling me

[Devil]

Ill always love quick cars. Have had the chance to ride in plenty of scary vehicles, 911 turbos (3 of them), 550 maranello, RS6, TVR Griffith, mini de joux GT race car.
yum. Currently have a twin turbo VR4 sedan which keeps me entertained. Nearly bought an Evo 7 a little while ago though, so tempting!

Lucky bastid.
Never been in any scary vehicles, apart from a race boat.

Mind you, test-driving the 205 through central D'Auckland with my 17 YO son driving was pretty scary....

KK- Yea it was the 90-95 shape. That turbo model is a rocket, I am gunna try to buy one when I can. Na, I havent tried the one you are talking about. I've just had a go on a cheap rip off of it with a bogged motor and that was slow. I definetly like old skool MR2s as well! Though no where near as fast but its more nimble and feels even more like a go kart.

JR- Imagining that its a Ferrari 355 does the trick for me.

RIB- I'll try to get it on two wheels next time for ya.

WT- Your on da money and you too Mr stormer, thanx!

Racey- Didn't you know why I was standing up for sk8r_boi back when he was getting bashed?

Phase- PM me lol.

Devil- You lucky lucky man!

Mr Stormer- Try going pillion on a fast sports bike. It usually scares most grown men!

Well if you've had a fast boat then you've had the best of the lot.
Iv'e had a couple of jet boats and they rock like nothing else on earth.
The big dream is an 18footer with a 400chev set up by bruce Roberts.
Mr Roberts took a couple of mates an I up the Whakatane river on a hunting trip one year.Man 100mph on the water is like (stuff that I'm walkin' out).
Nothing will ever be the same again.

I am not in to cars, only bikes, the my fav car is the benz 300 sel gullwing edition.

Other than that, as long its got 4 wheels a cd player, and can handle going up the kamais okay, i not to fussed.

Never liked cars, never will, they just don't interest me in any way, in a car i am after something more sensible pratical. but thats just me

"Mr" is it? I'm not usually recorded such respect. My boss calls me "Muttley" (but then he calls most people that. Except his boss...)

As for the pillioning thing, no, I don't like pillioning even on slow bikes. However, in "the old days" I did many a mile on the back of my mate's (and his brothers' bikes), and got very good at interpreting what he was up to. Like I didn't blow off the back of his BSA when he laid down on the tank at 80 mph, and I somehow just knew he was going to open up the Z900 when he did 95 mph up my street one night.
Scariest thing was doing 95 mph down our road on the back of a T500 my sister's boyfriend was riding. In the middle of the day. On a Saturday.

Phark. It's a wonder I'm still alive, thinking back on some of the silliness I've been through...

Well, it was my wife's cousin's promo boat, and was a racing waterski boat, equipped (IIRC) with a 240hp outboard and racing prop. It could do 0-145 km/h in just a few seconds (dunno how many eggszachary), and felt pretty damned fast, faster than any car I've been in. The acceleration felt akin to that you feel when taking off in a plane, but with the wind rushing past it felt a damned sight faster.
Shortly after that he flipped it in a race, and was lucky to escape with just mild concussion. He gave up ocean racing after that...

You need to try a Porsche 996 turbo in first gear (manual, not tiptronic).
I nearly crapped my pants.

Then again, the TVR Griffith was nuts. Weighs one tonne and torque just oozing out of every crevice. No traction control, no abs. WHOOOOOSH. and the noise! *drool*

Are you a rich cu*t or a mechanic for continental cars or a gone in 60 secs car boosting wannabe or wat?

Hah. Nah, all of the above had been owned by a mate of mine. All those experiences were from the passenger seat (which kinda makes it a bit more scary!).
Only doomy cars ive personally driven were the Evo 7 and a 400BHP+ BMW850. Oh and my VR4 WHEEEEEEE

[Motu]

I drive so many cars a day they bore me shitless,most often the ones that are supposed to excite me.One so called supercar that really did impress me was a 928 - monstrous feet on the back with an LSD...and it just peeled out sideways from the curb both tyres smoking in perfect control like I do this everyday - bit of an ego stroker.

Huh,that reminds me - I used to service some old ladies Chrysler with a 390 in it...on crossplies! Turning right at a stop sign was fun - just floor it and pivot to the right,back off,then drive quietly through the haze!

My mate works at the docks part time. He transports all the flash new cars to and from the ship and yard. Man he gets to have some fun with some pretty flash toys. Evo 7-8s, New WRXs, 2004 745s, M5s and M3s, the whole lot. He basically gets to go for a good hoon on all of them.

The lucky cunt! :sly:

[Yarg]

I'd have to agree. Driving my MR2 (But Non Turbo) is as much fun as the bike.

[Aucker]

I have to be a little honest. Maybe this honesty will make me the most disreputable member of KB but here it goes. I actually enjoyed that more than riding my GIXXER!!

if you drive around in a fast cage like that for 6 months or so without riding any bikes, then get back on your Gixxer, you will probably say the same thing but in reverse.
