My cars driven list was appalling, but in the list 6 months I've added: Suburu Impreza, Corvette and Hummer H2.
(and a Toyota Hi-Ace which was superb and ruined my ten years without a speeding ticket   )

What was the Hummer like ?

[Northern Red]

Unbelievable.
Got to drive it over an off-road course, 45 degree side angles and a 60 degree hill. Gut wrenching stuff going over the top.

Although being 5'6" I found it a bit fun to get into  

I'd love one but:
a) too expensive
b) I'd drive straight over the top of someone's car and get 10-20 years

I love TVRs and I am also a petrol head, and there aren't many traditional supercars that will piss all over it.

That car is proper fast.

From recollection the Sagaris does 60 in 3.7 seconds and 0-100 in 8.1 seconds. That's quick as fuck. The 0-60 time is the same as a Zonda and an Enzo?! They are not traditional, they are hugely expensive, not to mention produced in very limited numbers.

Compare it to what i class as traditional, F430, Gallardo, Scaglietti, Murcielago, etc, etc. It eats them alive up to the wrong side of 150mph. Okay, it doesn't have as high topend as most of those and it is slower than a Lambo xx640, but then its over 100 grand cheaper

Oh, I wasn't having a go btw, just making the point that not everyone is aware of how hugely quick TVRs are.

Nice Murcielago. I would love that, best i've done is drive a spec'd up Seat Ibiza at silverstone with an instructor!  

[magicroundabout]

Ralphy, did you ever use your Ferrari track day you got that time???

[Ralphy]

Yes i did magic.

360 Modena around Silverstone  :twisted:
