Ridiculously, RIDICULOUSLY fast machine!
Why didn't I think of that?
Eck, the cut of your jib is exemplary. I like how you fly.

Its a complete weapon of a car,but very dangerous in the wrong hands.
If hes not feeling the full enjoyment of the M3 then imo he aint driving it to its full potential.A TVR would be a bad idea if you dont want £££bills.
The early 4.2 litre engines can be a bit iffy. 4.5 is more reliable.

Not V8s either. Seems a little pointless.

Mercs (bar one or two amg) are the least inspiring cars to drive ever. Designed for fat lazy germans who want to waft quickly about autobahns
Most new stuff leaves me a bit cold. Old ones are cool though. Love my W124.

Well, any auto can be described as dull compared to a manual.

colin dont mean to put you off but my mates brother worked at a tvr racing garage for about to years and what he told me about tvrs means i will probably never own one...
first rule dont even consider a speed 6, it wasnt unusual to get any tvr in with 40k on the clock for a 'strange noise' and the head worker to then say 'engines on its way out' to make matters worse the factory where tvr engines and engine components etc were made caught fire, tvrs have aluminium engines and everything aluminium melted in the fire meaning this racing garage were desperatley searching ebay etc for spare parts and sometimes a part would be nearly impossible to find.
it got so bad some guy got pissed off with the tvr engine and ditched it in place on a chevvy ls2 v8, which my mate said was a lovely, simple v8 to work on and it fitted perfect(this was the first tvr in the country to have tis done)
he also said he hated having to take customer cars out to diagnose faults, test drive after work, or just to take it to get mot'd as often they would make strange noises and it wasnt unusual for a customer cxar to break down on him or develop a fault.
on the plus side he was able to drive the companys projects cars up a local airstrip and said for sheer speed and scare factor, nothing compares
