You'll see him at Bedford Lee, as I think he's popping up with Brooksy.

Adrian is all married up now, he got married in vegas at the SEMA show (well not in it!!).......

Hired a Phantom for 5 days, and did a drive thru wedding!

I must be missing the point somwhere, I drove my mates old Boxster, and his new 3.2 one the other day, had a good long drive in both of them, and it has to be said they were both ok, nice noise etc, but fuck me they were slow and boring ... Handle quite nicely, but nothing out of the ordinary IMHO.... Wouldn't spend my money on one ever, have to be a lotus or a (don't laugh) a VX 220 turbo.... Much better cars for the £££ IMHO...

Boxster is ok, but it's more of a badge car than a serious drivers car.

Well you disagree with almost every professional journo and motoring writer in the world then!

Driving your mates one is different from thrashing the knackers of your own on a ytrack or one of those private one way B roads I know alot of I never drive other peoples car any where near as hard as I would drive mine.

Whats to laugh about the VX220? GREAT cars. LOVE THEM!

But couldn't live with one as an only car. You can with a Boxster. Different cars, different markets...

Its like saying a Caterham is a more fun than a Focus Rs... yes of course it is!
