Didn't you ever watch the Procar?

The original M-Car, started the whole thing off. Without this you'd never have had the pleasure of owning an M3...

I love the noise of them too!

And yes, I'd love an original CSL even more. Although just a standard one.

They were fantastic cars. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about.

Fibreglass doesn't rust!

You don't see them up for sale very often. I found one more at the moment on an auction site with a 140,000 Euro reserve.

Awesome cars though, probably the most capable road-friendly supercar of it's day.

This is a nice little site for quick reference if you don't know that stats

If I just had £130k to spend on a car, I wouldn't either.

Although would MUCH rather have one than any Ferrari or Lambo.

Although the 355 is the only Ferrari I'd have. Styling was perfect, everything they've made since just looks wrong!

How do you work that one out? It was one of the most capable cars of it's time. And as an all-round package (performance/usability on the road etc), it was probably THE best. Few people who really know what they're talking about could find a bad word to say about it.

Some people really have no clue....

That only came about because of a cock-up from the Italians, but in retrospect it made it even cooler and more iconic.

its brand new... its pretty HUGE actually.... its ok. Nothing amazing.

There is a 4D cinema there showing this film about a team competing in the 24 hour race.... thats pretty cool. worth a watch.

The Roller coaster is STILL broken... BIG problems with it bothe structurally and the engine/power plant thing for it though.
