mmm.. a have a few!

I work for a raceteam that also has a company that organizes days on track with instructor driving in front of you and you can drive fast cars by yourself! So of course these cars need to get to the track and to the workshop ect.

So i have driven a Aston Martin V8 Vantage! The one i loved the most


After that a short experience with a Lamborghini Gallardo. Was restricted, but still good fun


Besides these cars also quite some trackcars but just for half a lap to get to TC ect.

Stus westy... Driving a car that close to the ground that has over 500bhp and weighs less than 700kg is pretty nutty on the public road. I have driven some mental cars including stuff like Zondas and Carrera GT's and even Rocket Ronnies Triple TOTB champ skyline. but for just being mental.... Stus by a mile! No roof, no windscreen, just some fiberglass and 500bhp! From say 30 mph to 100mph it's insane

Depends on what you mean by driven? if moving the car about 10 feet counts then mine would be a Ferrari F50.

as far as driven ,

id say petes 400 brake 4x4 saff , various liter powerd motorcycles , a mustag gt whilst out in the us ( that was a fun car ) a big power hummer h2 on 24s , just plain scary . ohh and my bosses e39 m5 that only had the tc switched off when i showed him how ,

as for most mental cars passengerd in , ive been fortunate enough to get out in the ag focus , wennys mk cosworth ,and reylands escos

but for the sheer cool factor and looks it got ,

it has to be andy's aka northern blokes castrol liveried v8 powerd mk 1 escort ,

loud piped ,wider arched and fat tyred split rims , screams get out the fucking way ,

and blatting through the town and along the dual carrigeway i swear someone was going to crash for staring lol ,

Driven its gotta be Ians Focus, absolutley mental car. Huge power, not much weight, how he drove that to the ring and back and didnt go deaf was beyond me
Been in: Either a quick blat up the M53 in a Noble M12 GTO (belonging to Andy who does the Bodywork on the focos) or a 1978 Capri 3.0 s belonging to a guy I used to work for in a bike shop, fully Pro Street, 18" wide back wheels, 3" wide fronts stripped and running as blown small block windsor
Ones mental round corners and the others daft in a straight line!

XJ220.

But the most mental vehicle I've ever driven (not a car), is a rotary-engined go-kart that could do 130mph. That kind of pace in a kart is just ridiculous.

For driven it now has to be My brother's 3 door, 418bhp, goes like stink.
Muppet has it for sale on here (D16 PJM) , I keep telling him not to.
Before that, I drove a bike engined GT similar to a Radical, big BHP per ton and slicks and wings. 150 mph at Bruntingthorpe.
The ride of my life was in a 2 seater F1. Biggest shove in the back ever!
