Seems unavoidable in the long run for porkie to end up with it.

He's already said the 3door will see its last use with him this year too in another thread, if thats not a clue i dont know what would be

I suspect Lee will remain Ford-less if he sells the 3 door as he is 'loved-up' with the liner
is it for sale then
Don't know i was just going from what Chip said!

I keep threatening to replace the Sierra with a more purpose built trackcar like a Radical. Will see how this track season goes

If I replace the Skyline it would be with a 996 Turbo or a 997. Boxster will STAY though. Love that car

Still need to get something else though, something yellow Keep posting this pic I realise But how sexy does it look!

Doug Stirlings 355 in yellow is absolutely gorgeous, i would sooner have that than ANY other ferrari, i know there are loads of ferraris worth more or that are faster (enzo etc), but i just think the 355 makes a wonderfully pretty road car and has enough performance to enjoy without having so much that you can hardly ever use it, if i took an Enzo on a track, i couldnt do it justice!

Doubt many will agree with me though

That was a funny day. Me and Brom in the background, I think Brom was asking him for a job. lol

Lee, I have told you this a million times, but I think a Radical would be boring for doing track days. They are sooooo much quicker than everything else on track, I think you would get racked of being stuck behind everything all the time through the corners. Plus the best bit about track days are the little duels you have with other people. There would be none of that anymore in the Radical. Plus the fact you could not have a chat with your passanger, and I know you love taking people round and scaring them with your dodgy driving antics

I reckon the Skyline will be lucky to make it to Easter. Guys I see the glint in his eye when we talk about 911's and well the 360 is also something that you know you gotta do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets face it, even though you do like it, you bought the Skyline because you were bored one day at work!!!

I have just always had a thing for the 355, ive never really lusted after an enzo or an F40

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt they are better cars in every coneivable measure of performance than a 355.

True.

And would you really expect any different from a man who spent more money on a 3 door replica in a non original colour than he could have bought a mint real one for?

I would also sooner shag VBH than britney

Challenge Stradale is a much sexier and much better track car for sure. BUT to me, cars like this get driven on special occasions. You know nice summers days, weddings, trips out to nice places on nice days... and to me being stuck inside a metal box is just pony. BUT if you are in a convertable, its like being outside enjoying the weather and enjoying the car! Even traffic jams are not that bad with roof down and sun shining

I would ALWAYS choose a convertable over a coupe. Just LOVE them. You have to have owned a nice drop top to appreciate them I think (or be a hairdresser )

At least with VBH though, when you shot your load over her and then told her to fuck off, within 5 mins of driving, she would be nowhere near you anymore

I agree with Sean - a radical is a terrible choice of track car! It'd be so fast, then you'd not be "competing" with anything.

At least as it stands now, there's four or five other cars of a similar pace to have a few "battles" with. Otherwise, get yourself a proper racing car, and go racing.

Or sell the Sierra to me for an absurdly cheap amount of money

As for the 360, you know my feelings on convertible Ferraris - that is just pure automotive porn!
