Nothing more exotic than a Seat Leon, I drive automatic now due to injuries sustained in a road accident nearly four years ago.
But I do have a few toys...
I fully restored the CBR last year, it was a complete bare frame nut and bolt job and was featured in Practical Sportsbikes, Nov 2015 [emoji41]

Mines Red, but minus the satnav. Had it a couple of years now, Considering another or possibly the RS. Only thing putting me off getting the RS is some tosser is much more likely to try and steal it.

That would be a mk2.
Mk1 was the ST170 and there was only one spec level.
ST170 didn't really count though did it ? I mean, it wasn't a proper "Fast Ford".

Hehehe that is what I was thinking
the current RS seems to get close if you like those kind of in your face chavvy looks. But other than that it is hard to think of one in the U.K. market.

It's lovely, really wouldn't mind having one. I think there are two in my area. Wouldn't class it as fast though.

The RS is very subdued in it's looks.Hehehe that is what I was thinking
You are more than welcome to put your order in on this. http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/FutureVehicles/FordGT
You maybe lucky enough to get one.
0-62 in 5.8 for the 4cyl and 4.8 for the V8 isn't too shabby for what is a sizeable car really. Plus there are always the Mountune upgrades for more power.

I couldn't say that that huge spoiler on the back is subdued. I hate things like that, many faster cars who don't need something like that. But good that there is choice as some do like that
Thanks, but no thank you. For a quarter of a million I could think of more interesting vehicles. Besides I can't afford it at the moment anyway.You are more than welcome to put your order in on this. http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/FutureVehicles/FordGT

Agreed "not too shabby for what is a sizeable car really", not fast though considering how big the engine is and what say a Tesla S can do...I'm definitely tempted and £39K for a White Platinum 5.0 V8 auto with all options is I think a bargain....Can't get approval from the boss though, its too ahem American and "for someone spending their days in the gym with big tattoos" :god:

There's a regular visitor in a Mustang. GT500 IIRC. Not subtle! Not sure how wearing the sound would get on a longish journey; I know that 100 miles or so on an all but unsilenced 88" V-twin is far enough. Boot's small too, not sure I'd get clubs and trolley in.

It's very subdued when you compare it to the likes of Subaru, Mitsubishi and Honda.

I think the Ecotec is a Poxhaull engine.

It's all relative..
My car does a 0-60 in 4.2 and goes all the way upto 300kph (gps confirmed) 4 doors, big boot all for £5k..
Depends what you call fast.

Indeed, people's references of what is fast vary wildly...except for hire cars, they are the fastest cars...Oh and new to the owner cars, they also always seem to be the fastest cars and can't pull over...

Yes agreed! Even the exclusive colour is a bit boring, but it still got that huge spoiler on the back. Handy if you want to put your pint somewhere at the pub
BTW. Mitsubishi doesn't seem to do the UK anymore for their EVO. I do like the new WRX STI but again too much spoiler for my liking.

i have one of these now
got the 1.7 Premium BlueDrive model. nice leather interior, sat nav, parking camera, loads of silly stuff like lane assist but I do like it, I get 45mpg, its very roomy and very good to drive. It does look like a Ford Edge, but given that hyundai poached a designer from Ford, its not a surprise.

Audi B5 S4 (Nogaro Blue of course..)
Had it 6 years now but been off for around 3.. Currently undergoing a few power hikes
I've had run ins with bikes, anything upto a 600 is good to run with but all the R1s and the like are too much at the moment.
A 'Busa would have no problems seeing me off hahaha

You can get close with a car. 0-60 in 3.07 seconds, not bad for a 30yr old car and held the production car record for 0-60mph for 12yrs.
Oh and then they turned the boost up and slashed the time to 2.1 secs.

Big modern cars can do it as well....
I had a test drive in the S, but are interested in getting the X or the Levante (Maserati) to replace our Mercedes GL

Like I said it was 30 years ago and it took 12 years for anyone to go faster.
I saw a Tesla S on the M25 a few weeks back. Got to be the most expensive minicab I've ever seen. No joke.
