blitz supra Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Well I had an amazing day but a little cold, Here is how I rated the cars overall that i drove today, I was suprised at a few to say the least Here is my leader board and views on what i drove 1. Outright winner Rally spec Scoobie 2. Porsche Carrera ( smooth but not as fast as i thought it would be) I impressed the instructors as i was faster than them !!! 3. RS4 Again not what its cracked up to be and not that fast very overated car, just another bland Audi at the end of the day . awful Manual Gearbox hits rev limiter to quickly And here are the losers that i dispised with a passion 4. Ferriari F348 Basically a peice of crap really nasty car not fast awful gearchange / no PAS / rubbish brakes just a really nasty car, 5. Lotus Elise, A good track car only. but not as quick as people say, Amazingly Awful gear change , poor brakes, Almost impossible to get in and out of, felt like a poor built budget old school car built by Rover, How people use this as a everyday car beggars belief..

blitz supra Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 My findings also, you only appreciate your supra when you drive something else! tell me about it, i enjoyed the drive home in the Supe for sure, Ferrari was a total peice of rubbish, but hey if people are prepared to pay that sort of money for a badge... mmmmhh Porsche was very smooth, but not that quick... the Scoobie was faster and of course with 4wd it handles, The scoobie really suprised and imensley impressed me..

We went to this absolutley "massive" US Airbase over in Oxford in Upper Heyford, they set out a track and circuit , you could get the most out of the cars without worrying about sliding off into grass as well as hitting flat out high speed runs It boasts longests Airstrips in UK apparantley fantastic experience, just bloody cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 It's where they used to launch the B52 bombers from. Also was a shuttle emergency landing strip, so I'm told. A Supe meet there in the Spring would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
