It looks great but at low revs you really can't hear anything. | | | | | Aficionado

To be honest I haven't been out too much lately because I have a lot of school work at the moment, and exams coming up so need to revise for them!
Hopefully after that I'll go to London and see a load of nices cars, and add them to this thread! | | | | | Connoisseur

A Prius as a Taxi!!!  I think this is the best machine for all the city driving Taxis have to do...
...I saw today some nice cars (no pictures, because I can't take photos and driving a car - no multitasking skill! G 55 AMG, G 500, Maserati Quattroporte, Alfa Romeo Brera (and Brera Spyder) - the design of the car is great, but the interior and the extremely high seat position (I tested the seats at a dealer) are not very sporty  - , a new Daimler and two Touareg W12!  (no Ferraris, nice Mercedes or sth like that.  ) | | | | | Global Moderator

OK... today was officially THE day that a camera would have been handy.
I was driving home after picking up my girlfriend... typical drive, we were having a conversation when all of a sudden I hear this gorgeous symphony... it literally sounded like a F1 car.
So while talking I turned my head towards the sound and as I realised what it was, about 50 m in front of me, I stopped talking and yelled "Holy <bleep> <bleep> <bleep>" !
There she was in full view, a silver Vermont-plated Porsche Carrera GT in all its wonderful glory. Now I've seen it before @ car shows... but never on the road in action. I was speechless... I followed it a few blocks until the guy pulled a garage a few blocks before I got to my place.
I had to change my underwear once I got home! | | | | | The Following 5 Users Say Thank You to siko For This Useful Post: | | | Moderator

Carrera GT  Damn, I've never seen one at the road - thank you for sharing your impressions.
I forget that I spotted a new facelifted Phaeton yesterday, too!! Looks great! The LED lights under the headlight gives this car a modern look and the design is more conclusive!
I really hope that the Phaeton will get a better request now! | | | | | GCZ's High Court
