Gordon Keeble, test drove one back in the 60s. It was a bit like a Jensen and frightened me to death so now I drive a Citreon Berlingo, brilliant diesel engine and never less than 52 mpg.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon-Keeble

Hi GR

No, it was the final, Anniversary model - the most powerful version; black with white uphosltery. If I can find the time, I will scan a picture and post it. Yes, reversing would have been difficult, so I never bothered! There was a guard over the gear lever gate to prevent accidently selecting reverse - so I felt if they went to that much trouble to prevent you using it, I wouldn't upset them!

From the 'snowy' picture you will see I owned it before I moved to Cyprus.

But it was not the fastest car I ever owned! But now a man with a red flag walks in front of me when I drive - and I can't always keep up with him.

You’re a very lucky person to have experienced such a fine piece of engineering!

Well the engine was wonderful - a true work of (Italian) art - but the electrics... and the the useless a/c..and a replacement rear wheel €2000!

Now the only lamborghini I have is my oil fired boiler!

I will try to scan some pictures tomorrow of some of my cars. I loved fast cars and good looking lovers - or was it the other way round?

thats the only problem with the super cars like lambo and ferrari you pay so much for just a wheel and have to be so carefull i imagine. plus from what i understand they run out of petrol in literally two seconds.. well obviously not two seconds but very quickly... is that true?

What did this ride cost you?

That's why I gave you the tart of the year award!

You remind me so much of a girlfriend I had in the past… well off (she sold diamonds to filthy rich Japanese tourists), fast cars, wining & dining every single evening (never cooked), plenty of champagne (I lost count how many bottles we emptied), always glamorously dressed, and a sex/social life to rival Hollywood movies! But all good things must come to an end…

Lamborghini Countach; I owned one (Palio has seen a picture in the snow!) - unbelievable spaceship looks - dreadful to drive. Heavy steering, two legs needed to press the clutch - the controls were just too heavy - I should have listened to the salesman!

I have owned many sports cars, now I drive like a little old lady on her way to collect her pension

Oh dear, oh dear Lana...

Fragnatic breath will be along in a minute to attack you for being 'an arrogant prick'....

Or perhaps that is just me...

..and I own the fastest laptop on the block LOL! Quad processor, 1,000 GB HDD, 18" HD Screen, Blu-ray etc. etc. Clearly, I have been going wrong all my life...is there no hope for me

And yes, it did cost more than €1000!

Can I have it for my Christmas present, please.

I owned two Jaguar XJRs...

A dream-car for me... super smooth supercharged V8, seats for five plus luggage, comfortable, easy to drive, all mod cons - sat nav, climate control, etc.

But put the auto box in 'Sport' mode and it was out of this world. turn the traction control off in the wet and it was a killer...

I thought my Mitsubishi 3000GT was the best car in the world until I got behind the wheel of the XJR...

So, Frag, which supercars have you owned...?

Lovely cars Grump.. class, grace and pace... I had a XK8 back in UK, dark burgundy metallic with cream leather.. beautiful car until someone decided to knife the soft top!! £3,500 for a new one... just the insurance for the roof was an extra £400 a year!!!... Used to have a Spitfire.. (loved it), TR6.. (loved that too ) and a rather tweeked Morgan +8 (Loved showing the boy racers what a real car should sound and go like )...
My favorite super car is...

But own a....


The closest thing to a 60's lotus elan with reliability!!!

I sold my TR6 (and the XJR) before I came out here...

The XJR would have been wasted here but (with hindsight) i should have kept the TR6...



Now I just have the Pajero and the Fazer....
