Rides off into the SUNSET YFM.

Go work on your rust sculpture. :lol:

 

I love both the finalists, but the usability is what swayed my vote to the Singer 911.

Hey now wait a minute Eric, it's not quite over. I'm sure in the rules it said all of us who picked the winner would be receiving our very own Singer 911. Do I have to come to Philly & pick mine up or can you bring it to the Dragon? :smilewinkgrin:

 

Nope I got mine 1 year old used and got a great deal on it because it was a custom ordered car from my local dealer. I had my local dealer look up the VIN and I had the build sheet / order spec sheet before I called the selling dealership.

They did not know what they had they said its just a cute little new MINI.

What they did know it was a JCW with every option with an LSD and I even got then down another 2k and paid about $20,500.

I have had a few years of experience on how dealerships work and how deals are done and this dealer just wanted to get rid of the little red car off the Benz lot.

 

Coulda been worse, the wagon looks horrific!



I wish they woulda kept this body style going...



To me that looks a lot better!

 

MMmm bacon :drool

WRX for me, If it was stanced heck just I'd fix it.

I would rather have a Toyota Celica All-Trac turbo.... :biggrin5:

 

Thanks, maybe some time I will put together another one, but no price cap based game... Maybe age though...

But honestly, keeping everything up, doing the research, selecting the cars, and trying to keep the game from being dragged off topic SUCKS!

It sounds, and seems easy to do, until your the front man... Once the door is kicked all hell breaks loose!

Good luck B.A.D., you're gona need it!

 

I'm still saying Miata... Perfect only car for me...

 

Oh yeah, thats Dave... Stance is lyfe brah!

 

he would have no less than 6 of us clambering to beat the sense back into him with various blunt objects.

:lol:

 

GTI again... Those BMW's need graphics that look like laces.

 

That's what the motor on emoticon is for....

 

I should feel bad for them, but I'm laughing my arse off. :lol:

 

I wasn't dissing on other brands, I too am a car guy. I just posted that I thought it was amazing that the GP-1 wasn't winning by a great margin, especially with the R53 love that most of us have ( me included). There are a lot of cars I would like to have in my garage....a GP-1 is surely one of those.

 

I already have a MINI that has more power then a GP -1 but I would like a GP-1.

But given the choice of a free car I would absolutly take the Porsche hands down.

People need to be realalistic and stop being such MINI fan boys because it's really is no contest. If you are picking the GP-1 over a Porsche you may want have your head examined.

Let me guess your favorite color is Potato?....

 

I'll drive you to the doctor, I guess I need mine examined too. Slow deep breath.....The MINI is actually more fun on the track than a 996. There, I said it. There is only one car that I've either been in or driven that's more fun on the track than a MINI, and that's a Lotus.

It's not about comfort or functionality for me, everyone picks a car for different reasons. If you lined the two up and offered me one or the other, I'd take the GP. Seriously. And mod the heck out of it.

It's only money, and it depends on what you're after; people sometimes regret getting the most expensive thing even if it's affordable. Case in point, two years ago I routinely thrashed a guy in an Audi TT at every track we visited, including Road America. Good guy, but he thought he needed something faster than a MINI. So he bought an M3; he sat in a MINI at the dealer, an R56 JCW, while the manager was putting the paperwork together, and started having second thoughts. He went ahead and bought the M3, and still took a thrashing at the track, though not as much in the TT. He sat in my passenger seat once last year, and after he got out, told me he wish he hadn't bought the M3, and he was serious. This is a guy who money means literally nothing, he's got more than he'll ever be able to spend. Hope he gets a MINI for next year. He knows mine is modded, and he flat out said he wish he'd gone that route after running a few laps in my car.

I am not filthy rich, but I could afford something more expensive, and prestigous, and sometimes I think about it, but everytime I go to the track, the MINI is so much damned fun that I just can't get rid of it.

 

I would go with the proven winter car
