I think I have driven quite a spread of cars over the last year, so here goes

12 months ago I was driving this


1976 TR6


Toyota Rav4


1959 Austin Healey Sprite


Drove my mates 130i


360 Spyder


Test drove one of these 135 like Moff's


Wifes car 120d


Currently driving this


I also drove an M Coupe.

So, thats me. What have you driven in the last 12 months?

Great selection and in interesting places. Good to see someone sharing enjoying their driving.




Tried SL. Apparently has electronic throttle but sadly connected via MB central which meant waiting 5 mintues for a decision




Life long ambition to have Blenheim, now pleased as punch.

Love the classics Dave and that Fezza :

I usually drive loads of different cars... but not had the opportunity to drive that many recently.

I don't have all the pics unfortunately (Google Images will be my friend!), but in chronological order:

My old S2000... still love it! The yellow paint was amazing.



Z4M Coupe (testdrive - not my pic)


TT 3.2 Coupe (1 week demo- naff)


350Z Roadster (2 week demo, can't find the pics )


350Z Coupe (1 week demo)


Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI (8 weeks - rental car) NEARLY KILLED ME


Skoda Altea XL 1.9 TDI (1 week - Spanish hire car) awful, but easily swallows 3 people and 3 sets of golf clubs and luggage


335d Coupe (wife's car) - 286bhp and 400 torques... pic borrowed, car looks exactly the same.


My new 135i Coupe which I love ! Rapid 360bhp / 350 torques!

All actual pictures of the cars i've driven in the last 12 months..

The S of course..



My Passat (most days!)



Corvette C6 (in Houston)



Lambo day (in October 08)




R6 (that i so wanted to buy!)



Cayman S (hundreds of miles on a road trip including 2 laps of the Ring!)



AMV8 (a quick blast up a road in my mates but driven non the less!)



Legacy 3.0R Spec B (last week, my brothers, nice but not too exciting)



Lotus Esprit V8 (Probably the most awkward car i've driven, but i was wearing flipflops )



Alpina B3 (my best mates, driven a fair few times)



And of course, Monday nights snow antics, took this Trooper drifting!



Think thats about, quite a few really when i think about it!

The Turbo was a mates who was on the road trip last May but didnt get to drive it. He actually got a blow out on route to Berlin from Amsterdam so he was limited to 50mph to Berlin, then Frankfurt and he finally got a new tyre at the Ring! Gutted!

I really really liked the Cayman, it was great to drive, although spent a lot of time on the autobahn where it pulled effortlessly to 160+mph, and keep pulling after that.. see the video on my sig! I did 2 laps of the Ring (nervously!), and then ended up driving non stop from the Ring back to Calais. Didnt notice the limited vision, guess its less easy to see things than in the S with roof down though!

Are you speaking on Esperanto in that [sig] video?



More interested in 'feel' rather than getting to 'x' mph.


Turbo is interesting, has the tiptronic 'made it'?

After 3 days of driving, i really did have great respect for the Cayman. I think the soundtrack at normal driving speeds is far more soulful than the S, and when you get higher up the rev range, it turns to a lovely howl! I would like to swap my S for a Boxster S at some point, the Cayman is superb but i'd miss having the roof down as its my weekend car

996 Turbos are now dropping well below

Car magazine this month ran an article on cars that you can pick up for silly money as a result of the credit crunch.

The Cayman was one of the cars that struck me as being a hell a lot of car for not a great deal of money (basic Cayman from
