Heavy matters if you want your car to actually handle and be any good at TLGPs.

They did a massive re-design about 3 years ago and it grew up a lot: No boobs, no chav, loads of tech how-to articles, it was brilliant. Clearly that didnt work for their readership base as they ditched it a few months later, at which point so did I.

Fugly, heavy, fugly, heavy. Fugly. Heavy.

You lot have got no taste, I swear. Someone puts a huge bodykit with chavvy wheels on and you're all over it, but a car with a FRICKIN' ALIEN ON IT gets slaughtered??!! Bah. *gets coat and leaves in a sulk*

THAT'S AWESOME!!! There has never been a car that manly, I'd love that!

Can't really help on the biting point but if it's much stiffer than the BMW then it's almost certainly not OEM. How many miles has the car done?

About 2 lots of 5 should do it (5 goes in quick succession, then a good couple of mins at 70 to cool the brakes, then another 5)

When you say the clutch pedal is stiff, compared to what? I ask as the OEM clutch is light by nature, so it might be you've got an aftermarket updated job on there.

Ugh, that's chavtastic The hatch is a very easy car to drive quick, bit numb on the steering though. It's something I'd get bored of in about 5 mins sadly, although I'd love a classic shape STi...

Either pad material on disc or a warped disc I would think. A good few hard stops from 70-30 should sort the former, only a pair of new discs will sort the latter though.

Much better angle, still not helping those wheels though. Otherwise that's lovely

what if they put this beast into production Oooh, hadn't seen that before. The front's a bit heavy and the wheels are miles too big, but otherwise it looks much better. Definitely shows promise, good find. Bet it'll come with a bland interior and a slush box if they ever make it though

The DRLs are on the lower half of the front bumper, not in the headlights.

It's still fugly. Mercedes haven't designed a car for years that I'd want to spend my hard-earned on. I'd have an SLS, but that's AMG created.

It's nigh on impossible to get a Nissan for a weekend, let alone a Ferrari 599 to a customer they don't even know Must just be your shining personality then One other thing to note is that most of these supercar clubs come with a very limited mileage policy when taking delivery of the cars, so you might not be able to put the miles on and do the exciting trips you want without a substantial further cost. That said, the same applies to regular supercar hire so even that route wouldn't be any better. One further thing to consider is how they decide who gets what car. It's not inconceivable that you could end up with this list for a year: Audi TTS Bentley GT Convertible M3 Coupe Gallardo G37 Cayenne GTS Cayenne S RR Sport Supercharged HST RR Sport TDV6 HSE Now to me that's definitely not worth the £12K per year, so I would definitely contact current members of the club both old and new and ask them what they wanted and what they actually got before committing to anything.

That's why you blag the weekend test-drives

Tbh most of those cars you could blag a couple of days worth of test-drive at a friendly dealer, so probably no need to shell out that way at all. I'd rather buy a car outright and sell it after six months and move onto the next. Do it correctly and you'll lose very little too.

In all seriousness, doing away with the chrome/silver?! Not unless both Lewis and Jenson have been lying on Twitter, they've both confirmed a while ago that McLaren would still be chrome and silver and that the red/black seen recently is only the test colours colours for the car. Not impossible that McLaren have changed their minds, though. I maintain that there's one Lotus team with a Renault engine, and the other team is a Renault sponsored by Proton.

Is it not?! I assumed that as it had the Ferrari lump it they'd have kept that part of the design, looks like a numpty mistake on my part then

You wouldn't unless you instantly wanted to wipe thousands of pounds from the value of the car. With something like the GT, full main dealer history is everything. I don't think they sound especially nice, but then I don't like flat-plane cranked V8s. Bag of nails at idle and all that. *hides from Chesterfield*

BBC have now confirmed that we're getting HD too

It'll spend more time in the dealership than on the road. They're still not as reliable as they should be, although it's mostly electrical gremlins rather than anything too serious. Just get a good warranty and you'll be fine. They're also stunning and I want one.

DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT

Coulthard will still do the rest of the stuff I reckon, he'll just leave 10 mins before the start of the race to get to the commentary box.

They can't stop him doing that, that's usually the best part of race day!
