don't get me started...

I grew up in a pretty... affluent area. I worked at a gas station accross from an exotic car dealership and saw about 4 billion amazing cars a day. I've driven my friends girlfriends dads '91 911 Turbo, a Lotus Caterham 7 (170hp/1200lb car), my moms '01 Jetta 1.8T, a very modified '92 Mustang GT, and ridden in my friends dads '98 BMW 540i. I got to drive the lotus a few days ago, the friend who owns it also has a '96ish 3000GT VR4 which is his daily driver. I can not even compare driving the Lotus to any other car, it literally sits low enough that you can reach out and touch the ground while driving.

last weekend i got to drive my brother's '96 M3. that there is a fast car. it's more fun when my brother drives it cuz he drives fast. every time he downshifts he blips the throttle and the growl sounds sooo nice.

not joking I used to work for a company that sold Facom tools (they make the titanium tool kit that comes with the car) and there was a competition throughout all the stores and the top 10 to sell the most tools. I was in the top ten so I got a tour of their formula 1 factory, their F1 roadcar factory and saw them on the production line and then had a ride round their test track in the £650,000 roadcar (K8 MCL)

When was this? cause their production line was only 100 cars
and it's not really even a production line they worked on about 2 cars at a time.... in the one top gear video (for the Mclaren) they showed the so called production line and it was just a couple cars, it looked almost like a normal room with some tools around, and people were working on them

btw for me now (because of recent drives) Lamborghini Diablo and Ferrari 360 Modena
The Ferrari was one of my dad's business partner's cars

It was several years ago, I think it was 1996 when I went and they had made about 65 cars, I think they were working on car 68, and yes the factory was pretty small and absolutely immaculate!
