    Hello,

    if you had no limits of money. But could only buy ONE car, what would it be?

    I think mine would have to be a Nissan Skyline of some kind.

    I have always liked them as a car since i was younger. Where as you find most people into Proche's or something along them lines.

    Here are some videos of as to why i love Skylines so much...

    Cheers guys.

    Wow seriously nice Car dude, always been a fan of my too. But i have to say i am nkot a fan of the newer shape Subaru. But that one you have is awesome its the style i like. My friends father has one of the WRX's in Black looks really sweet. Ill see if i can get some pictures to see what mods he has had to his.

    Nice Skyline video. Never seen that one but again just shows me why i love the Skyline again. Crazy speed on some of them. One day i will open one and that day will prob be one of the best days of my life haha.

    A steel rocket on wheels.

    I know it's not hard to get sub 11 second 1/4 miles from that car. 600hp is not that hard to get either. Some modern suspension work and it will actually corner pretty good too.

    That ain't a car though.

    But a Ducati would be really nice. Something in the 999s or 999r would be really nice.

    Well, in that case, I've been looking at bicycles recently.

    Too bad the bike I wanted to buy, the company went out of business a year ago.

    thanks.......im not fond of the newer style either, the front end of it just doesnt look right in my opinion. only thing bad about the car is it is only supposed to use 93 oct gasoline which nowdays is getting expensive, but it gets pretty good gas mileage. thats the price you have to pay i guess. its a really fun car to have when it snows lol :)

    hahha yeah i bet they are in the snow. 4X4 Drive and all! :) I can't say i have ever driven one though! Sadly, would really like to one day. I'm sure i will though. Plus a Supra be nice to drive or own even! lol

    I know what you mean about the look of the new shapes they look so round compared to the hard looking ones.

    I like meaty looking cars like the Skyline as you know the Evo, Your car, Audi A3 i like too or any of the NEW Audi fronts anyway.

    Whats the MPG on yours and the 0-60 & 0-100 MPH? If you dont mind me asking?

    Cheers mate:) I never miss topgear anyhoo,bugatti still wont give topgear a veyron to take round the track,that show definitely wont miss IF it ever happens,I think the guys at Bugatti have seen the test track and decided its too small to get the two ton beast around in anywhere near the fastest time :confused:

    Am i right in saying now that the Bugatti is not the worlds fastest road car now. I'm sure i read in a Loaded Mag or something that there was a faster car than it doing a faster top speed and a faster 0-60 or whatever.

    Don't know the name of the car that was ment to be faster though! :(

    Lotus exige and elise are gorgeous and great performers,I just missed out on a ride in a Lotus Elise a year or so ago :mad:

    not sure what you mean Jub,as far as I know its the worlds fastest car in accelleration 'some will beat it to 60mph' and top speed,dont forget its factory restricted to 250mph,this is the fastest Bugatti engineers considered 'Sane' ,at that speed you covering the length of three football pitches per second if you see something in front of you your already dead :)

    Did you hear this if a Mclaren F1 is travelling 100mph and the Bugatti launches from a standing start it will beat the Mclaren to 200mph

    Yeah they didnt mind jezza taking one over parts of europe and as the likes of Toyota F1 didnt mind the Stig, using one of their cars indoors, the guy is a race driver.. I know Perry McCarthy an Ex-F1, Lemans 24 driver was the old Stig but I'm sure the new one is equally a top ex or current GT/F1 driver ( my guesses are due to size are Johnny Herbert or Nicolas Minassian... specially concidering the F1 drives they get to try ), so doubt Bugatti's own test driver has their experience?

    If you did a perfect computer simulation of the Bugatti's fastest lap around the small Top gear test track I doubt it would be as fast as some of the smaller lighter cars

    Small nimble light cars thrive on that track,take the Aerial Atom only has a top speed of what 140mph 'not sure' but it was going around the track as fast as a porsche GT showing that power and top speed isnt a huge factor on that track

    Yeh your right it has nothing to do with trusting top gear with the car,I think its just dont to them not wanting Jeremy clarkson to say "even with all that power its too heavy to take round a track fast" it would be bad publicity to have the worlds fastest car in the middle of the leader board

    But its all conjecture it will eventually go round the track I think,probably a private owner will lend one to them,if it does post the fastest time I'll be amazed:)

    the gas mileage is 18 city/24 highway i think 0-60 is around 4.8 seconds but i guess it depends on the driver and im not sure about the 0-100. i do know when the car was completely stock/no modifications at the drag strip it ran consistantly in the low 13s at around 100-102 mph. my best time when it was stock was a 12.98 at 105 mph but it was a nice cold day so thats the only reason i managed to pull that off. took me a while to get good at shifting just right because 1st through 3rd gear are really really short, took a while to get used to and also having a 6th gear took some getting used too.

    Thats awesome. Well i look forward to driving one. I hope to get something good out one. I seem to be pretty good at doing things fast in a car. So i'm pretty good when it comes to fast driving. Lots to learn though! Mainly been driving my friends cars, i have some rich friends who have some seriously meaty and nice cars. I hope to get the money to get something sweet one day! lol But i have only been driving their fast cars like BMW M3, Audi A3 3.2 & a Golf R32. I think right now in my life its good i don't have a car like them cos i would prob kill myself lol
