I think i will wet myself after seeing that list. Porsche Swindon have a 997 Speedster in too so i will look at that, and Chris Harris's 4.0 RS is in the Bristol Porsche showroom so my mate said, may as well make a day of it and go and see that. Andy did you see the M3 GTS today? i want to see it tomorrow.

 

[Andyk]

No,,,where was that....Is that at the BMW showroom or the Ferrari/maserati one.....

Did see the speedster it was in the Porsche showroom window as you drive past to the Ferrari showroom.....

 

[GransportFan1]

It was advertised on the Ferrari section of DL, it must be at BMW then, they have an M5 Estate in too so i will head over there as well.

 

[Andyk]

The BMW showroom is not by the others..They built a new one a few years back....Also the new showroom is opening in...I think they said June......That will be impressive as the one they are in now is getting on a bit...

 

[GransportFan1]

I will go there then after and have a nosey. Camera lead has broken so i will not be able to upload my pics tomorrow, will have to wait a few days as i dont have a card reader on my computer.

 

[Andyk]

I sure you will take loads... The only thing with DL is because the showroom is small they are a little close together.

Adam, I sure you will like this one.....Must say it grabbed my attention more than he 458..

Just had a look on google earth, looks impressive where the showrooms are, would be rude not to have a look in Lotus too.

oh and was there a white Carrera GT in there? there is also a R8 GT on the website, that looks tasty.

 

[Andyk]

No GT but yes the Audi R8 GT was in the showroom but must say it didn't grab my attention with the other stuff there.............Must say I did like the Mclaren...This car is growing on me and I prefer the interior over the 458....Mark was not that impressed with it though..

 

[GransportFan1]

I like Audi's though as you know so i can see myself warming to the R8 GT nicely. If i won the lotto now i would buy an RS3 as a daily, mental car and stupid performance.

 

[BennyD]

Audis, are BMWs without the character. I have a mate with an RS3 and he is looking to get rid. Soulless apparently. Saw an R8GT out and about over the weekend and no one gave it a second glance. There are better cars for £160-170k.

 

[Parisien]

Not far wrong Ian......a lot of the German stuff is very mundane......living off previous or percieved plaudits....

McLaren MP4-12C for same sort of money, no contest!

The Lotus showroom had the F50 and 4 Maserati in Adam..No Lotus.


Oh, just remember what wone the hot hatch group test in EVO with that Audi in it Adam.....A Suzuki Swift......

458 or R8 GT? What a stupid question.

 

[Andrea]

Seen plans of the new Showroom - it's stunning. Perhaps i can organise a day out for you all when up and running....
