Im lost,totally fallen out of love with cars frown Not sure why but have felt like it for a while now.I dont feel the need to just go for a drive like i used too..indeed i found the drive to Le Mans tedious by comparison to previous years,what is going on?I read Evo and find nothing up to 100k turns me on,i look at most cars with cynicism.Should we really be driving around in gas guzzling monsters? Are we irresponsible to do so? sigh,my own car for the most part sits in the garage redundant,lol i have a 1.2 Punto for town and im afraid to say im far happier in it,it makes more sense and i dont feel like a poser ,people let me pull out and dont tailgate me either.Maybe they just dont make them like they used to.too much wind tunnel design and lack of originality perhaps?I may well sell my Gt3 and drop out of cars.im not sure what else to do ? frown

You've just got the wrong car! People let you out of junctions in the Noble all the time and the 100% positive reaction it gets is nice. A bus actually stopped and waved me past with a big thumbs up in the GT last week.

You've got a Porsche. No wonder you feel like that really now is it wink

the best way to re-kindle your car passion is to go without for a while !
Absence makes the right foot lonely!

Sell it while it's still worth good cash and then give youself a couple of weeks.....
you'll be dying to get back in something quick !

Or... here's an idea
buy a bio-diesel plant from here, buy rape seed oil from the bloke next to your mum and dads and make yourself diesel for pennies to run one of these hitch one of these to it, with this on the back... evil then, troop round europe driving every track you can find !

Adrian's Noble is not like anything else i have ever been in! You may think your GT3 is fast, like i thought my Noble was fast, but this is truely in a different league!

If all else fails you could always take up needle work?

yes those thoughts that go through your head in 0.1 of a second :-

If I brake - crash
If I steer much more - crash
If it gets any steeper - I'll go faster, then crash
If there's a soft bit of ground - crash, but it'll hurt a bit less.

I get exactally the same Chris. I had an Elise for 2 years and loved it, then suddenly got bored and sold it. Had one car for work for a year and then couldn't get a fast car soon enough again. I totally loved to Noble for 2 years but if the truth be known, I too am actually getting slightly bored again and am thinking of selling up and just tooling about in the £11k A4 for a year until mhe bug reignites again.



Then its LAMBO-TIME smilesmilesmile

Dear Postee,
Beleive me I am a doctor. If you truly beleive that a GT3 is the equivalent of an M400, let alone the equivalent of Adiran's M400+ you are truly seriously ill and in need of urgent mediacl attention. I would advise going immediately to the nearest psychiatric department and say "I'm ill, I'm having delusions".

I wish people would read posts b4 trying to be smart arses, if you have nothing productive to say then dont post.Glad your not my doctor frown
