Smile Jumped ship

Having owned my 944S for 3 years I have gone for a change and bought a TVR Tuscan. Whilst it may not corner as easily as the 944, 360bhp in a car weighing just over 1000kg, and 0-60 in just over 4 secs, is good fun.

I haven't been a regular contributor to the forum, but would like to thank everyone who has provided help to me. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Cheers,

Holy .. when I clicked on the link I expected either "Im going away to college and I had to get a Toyota" or "I got a WRX/Evo/insert-latest-trend-here" ..

But I have been pleasantly surprised. Cool car, what an upgrade.

Looks like another "***** car". Like an overgrown Miata or something. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Sorry, just my opinion.
