I own this Tasar thing now, slightly old fashioned high tech and fast. Wish I could pair it with one of my sadly demised old Citroen CX 's. Now we have ancient Vauxhall Diesel Estate, very worthy. Mind you for the last couple of seasons we did tour the land towing my sons Lightning 368 with a red...............Fiat Panda. Cool ,as you young people say , or what! Did anybody ever see us?

I own a Cherub and a Fiesta

Both of them get ragged into the ground until something breaks

The difference is I know how to fix the boat....

Musto Skiff & Honda Civic Type R.

Both light, fast, well engineered and never break even when thrashed ...

Sorry, I posted an epic list of car/boat comparisons without reading Rick's post properly!  D'oh!!!

Fireball and a company VW Bora TDi. (But the 150bhp 6 speed version!!)  Reliable, understated, looks slightly dated but goes like b*ggery which people are not expecting!

My Cherub's alter ago was my old Alfa 156...great looking but known for dubious build quality/bits falling off.  Plan is to get an Elise this year...also dubious build quality/bits fall off, but small, light, uncomfortable and bloody quick!!

As an ex CTR owner I'm allowed to say this.  Lovely car when new, now driven by ****s.

Bit of a sweeping and ignorant response ...

Sorry couldn't resist seeing if I would get a bite and holey moley its a whale

Seriously though the CTR has the best gear box I have ever driven, and that list includes Porsches, Mercs, BMWs (none of which were mine!).
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

Jetski

BMW 3 series

A waste of space on the water

Drive in the middle lane

Turn without warning

Never use indicators

Wrong!!!!

BMW's use the BMW lane... (sometimes referred to as the outside lane or lane 3)

IMO...

BMW's use whatever lane they please, indication is optional as are brake lights, insurance and MOT (if applicable).

They do get mighty surprised when my little green estate blows past them though ;-)
