Hi all,

Newbie post here, and I'm hoping there's some christmas spirit about!

My nephews are hankering after a ride in something "Fast and Furious" for christmas (in other words, something with orange paint, an exhaust like the channel tunnel and wearing a big red "R" on it's rump).

Is there anyone in cambridge area that has a Skyline, Supra, RX-7 or 350Z (that kind of thing) that wouldn't mind taking them out for a spin in it? I'll make it worth your while as best I can, and deliver the little blighters wherever need be.

If anyone can help, please PM me, there's 3 lads that'll be the envy of the school if I can pull this off!

Thanks in advance

Steve

that gives me an idea for a limo service!!

i wonder if the bank would lend me enought money to buy an F430, GT-R, NSX, an EVO or two?

*runs off to lloyds tsb*

i wish i had something as "exotic" as your requests!!

i hope you find what you're looking for?

My car would make a great limo! :lol: The Clio V6 - room for just 1 passenger and no lugage.

Now boys step away - bring on the big guns - unfortunately I don't live in Cambridge and my car's not orange.

When exactly are we talking - I would recommend that depending on their age (I think 16 is minimum) that you get along to one of our track days, 16's and over are allowed out as passengers.

Otherwise maybe could take someone out for a run in the local area - however I warn you now, I'm a bit dull when it comes to putting my foot down - I simply don't, it's too blumming dangerous.

I'll be at Snetterton for most of the day on the 16th as will many other members with hardcore cars - however once they see Fil's mustang they'll lose interest in GTR's :).

The lads are 7, 10 and 12, so track days are out really I'm afraid. I need to keep it round cambridge area as I'm quite a busy chap, and with christmas on the horizon no one has much time to spare!

Thanks for the offer of the Scooby and Evo guys, I'm really trying to get hold of something thats been modified, although I'm aware that JUN cars aren't exactly common! But I'm sure the nippers would still love a ride in either of them, they're bright, spoilered and make all the appropriate whoosing noises!

Sadly, the little blighters don't appreciate cars properly, they got offered a TVR Tuscan and they weren't particularly interested (damn the fast and the furious!).

well i think a ride in a 360 bhp scooby would make them think about paul walkers antics?

i would jump at the chance of riding "shotgun" in dynamix car!! :lol:

Steve, some of the evos and scoobies on here are alot more modified than the skylines etc :). I think you'd be surprised.
