Yes being patronised is really going to make one 'Chill out', just annoys me when someone thinks they are correct when thats not the case, and your not interested to hear the reasons why.

Yes RUF is a private tuning company whos reputation has been gained from tuning Porsche's, Yes they use a base engine from a Porsche, but the rest of the CTR isn't Porsche its all designed, tuned, constructed by the wizzards at RUF.

Prodrive have done the same when they made the Prodrive P2 although it never made production, a pretty trick road car, used Subaru base engine and that was it. The chassis and everything else was built and designed by prodrive and was released as Prodrive's first car.

Car manufactures use different engines as you well know all the time, its like saying the Focus ST is a Volvo when it uses a Volvo T5 Lump. Lotus's are really Toyota's etc...

Anyway im bored of all this, here are some more pictures.. Got my first play in a California too, amazing car that!! Albeit in the paddock, still good fun. The roof is brilliant!

Oh Gareth, you're great :)

I've heard of being colour blind or even partially sighted, but never taste blind. You have exceptions; your taste in Mazda and Honda are fine. Your taste in just about anything else is questionable to the point of me thinking that maybe you're on a wind up.
