My list includes:
911 Turbo with full RUF kit AMG E55 AMG E55 Wagon Porsche Cayenne Turbo Jag XK Cabrio Aston Martin V8 Vantage Audi RS4 BMW M5 Lotus Elise Twin Turbo 350Z 1926 Chev Hearse (!!) They are probably the cream of the crop for me (I may have forgotten a couple but they may come to me at a later date) and then throw in all the FPV's, HSV's, and a TRD Aurion and TRD Hilux.

I won't bore people with a long list, I haven't really driven anything I would call exotic or expensive. But here's a list of the most memorable ones that I enjoyed the most...
LX Torana, my mate bought it sight unseen and had no licence, so I went and got a day permit to drive it back to his place. Was a 355 stroker under the bonnet with M21 4 sp and running 13" fatties allround. Incredibly fun to drive, but also scary as it still had drum brakes... Mini Cooper S, great fun on twisty dirt roads. Although i used to get bruises climbing in and out. HX Premier, was a mates toy, threw me the keys one day, and I dont think I stopped smiling for a month after that drive. It was a genuine 10sec street car. XF ghia, just a lovely car to cruise long distances in. 04 Pursuit, The day I bought it I didn't want to get out of it. Then last week when I had it tuned ... great fun. VB Commodore cup race car, could have used a lot more power, but the sensation of sliding that thing round corners was unforgettable. Great fun. Cheers

Wow the list really is to long. I worked on the wharf for a while with patricks auto so heaps there. Now I sell cars so I drive all sorts.
! that really sticks in my mind was a dirty old 40series cruiser a mate owned. It had a 350 holley on it and had a bad tendency to catch on fire. It got me off gaurd 1 morning and nearly burnt to the ground on a freeway on ramp. Had some dick pull up in his dunnydore put down his window to see if I needed a hand, saw the flames and said"f... that" and took off the . lol |
