Why do 300C owners do this? - In fairness, It was very well polished, got a great reflection of my truck in its paintwork….
Zero traction control, soft suspension, lightness, narrow tyres, no clever diff, brakes from, well the 80's.
Ha! yes absolutely, I had the pleasure to work opposite Turbo Systems back in the late 90’s and got to try a few modified ones that had proper brakes,tyres,suspension but still no T/C , all equally terrifying I can assure you.
Tbf that first pic is making me hungryPopped into Caffeine and Machine today for the first time for a car get together. A few friends had organised a meet with Porsche CGT's, there were around 27 lined up at one point but I counted 15 turned up before I left.
But before I get to the cars, the star of the day without question was this:
The place itself for those who haven't been:
And some Boxsters:
George Williams the automotive photographer was standing with me and a few others when I took these so I think he will be massively envious of my skills.
CGT's are not a car that really captured me, but god they sound incredible.
. I had the please of going to a porsche meet at specialist cars of Malton (very expensive imo) and they started a carrera gt indoors. It sounded awesome, of I didn't have kids I'd totally be passing off the neighbours with one (I'd also need a second mortgage though
).. I do think you lose a lot of sensation going modern, comparing my old 911 from 2001 to my current e92 is a bit of a difference (and I noticed the Los of feel going from a C2 to a 911 turbo of the same generation). I've had the misfortune of driving mm mum's 2001 a class and it's world's apart. I've also driving the previous gen bmw e330 hybrid and it was hard to tell which way the tyres were even facing in comparison to my car 
. 
Cars were so unsafe in the 80's and I recall so many near misses back then. I had a couple of mates who were killed in car crashes or involved in crashes where others were killed. We all drove like nutters but the cars were not fast and the roads were far less busy than they are today. Cars were smaller too so you had more room to play with when you went 'rallying' around the local lanes. No bikes to worry about in large groups like today, no cameras or mobile phones to make you infamous on the uninvented internet and no one really that bothered about kids in their cars as long as they were out of site.
How I didn't write off my mini I have no idea. The two lads I raced around with back then wrote their cars off in front of me (mini and Opel Kadet) as the ABS on my mini saved me. Well I say ABS, the brakes were so bad I could have stomped on them with the force of Thor and the wheels would not have locked (drum brakes) and I managed to drive around my mate who had just parked his mini into the back of my mates Kadet....
The Kadet was rebuilt and 3 days afterwards a woman in Birmingham drove into the back of it again and wrote that off too. I still remember my mate knocking on the door "you are not going to ****ing believe this" to then stand back and point to a wrecked Kadet....AGAIN
I got band for reckless driving a few days later.
Luton Dunstable? Lol nope! This is down south, all the way down by the sea
ok forget that, maybe just the houses built at the same time, they are a similar style down my road, built 1920's
