Great pictures mate. You didn't happen to take one of my Megane Cup-S did you?

[quote="InvaderGIR, post: 29770430"]Been here 3.5 years, still not managed to get down there for the meet, something else always crops up and I end up missing out, may try and make the Sept one if I can.[/QUOTE]

It's definitley worth it buddy. The event is organised via the Queen's Square Breakfast Facebook page normally.

There are also post breakfast club "drive outs" afterwards during the summer too. The last couple were really good, driving through the Mendips and Cheddar Gorge in the sunshine with supercars was great fun.

Yeah, one of my friends goes almost every time, I just miss it due to having other things on usually but do need to get to one. Was chatting to a friend in Tetbury on Sat after picking up some parts off him and he said there was a big convoy going up there after Queen Square for a mid day show. Missed both due to working on the car, busy in August, may make Sept.

If you like variety breakfast shows I suggest you pop down to Haynes on the first Sunday of the month, huge array of cars there too and a good breakfast to go with.

Again, often miss this due to being busy but it's always excellent when I do get to go.

That is absolutely insane - when I've hired a Mustang it's been approximately 30 quid a day. $211?!?£!

I had one for 2 weeks once for 400 quid!

Gutted then!

Bahaha, yeah that's pricey for that piece of junk.

Really wasn't that bad. In fact I quite liked it. First time driving in the US and first time driving an auto - so a little like Driving Miss Daisy for the first 30 mins, then S mode and paddle shifters for the remainder :cool:

acemastr · 13 Jul 2016 at 05:05

Florida is the worst place to drive, the level of driving is scary.

Auto is awesome though, I wouldn't go back to a manual

usa has the highest fees/taxes in the world Ive read a few times. Ireland just registered GDP growth of 30% from all the USA companies registering their HQ there apparently
I still remember the thread from the person who rented a Dodge Viper for the day out in Vegas, was it 500 cant remember. Which company is that btw Fox, something obscure?

Orlando Disney car care. There's your problem, everything to do with Disney is insanely priced.

Me and my wife got a mustange a few years ago for 20 days and i think it cost less than that with virgin fly and drive, of course we were meant to get a normal car but use of the honeymoon phase got us an upgrade

Didn't sound bad either! Although wasn't much opportunity to give it some beans.

Scania · 14 Jul 2016 at 21:32

I saw an X type R the other day too! It had small exhausts and sounded rather diesely....

Pretty sure my old 05 plate one didn't have the leaper logo on the back either

That looks like a poverty spec 2L that doesn't even have the 4 wheel drive.

The leaper logos have been tacked on, one in each direction!

There were no diesels with AWD. I was behind a diesel saloon yesterday with an R logo on it too, seems to be a common mod.

Interesting, there was never an R but there was a prototype, the same 3.0 V6 as you can get with the X type but with a supercharger bolted to the top of it.

Siliconslave · 15 Jul 2016 at 12:01

An SSR - amazingly it manages to look worse from the front (found by searching for Chevrolet ugly on image search

)

So is the PT Cruiser the parent or the offspring ?
