Lol you are funny, first of all if you really wanted a drivers car you'd never drive a VW anyway, lets face the facts and get real, it would have to be the GTR !   :smiley:

Surely this funny man is a joker?

If you wanted a 'drivers car' you wouldn't choose a Playstation on wheels that's controlled by computers.
You'd probably spend your £80k on something with the engine in the wrong place, no computer controlled 4WD system, a LSD and an organic link between the drivers foot and the engine....oh, and a manual gearbox!

Unless of course, you just wanted a fast car, with the minimal amount of actual 'driving' required?

Surely this funny man is a joker?

F1?

Surely this man doesn't read too well ^

"Unless of course, you just wanted a fast car"

I don't live on a F1 circuit, nor do I earn my living winning races...so any comment regarding F1 compared to the real world is utterly pointless.


But, since you mention F1...
Weren't fully computer controlled F1 cars faster?
You know, the ones where the computers did the gear changing, active suspension etc?
The ones where all the driver had to do (still no small feat, I know) was point it in the direction he wanted to go, whilst the computers controlled the throttle, suspension etc?
Do you remember them?
Hardly a 'drivers' car...but a fast one.

As ours GTI's have too many computers in them and are therefore not drivers cars we can then go and sell them and buy some classics from the 60's and claim we are real drivers. Just off to go and buy some driving gloves and flat cap too  :laugh:
Current: GTI Edition 35 Candy White 5dr DSG 19" Glendale, RCD510+DAB, Dynaudio, Storage Pack, Parking Sensors

Gone: Edition 35, GTI Mk6, Edition 30, GTI Mk4, GTI Mk3, GTI Mk2 and my favourite the UR quattro
For those that dont know DSG is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox
