BMW's/Mercs/Audis are the neighbourhood standard, really. The more exotic and over-the-top sports cars, e.g. Zonda and Lambos are more rare, but they're still around every now and then. Generally speaking my area is pretty awesome for nice cars; probably down to lots of affluent drivers!
Weirdly, there's a big exotic car dealership in Stoke, seen a lot of nice cars going in and out of there. :S

Course there is we have to have somewhere for our Premiership footballers and drug dealers to get their cars from...
Speaking of which I think I have a drug dealer living in the street opposite mine, he did have a Bentley Continental GT and is now driving a Range Rover.

So anyway, just went to visit my uncle whilst I'm home, and he's traded in his BMW Z4 toycar for a new swish-looking Nissan 350Z. I always thought these cars were trash, but they look up-close- his is one made by a custom manufacturer, like AMG is to Mercedes... can't remember the name, begins with an 'S'. It's in a sick gunmetal-grey colour with gold brake calipers and dark-chrome rims. Very nice.

edit: Found it, it's one of these:

Nissan makes the most exciting Jap cars of all their major manufacturers though. Toyota is shit, and Mitsubishi at least has the Lancer, but Honda is really lame since the NSX went out of production.

Gooners you're just a shameless fanboy for whatever your relatives have though, cause you think it's rich and leet.

That tuned 350Z flies and throws itself nicely.

But more importantly: is it a 350Zee or a 350Zed?

Bearing in mind this 350Z is pretty sweetly reworked; it's like comparing an M3 to a normal 3-series, or something like that. I love it, to be honest... the design is sharp.

Haven't seen the 350Z (Zedd, mind) up close, but from the pictures it looks like an ugly wish-I-could-afford-something-better chav-mobile, imo.

It's his toycar, and the custom version is (apparently) a very serious Japanese sports car, as far as they come. The 350Z is definitely not regarded as a 'wannabe chav car' anyway, they're pretty expensive for a chav . He has other cars anyway, and frankly I'm glad he got rid of his Z4... that's more like a hairdresser's car than a toycar, amirite? Never realised you guys came to this thread to be judgmental about cars anyway- fuck, get back to me when you've posted your own family cars instead of cars you drooled over in the rich neighborhoods of your town. Be right back, going to go check my garage is locked, <3 x.

Lol Jens, I literally don't give a fuck about cars, and know diddly-squat about them... but you are terrible, even in comparison to me:

Hardly a Citroen fucking Saxo, is it? Post your family cars now, plz.

I'll PM the family car history if you like

Wasn't being judgemental, note the "from the picture it looks"... wait that is judgemental, fuck it.

I've never liked the BMW Z series tbh, nor have I been a fan of BMW for anything other than "everyday" cars. If I wanted to see something on a track, I'd rather watch a Fiat 500.

For a toycar, I'd personaly get a souped up Mini or a Mazda MX-5.

Edit: @last post. Note "from the pictures it looks like". Gawd.

350Z's are supposed to be awesome handling cars. Nothing cheap or chavvy about them at all. That said, I can't say I'm a fan of the looks and there's other cars I'd buy over one. Much better than the Z4 though.

That's fucking hot. My mate had a similar one for a while, just without the new rims and low profile tyres. Gorgeous car. He had to sell it though because it may as well have had a large hole in the fuel tank for the MPG he got out of it.

I don't dislike BMW, just they've completely sold out their own 'prestige, limited supply' brand by flooding the Western market with them. They're now cheap, not particularly spectacular, and have become the status-quo for any aspiring middle-class white-collar asshole. Audi's have a bit more sophistication, but are also becoming the new "businessman wanker" cars too. As Jens said (a little naively, but I get his point)- BMW's are just bland, boring 'everyday' cars now, they've sold themselves out, literally.

I still hold my opinion, after seeing one face-to-face and getting to sit in and feel the drive of the 350Z, that it's an awesome little sports car. Obviously not a supercar, but it's hella-fun and is a mean machine. Personally I do love the aesthetic style, I think the way it all slopes back to an angular, compressed back is gorgeous.

Jens said wish-I-could-afford-something-better which I assumed to mean cheap.

Audi's are overpriced

But if you can afford them

Saw an RS5 (?) the other day, looked nice.
