‘The 996 is closer to the GT2 of urban legend: a Turbo that has to be tamed. The 997 feels more like an heir to the original 930: a super-GT with a wild side.’

But of course within five minutes of picking this up a 4D-plated Golf R decided he needed to prove his virility with a carving undertake and DSG burp.

Still in love with this car even after two decades. The 182 Trophy is also worming its way back into my affections after a recent wobble with those rather tempting Alpine A110 0% finance deals. Typically, the Clio love is coinciding right at the point where the cars requires ££££

Christmas, work and family have meant I’ve not had too much time to dive in to the wonderful first printed issue of Craig Toone’s Rush Magazine. I wish him all the best, and the note and mention in the back of the mag was lovely.
If you’ve yet to get a copy it’s worth a look.

Apparently, it's International Magazine Day. That's as good a reason as ever to introduce our first-ever print edition of RUSH. What a ride it's been, please check it out and support https://t.co/pRusByrXOR
[5/5] The focus of the M3 R did not come cheap - the list price of the car increased by a staggering 50 %. Perhaps that's why only 15 cars were built, again all in Alpine White...
The lesser seen #BMW#E36#M3 R. A special commission by BMW Australia via Frank Gardner Racing, the R received the M division's full endorsement and blessing.
Taking a 3.0 M3 GT as its base, a zero-options donor car would be shipped down under and extensively modified...[1/4]
but further tailored the spec in several key areas. Unique to the M3 R, alongside the extra power, was the choice of a road or racing clutch, mated to a lightened flywheel. The R also came with lightweight BBS alloys which were an extra 0.5” wider at the front for additional grip
a freer-breathing intake, optimised exhaust ports and a new ECU. The M3 R also got the dual pickup oil sump and received enhanced front discs (324 vs 315 mm).
Frank Gardner Racing opted for the final drive specification of the Euro-GT, rather than the super short M3 LTW version,
Weighing in at 1,360 kg, the M3 R could only be purchased by those in possession of a racing licence and with its 322 bhp output, is officially the most powerful E36 M3 sold to the general public. The extra go was courtesy of revised camshafts (rumoured to be AC Schnitzer items),
Why we think the #Ftype#ZPEdition is a swing and a miss by #Jaguar. A £30,000 styling exercise is a poor way to pay tribute to 75 years of stylish and innovative sports car heritage https://t.co/Owmo3ESH8X
Still one of our favourite images we've captured. A legendary hot hatch kicking up dust along a tight and twisty country B-road. Love the energy
