A lazy automotive weekend, can't even remember when that happened.
So my GT3 friend decided to pay me a little visit, but not with the kermit green GT3 this time.
Choice of the day was a black car specially designed for psychopaths.
Yes ! It has mudflaps !
Well, it is bonkers ! What a ride .. but be careful as it could be a ride to hell if you don't take care.
So of to have a chat with some car minded people ... I'll only post this better than 'fresh of the factory line' Ferrari 328 GTB.
No words ....
Let's stop drooling now, back to reality.
As the Yaris just left another old friend passed by.
A yellow 911 , honestly this is the best color.
After a spirited drive I must confess that this is one serious car. The 3.0 turbo puts out 370 hp but I guess there are a few more in that engine .... this feels 10 times better than any Cayman to be honest.
So this week I went back to the reality of real life and decided to put on some new tires on my 10K car.
Those are my original wheels painted/refurbished in another color.
Tires are the new-ish Michelin Pilot Sport 5, no 4S or 5S available for only 17 inch :-(
One jack, 2 wheels of the ground, saves time.
Better take this stuff away before I take off !
New look, I wonder how fast I will get tired of this color
.
Sooooooo ... what's next ?
I'll give ya'll a little hint ;-)

Plenty to enjoy here …
The Yaris is a lot of fun and almost infinitely customisable. Any Ferrari is a special car and the 328 GTB is a modern classic. I remember when these cars were selling for double the retail price when new. The Porsche Carrera T is in my opinion the finest...
Indeed !
I was really surprised by the T. Enjoying the Clio since 2010 and 170.000 km now.
It used to be different ...
Mudflaps on ugly cars back in the good old days Love the Z4 M Coupé, I remember some nice drives in one of these.
I’d never seen a photo of this one.
I sold mine, and I kinda regret it. I was regretting it when I handed over the keys. Alas, unlike watches cars take up more space and that’s a problem which is hard to solve in this city.
Didn't know you sold yours! I regret letting this one go too, lots of better faster newer but I don't think anything I've driven since has been any more fun... but this city hates cars
Between the parking costs, traffic, congestion tax, tools, speed cameras, limited access to gas or maintenance, and now NOISE meters no car is fun here. I too have been really questioning if it's time to give up car ownership. I don't even know what the p...
Well I didn’t quite go from have to have not.
But the Z4M is gone. Replaced with something else that is not anywhere near as fun but which was an itch that needed to be scratched !
As soon as I have the new 'toy' my friend.
Although I don't know why I needed another car .... .
Amazing post and cars, big fan of the GR Yaris...
Your Clio looks so good, if the color bores you, you can wrap it in a new color or a new Le Bim Special livery Can't wait to see what you add to the stable next, is it a car with a built in coffee machine? Hahaha S
Indeed ! That Clio is amazing ...
... it feels lately like the engine even loosened up a bit more LOL . A built in coffee machine ? Don't give me ideas, this newcomer will be a car I will do most of the driving. This way my Clio and especially the Megane can be at ease more. Even my Renau...
My lips are sealed and wearing a necklace of garlic so
All should be well hahaha I like it better too when things are more loosened up looool Imagine cruising in your car with some nice espresso, life will be good 👍 hahaha
Thanks Bill !
This weekend will be ... kinda relaxing as well, 'working' in the forest.
Great pics
Looks like you had a great time. I may be in a minority but I didn't find the GR fun. Incredibly efficient and fast, but give me a twitchy and edgy fwd or rwd for pure fun. I haven't tested the 2nd gen yet. The 911 is such a classic, love them in bright c...
I would prefer my Clio as well to be honest.
I think the Yaris is too over engineered and probably way too fast to really enjoy.
Yes that's it I fear.
And not cheap at +40K ... in France with the 'malus' it's 95K now ... LOL
Yes, CO2 is apparently 'very' high.
Check the French government website on 'Malus 2024'
Old cars ...
.. I know :-( We'll never see this again I'm afraid. But I guess progress is a good thing.
Clubman next? 🧐
The Clio looks sweet with new rubber but primarily interested in your opinion of the GR?
I didn't drive the GR myself.
Although I really think it's a very cool car .... I have this feeling a Clio 3 RS like mine is the one to get ;-) If you spend 25K you can have a sublime car with all the necessary goodies: LSD Light wheels Wider track, be it with wider OZ wheels or space...
