Stirling_Villeneuve 105 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I would say Boxsters and TT's but they're hardly classics! Quote Currently having an illicit affair with another marque, be back in the fold one day... Link to post Share on other sites
Loose Cannon 582 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Fiat X-1/9s at the NEC show the attended a few years back. Really what is the point, as if there aren't enough divisions in the classic car world. Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to post Share on other sites
ramjet 1,090 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Imagine the outcry if you had a sign that read "Heterosexual Classic Car Club". You'd be accused of something for sure. Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit. Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has them, some just stink more than others.

andydclements 790 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Quick Google and it seems there a Lotus/Caterham, a mix of mainly British cars (SD1, Allegro , MGB etc) and others (Saab, Porsche etc). So a fair mix of cars as you'd expect in most non-model non-brand specific clubs. http://www.gccg.org.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
obione 82 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I wonder if there are any little Imps in the club..?

Mark Blanchard 1,658 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 IIRC Bibs posted a pick of this club years ago with the cars lined up and there was a Giugiaro Esprit Turbo present. Quote Mark www.lotusespritturbo.com Link to post Share on other sites

Laura 20 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Oh my god, they let gay people like classic cars nowadays?!? Imagine the audacity of someone starting a club full of gay people to enjoy classic cars with out childish remarks about Boxters and imps... then allow straight people to join the club in sort of all accepting non-prejudice way... wont somebody think of the children!

B1 RMA 2 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I would say Boxsters and TT's but they're hardly classics! Nothing wrong with Boxsters I've been giving serious consideration to a 3.4 S with PASM its a bit like a bigger more comfortable Elise as far as my driving impressions go and a big bonus a spirited ride doesn't make me want to throw up as it does in the Elise.

If you feel sick while driving your Elise hard, then possibly you are doing the right thing; getting a Boxster that is, don't you drive your V8 hard?

B1 RMA 2 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I don't actually own an Elise or Exige but have driven both quite a lot. It's the 'jiggling' that makes me feel sick and after doing a couple of laps of Castle Coombe as a passenger in an Elise I seriously had to lie flat on one of the tables because I thought I was going to die. Don't get me wrong both are superb comunicative cars that feel like they are in touch in every way with the road. The Esprit is a much more compliant ride and the only thing I get from driving that is sweaty palms and aching cheeks from grinning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
