Very good said. We can all drive fast, depends on how good we think before we do. There is absolutely no need driving dead fast on the road.

Sometimes some MK (not Mark ) boy push my E60 and then pass me suddenly, I feel very funny about them.

well you can say many things too like R8 dont what to be the 1st car to hit a dog
but all in all if just talking about cars then I still dont think R8 is good for roads like this, it just too narrow.
But If on the Nürburgring then the civic has no chance at all.

I would still rather the R8.... or a Murcielago (which is not suitable for TMS of course)

If you think a cars performance is based on how well it handles TMS only, then i am afraid iw ill have to disagree with you.

Everyone agrees that a Civic or similar is best suited for TMS, but that doesnt make it a good car, nor does it mean that people would buy it...

I would rather not have a car then buy a Civic! ha ha ha

I think if you can afford to buy a R8, no 1 would ever think of buying a jap sports car.
as we all said before no matter how good is the car, in the end it still a jap car.
