Better to have that valid reason before you buy it than after & you are ruined.
Now is a sweet spot on some cars if you can get in & out with minimal/no depreciation. Usually the biggest expense in owning a car.
If Tax, Insurance, warranty, consumables is £2500 a year on top of £5k...
If you are going 340i route.
Need to go touring.
Then you have a reason for why you did not buy an M.
I still want to scratch B58 itch. But probably go M140i for smaller lighter package ( & manual availability)
Fair enough. I have always liked the idea and a few blokes at work use them as there only vehicle.
I guess they are small enough to be a daily or ok on tight roads.
However the trade off I guess is less space. But great for 1-2 people.
Big old awning there. I thought you were using that as a Garage.
When you are using an awning that big is there much benefit over an estate car with a big tent?
Interesting. Had been considering a late plate molten orange st3 5 door, pretty much the rarest combo, can't be more than 100 cars. 5 doors being rarer than st200 and having same chassis upgrades.
I like 5 Dr in mk7 as it breaks up the big rear arch expanse.
Also like that faults known with...
Where are people on a mk7.5 vs mk8?
Top end prices on earlier car are 12.5k where earliest examples of later car are 14k, st200 into mk8 prices.
Guess maybe different answer std and tuned?
Oh I also test drove a 1995 Corrado VR6 Storm & a Red UK 1999 Integra Type R back in 2004 before buying a 306 GTI-6.
I still think the 306 was the better car but history not reflected in the values.
My Bro had a Mk 2 Astra GTE 16v. Superchiped with Scorpion Exhaust in say 1995. It was balistic. I still do not understand how 160 - 170 bhp felt so fast. But my 110 bhp Manta would eat it alive in the twisties. Steering had no feel either in the Astra.
Saw a Yellow Lambo Gallardo today. Cracking job of reverse parking it. Looked & Sounded Amazing.
Sorry no picks was Q'ing up for 50p Costa.
Always great when you hear a car from inside a shop.
What about Bridgestone re070, had a look the other night for subaru as were Oem.
Could not find any, have theg been discontinued or does no one stock in winter as a summer tyre.
Pics do look good on that site with the snow reflecting. I love the earlier STI chairs with the extra diagonal stitching,
Keep thinking about selling our Blob STI. Had for 6 years. What do you replace it with? Noise amazing. Reliable, Depreciation free.
Loving that Corrado 20VT on that...
Someone in my mates street deals in them.
I remember going round his house and there were 4 sitting parked in the street.
He just thought they were beatup old estates.
I said the same to the wife. These journalists are legends. But shocking presenters.
What you need it a cricket player, comedian and a small monkey. Combined with a big budget production team.
