So I'm an idiot.

Sell all bar the bike and buy something amazing?

Did tempt me, but don't want to to be honest!

Porsche : is going.
Jag : never being sold.
Bike : toy.
M3 : daily.
V6 : classic garage queen/toy.

I like having a choice and completely different cars, strange but that's just me!

Me personally, I'd have sold the Porsche, M3 and V6 and bought a C63 AMG because i fapping love them, but that's the good thing about cars, it's all personal choice!

It is massively tempting to do this! I might hold off on it until driving a V8V. The V6 is ridiculously special but then I'll have 3 expensive cars to own and run…and I don't quite know how special a V8V is…hmmm.

The exact thing I was thinking :)

I'm currently having a quote done to refurb my alloys on the Gti, as well as the front bumper resprayed bringing the car back to mint condition allowing me to enjoy it and keep it another 18 months/2 years then going for a new C250/C300 when they release them. They look stunning. Couldn't afford to run a C63 and buy a house though lol!

The V6 could be kept as a garage queen Sunday car. It feels special. And buy the V8V instead of the M3. You're welcome.

Fact is you've bought cars that won't really depreciate so it matters not a joy.

Can't afford a V6 and V8V dude!
Had time to think, not sure it's the right move now!

Joe. I'm coming to Derby. Lol.

Seriously though, I thought you'd picked up that CSL that was up on cutters.

What's the spec of the V6? It's one of them 'must own at some point' cars, same as an M3. When you sell the V, like next month, PM me!

Nice purchase.

V8V isn't a wonderful daily driver. Manual is very clunky and the Sport Shift is just s**t!

I do laugh at the CS mentality. You need to sell all and buy this. On the basis of nothing other than I like it...Or Chris Harris likes it!

V6 is definitely on, collecting tomorrow after work!

Was tempted Dave but not with those miles…wasn't quite cheap enough I don't think.
It's completely standard mate (although I'm unsure if it has an aftermarket exhaust as it's louder than I thought, in a good way!). Hopefully be keeping this one a while…famous last words!

Haha true!
Ended up scrapping the V8V idea, just seems like throwing too much money away for a year of fun, whereas this will hopefully be the opposite, but we'll see!

Nice one!!

More pics please!!

Will get some up at the weekend when I do the first clean!

As beautiful as the V8V is, they aren't particularly fun...I think you've taken the right approach with the Clio.

Lovely :) you always did want one so glad you finally got round to treating yourself!

If the exhaust is massive and rusty its standard, anything else will be after-market ;)
 
Awesome purchase mate bet your chuffed to bits, was this the one on autotrader? I was tempted by this if so.

I think your collection you have is better than selling all for an amg c63 a friend has one & as good as the engine is it dosnt feel special at all imo.
