Looks broken...

Sub 5 grand Rangie is not a question of what's broken, more a question of what's left that still works?

Old boy in traffic this morning. My passenger was so desperate for a pic that they leaned right across me whilst I was driving, the swine.

That E34 looks tidy.

I’ve seen many 520i but never another 535i driving. Hate seeing them in the road as it makes me feel bad for not using mine as much I probably should.

That was a lucky spot. Looks like driving to the MoT station is the only time it leaves the garage...

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Absolutely love those. Such a good looking car.

 

[Gally]

One of our customers bought a clean one recently. Just reaffirmed my love again for them. Epic colour combo and proportions.

Another one we restored...

How arrived from salty Aberdeen...

It sounded ace, but was no match for the 530d when leaving the Motorway 😂

In fairness it does ten miles a year. Still hasn’t warmed up since he started it in 2021.

Couple of things today, a lovely looking FSO 125p (FSO used to manufacture them under license from Fiat, then carried on making them after the license expired, and rebadged them as FSOs)

And apparently the fire brigade have a bloody SHERP!

I guess what we consider 'classic' and 'retro' cars in the UK are just 'cars' in Poland.

Weirdly it's the older stuff that seems to be better looked after. All the stuff we see as "cars" seem to be treated like mobile skips or bumper cars here 🤣

I hope that Avantime is a V6.
Also what’s rarer…the Clio or the Avantime?!

Avantime by some distance! There are a s**t ton of V6s sorn too

 

[BIFCAIDS]

My Uncle had a Blue Avantime not long after they first came out, mental how big it was with just two doors, really good looking car. I was a bit young to know whether it was a V6 or not though.

Finally found some sporty Renaults

Someone was ragging one of those around the track on a set of slicks today 💪🏻😎

I properly love these. Unfortunately I share a surname with many folk of nomadic Irish origin who love scrap, degs and tarmac so I’m not sure I could ever own one.

He knew it too 🤣 I wish I'd got a picture of the numberplate for the private plate thread - last 5 digits were EVOII

I hope his c**k is a similar size to a swollen clitoris.

I imagine it's a copy of sorts but it sounded epic.

It's a copy , guy lives on the way to my kids school. Really nice bit of kit for a copy.

Next door got this a month or so ago, are they just stickers or special edition?

The AMR was a run-out version of that geneartion and the V12 looked like this:

Can't see from your photo whether it has the bonnet vents as well, so might just be the stickers...

EDIT: DVLA reckons it's a 4.7L, but looks like AM also did the AMR in a V8 as well as the V12. Still f**king gorgeous mind.

 

[Gally]

Looks gen to me.

Yeah, I got myself confused thinking they only made V12 AMRs, then edited my post badly.

 

[Gally]

I actually thought it was V12 and newer also in fairness. Thought the special editions were the n420 etc.

 

[Starlet_gt]

The number plate is B44SRA.... interesting!

I’m going to say just stickers. Maybe it’s the photo but I can’t see the bonnet vents, the mirror caps are black and the dash looks to be bright silver like standard and not dark trimmed like the amr.

V8 AMR doesn't have any bonnet vents though, they're only on the V12.

EDIT: I should just f**king give up as I clearly haven't got a clue. The V8 does seem to have vents, but just the two small ones up near the windscreen, while the V12 is covered in them.

@STICKER TWONK sells bonnet vent stickers iirc so could still be a rep

Doubt.

No-one who buys his stickers can use a measuring tape so that Aston would either have a 20mm stripe lost in the middle of the bonnet, or would be covered entirely under a 20m long banner.
