coldel Posted September 1, 2021 Author Posted September 1, 2021 The cleaning up bit I can do...I am also finding myself looking at RS5's but almost feel like I am cheating going for a big modern V8. I think if I go German it would be an E46 M3. Quote

ilogikal1 Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Okay, using waterless wash was a major league f**k up... but it ain't a £12k+ 'Teg league f**k up! Don't. Just, please, don't. I don't know if you can tell, but I'm slightly not for that daft idea. 2 Quote

Lee370Z Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 I've had both a Z4M Roadster and a E92 M3. Both have very nice NA engines I reckon. This was the day I traded the Z4M in for the M3. 2 Quote

Bonus is that normal sized adults or huge 9 year olds fit in the rear seats no probs One of the best cars I’ve ever driven Quote

coldel Posted September 1, 2021 Author Posted September 1, 2021 I would also rather walk...that and living in London driving a diesel is not a healthy mix. Quote

Living extremely north of the “liberal elite”, I’d rather not have any propulsion than run one of them Wonder where the V8 petrol beemer sits in the “liberal elite” London still you n Dan can walk together tae the bus stop Get an Aygo 1 Quote
coldel Posted September 25, 2021 Author Posted September 25, 2021 Very nice but I have written off the idea of a two seater, can be a 2+2 or a 4 seater...I think I know what I want, just need to shift the VX Quote

coldel Posted October 9, 2021 Author Posted October 9, 2021 Deposit taken on the car, so its going to be gone by the middle of the week... So I am wondering if I hold back a little while, try buy something else in the winter when prices fall back a bit and supply outstrips demand Quote
andy james Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Congratulations on the sale Colin. Good plan to take stock and consider your options over the winter. 1 Quote
