What's good for getting big areas of adhesive off car paint, without removing the car paint?

Mmmm, I like.

I'd like to know how they drive. Funny how they've been thought of as such barges but now weigh no more than a modern hot hatch.

This stuff

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autosmart-TARDIS-Tar-and...

Automotive product but I also use it for work for all different types of adhesive removal.

Best I've come across by miles.

Yes!! Never seen or heard one. But yes!

I drove one regularly a few years back, and it was genuinely eye widening to drive, and it's published power and performance figures are on the conservative side, one balmy summers evening we found out that it would pull an indicated 195 leptons on an uphill section of the M62 and was still accelerating!

I'm extremely tempted by this… Most Alpinas have awful wood interior.

What is the ride quality like? Tyres look like rubber bands and I live in pothole / speed bump hell in Fulham. If it can do a modicum of waft I may well be sold...

They'll be go flats so not awful. I thought the B5S was marginally better but the B5 is no turd.

Alpina didn't fit run flats, and the ride is superb IMO, but a pothole will always win.....

But it's the effortless pace of the thing boot it at 70 leptons and it accelerates like a dropped safe! it makes a noise that make you seek out routes with lots of tunnels/underpasses!

And the ability to upset many exotics, on that evening where we did that crazy top speed run uphill, we were in the company of a very well fettled 993TT (MOD500s yellow monster) and the B5 kept it very honest, after DeR passed it on to Vario-Rob he went on a jaunt to the fatherland and had a run in with an Audi R8V10 in which the B5 prevailed......

At a V-max event at Bruntingthorpe it pulled 180mph 4up!

Drop dead gorgeous. Surely an iron-clad investment for a 5 year keep?

It's not especially cheap, and not got what I'd call a "full Porsche service history": there are three gaps of two years between services in it's life.

And it's got the Laz-y-boy recliner seats. Do we want to take a bet on whether Ice White is it's original colour?

Loving that.

Always had a bit of 'thing' for them.

It was originally black.

Not a fan of it in white tbh.

About a billion times cooler than anything they'll currently sell you.

Gorgeous, but how on earth are you supposed to do a clean oil change with two oil filters face-down in the V?

Does it have some history then? Pretty unusual for them to have a colour change, isn't it (well, perhaps unusual for a car hasn't had a scrape...)?
