The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at this/O/T (Vol XVII)
Discussion
I agree regarding the R32 / GTI debate.
For the Clio, I imagine the non-V6 RS Clios are an absolute hoot (as well as much better value and more attainable). Awesome performance bargains.
However, I do have a thing for unhinged V6 MR cars
I think the V6 has its place purely due to being a bit bananas. Supposedly an absorbing drive as well as a really nice engine note. As hideously impractical as it is lovely to look at (imo):
Although one of these could also be a giggle:

Leins and dom9 - 
Seriously considered one a couple of years back but missed the boat (the one I was looking at in black was £15k, similar cars now at least £25-30k!). Still attractive imo. Gorgeous looks, sound and a rewarding drive = win.

It's difficult with prices where they are... Mine will be coming out of hibernation for its MOT in the next few weeks. It's always kept taxed, MOTed and insured but it doesn't get used enough with values where they are and my job hanging in the balance (i.e. its value may become important).
A shame because there really isn't much else like it!
Chaps, this is epic imo:
popopbanbangs 996 C4 - sweet spec, 300k miles!
Helps if you can / have access to people that know what they're doing.

Ferris - Moi? I'm not sure I still have any but will look
Back to Fezzas - this is eminently lustworthy imo:
Not sure about the dealers provenance but black on tan is working for me (a tad melodramatic but still gorgeous lines).

What I need is a Rosso with black interior example. Carbon backed seats and Challenge grills. ThankYouPlease
Looking after it for you 
WRT other colours, coming out of the Ferrari Centre last week I saw a very dark silver/charcoal grey one with bordeaux interior. Looked very smart!

My tinkered with 182 is likely much faster round a track, but I'd love to have a V6. So much presence and a real experience to drive, just don't get anything like it nowerdays. The new Clio is mad, but not quite v6 in the back bonkers.

I'm a strong advocate of non-red Ferraris. However, in the case of the 348, I think it has to be red.Not sure about the dealers provenance but black on tan is working for me (a tad melodramatic but still gorgeous lines).

Well now, that's just scuppered any plans I had to stop wasting money on Porsches. This snippet in particular makes me love to hate the guy:popopbanbangs 996 C4 - sweet spec, 300k miles!

What was the remit when you bought it?
Get stuff that couldn't be flown or had missed the flight to the other side of Europe as close to how quickly a plane could do it as was reasonably possible. It does that well.>sob<

I had a 40k miles Clio Williams and a modified 172 at the same time and they left...
Unless we run short of cash; this will never leave me! It's my favourite car ever
However, I do have a 106 XSi rebuild project on the go so I get my lightweight FWD thrills.
