I've gone mad

I really have been obsessing over Toyota Estima and Nissan Elgrand imported party bus things. They're fricken ace... One I found had bloody reclining chairs in the back with foot rests that pop up from beneath. And because they are Jap imports they aren't saddled with nasty diesel engines, instead creamy 3.5 litre V6's

Even mid 2000's versions have lots of kit like reversing cameras and those 360 deg view setups. I'm even drawn to the weirdly awful fabric they use for the seats. It looks like a windows 95 wall paper.

While I was looking I also found this:

you'd be the epitome of cool if you had that down cornwall with a few boards in the back. Its got suicide doors! what more does a person need?!

E34 and F10 are much better looking 5 Series than the E39 and E60 IMHO, and despite loving E24's all my driving days I've never 'got' the looks of the boxy E28.
Damn you, I'd forgot how good looking the E34 was

my boss from about 8 years ago had a 535i sport in manual

but modern toys? a very late E39 is where its at.

Looks like Shadow Blue? My Mk6 was that colour quite liked it. Subtle but different from the norm.

I think so. There are loads of Blue R32's but most GTI's seem to be silver or black. Having had two black cars in a row I want something different, ideally red or blue.

Jag XK's lately, I'm hell bent on replacing the 159 oil burner with one. In my price range I'm probably looking at 100,000+ miler but it'll be ripe for a quality LPG install -

My dad has one in that colour, it's a wonderful thing. 5.0 V8 but non R, it's gorgeous.
