Hop on the train anyway. I'll knock your fare off the price, fill you with biscuits and tea and you'll be home in time for beer. It's even got half a tank in it and tax til January.
That's tantamount to grooming.

What's with the black plastic arch covers? Are they standard or a more subtle way of covering worm than chrome ones?

They're to cover the wider AMG wheels (I think the arch lips are rolled in that case too).

You don't know how tempting that is. However my main reason for the distance limit is looking at a few this weekend, but to make a decision Monday after I phone the garage, I don't intend to buy this weekend.

As I said though, if they really are dross, then I shall just have to suck it up. wink

My first choice would be whatever BMW have chosen for that car .........seeing as better tyre 'testers' than us will have settled on that choice already.

Ah, thanks.

Can't see how they've come up with their comedy pricing, it's more than double the most expensive one in the UK.

Here's one with the same mileage and two years younger, could probably be had for less than 5k.

Check the paint.

Looks like the N/S/F wing has had some fairly recently.

Other than that, cracking.

So. Much. Want.

I think all my Ferraris would be blue, except my F40.
