The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at this/O/T (Vol XVII)

That 280Z needs those bumpers skipping pronto, otherwise lush.

Sublime.

Magnificent.

That sticker is so gloriously 80s. As are his loafers.

2008 M3 saloon with 50k miles, was £19,990.

Have a look two years later and:

Nothing wrong with that at all

A bit above what I'd pay

120k means this is probably the best example ever made. Bonus points for blanking the plates then using the reg as the auction title.

I wonder what the reserve is...

£14500000 probably.

Not a bad little shed. Tempted.

That's a good spot - is the front wheel arch rusting though, or is it a reflection?

I know. It's completely mad. They've just stopped depreciating. Really weird.

I decided this afternoon I wanted a Lightweight E Type.

I have decided this evening I want a GT40......

That video you posted was fabulous, thank you. What was the white car, Chaparral? My word that thing has poke.

Have you tried banning her from internet shoe / handbag purchases? This thread is full of great financial choices, everything from great wee sheds to the blue chip stuff. Sounds like you maybe need to buy "her" a car "present"

Will have to watch that.

Last night I watched the Evo track car of the year video.

The Lola recreation...


Edit: One day I want a lumpy, cranky, revvy V8. Maybe a big valve 4.3 Griff could do the job?

[hornetrider]

It's all about the ambers



And only 10k

[W00DY]

That blue is just awful.

Looks peachy.

[olly755]

Like.



Really cannot remember the last time I saw an untouched one.

Captures the ethos of the original Impreza's to perfection.
