How do you rate the Mercedes?

I've been toying with all sorts lately (including Yank pickups) but some sort of AMG is always well up the list.
It's absolutely superb. It took me a while to really 'get it'; it's not a particularly delicate thing as you really ave to grab it by the scruff of its neck to push on, but it's very, very impressive.

The interior on that Fiesta is stunning. Really enjoyed looking through this thread.

Here's the BEAST, currently for sale as I want an MR2.


My Ride by danjama, on Flickr

Couple of buggered alloys but it has done everything i've asked of it as a first car. Very fun to drive if you manipulate the 1.4 duratec well.

Needs a good clean, which im going to do as soon as the sun is in front of my flat.

For me it's hard to chose between my current garage ornament Mk1 Focus RS and my classic 1.9 205 GTI.

Focus RS because of the custom engine build & carbon fibre parts, and 205 GTI just because it's a fun classic which i cant bear to part with biggrin

The Pug:




The FRS:




Just to add the bodykit is a factory fit Puegeot one from the early '90's and has been there since it was road registered in '91 incase anyone asks why i fitted it. Although i will admit that i'm responsible for the Morette headlights fitted on both cars hehe

Which one? I think you may be looking at the Quattro badge, for the Quattro AWD system.

Ahh, No. I know what that is! There's a button with a down arrow icon below the lock.

Oh, that opens the glove box. It's a funny arrangement, the glovebox tray opens out and extends forward on arms to give you more space, there is no opening handle.

Ahh! Thanks. My S3 had a handle so I'd assumed the 8 did too.

Love it.

Mine 4.2 V8 is on 190,000 miles now.

Interestingly the only button that has stopped working is the one you are missing, which lowers the head rests in the back.
