For balance, I'm still pondering Impreza P1s and TME Evos but now also contemplating whether I can grow old without having owned an M3 CSL.

No, you can't wink

Funnily enough, I was talking to my dad (who had a regular E46 M3 for 5.5 years from new) over the weekend. He suggested we need ‘a family CSL’. As he’s currently assessing whether to purchase an Alpina B3 Touring, I guess it’s up to me to provide the ‘family’ CSL.

Doing a back flip out of my comfort zone.

First impression?

Have you ever gone upstairs in your home an then noticed you have dog poo on your shoe? The anger, frustration and contempt for the pond dwelling scum who left poo where someone could step in it in the twenty first century is only over shadowed by the overwhelming disappointment caused by the realisation you have traipsed that poo through your house.

That feeling is the Renault Megane Scenic.

And to think someone walked into a showroom and brought that brand new. Staggering.

^^ This never ceases to amaze me. These things were a big seller too. Fortunately it shouldn't be long before they are all extinct and the 2nd generation version didn't seem to be anything like as possible. The whole pointless 5 seater van/car fad seems to have been a brief one.

That's the problem with parents these days. Turn your back on them for a second, and they're off with your keys, hooning around and showing off! Wouldn't have happen back in the day wink

Saying that, my CSL came as a bit of a shock to my dad the first time he was in it. Years of BMW ownership still didn't quite prepare him for the noise or the seats biggrin

I won a pair of colour coded bumpers on a popular auction site for 99p woohoo

It has made a vast improvement. From terrible to crap.

A friend popped by to laugh at me and I said...

"It's just a car".

...I've never owned just a car before, they have always been quirky, interesting, rare, fun, quick, fast or ridiculous. So just a car is a new experience for me and I'm looking forward to a guilt free commute in the morning. smile

I'd be fairly confident the old man would do a much better job of drifting a CSL than I could. He's been on the Alpina configurator this week and the first option box he ticked was the LSD laugh
