Best Smoker Barges 1-5 large [Vol 7]

[Zwolf]

Regards the Bentley, I'm aware that another PHer has just bought a Turbo R for a little over this thread's budget. Looks great and I'm following it's progress in his hands keenly - one of those cars I'm very happy to see other people own.

[Krikkit]

Since this is the go-to place for 124 advice, is this worth a re-post?

I'm not sure how many of you beards have seen this, but it's quite interesting to see the weak-spots exposed.

I like this T5 manual saloon for £1,250 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-850-T5-manual-salo...

Make the light go away and add 12 months ticket and I'd be with you.

does the pensioner rug come with the car or are they endeavouring to hide a fked rear seat?

[Baryonyx]

The first leg of the trip is nearly over. These train seats are brutal, bring on the XJ armchairs. Should be in Edinburgh in a few minutes.

Over budget, but I'd be tempted by this.

7 grand odd in real money.

That looks really special, lovely.

Yeah, I saw that too. I even went as far as pricing up shipping/import duties etc. I reckon about another £5k on top of the asking price but if it's as nice as it looks in the pics it would be worth that and then some

Mrs Camelot1971 is not convinced (yet!).

I really wanted the S70 AMG that 4star had on sale recently. I think finding another one like it will be like finding rocking horse poo

Just over £3k with 45000 miles on the clock... mmmmmmmmmm

In Glasgow now, and minutes away from seeing the car.

I see this smart S500 is back. Wonder what happened. The vendor is a trader. Do you think that is his house or do you think he just drives round there and takes his pictures to lend credence to his ads?!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MERCEDES-BENZ-S500-W140-...

He obviously just rocks up in one of those roads near kenwood house/hampstead heath for the photos - funnily enough I spotted 3 houses in Bishops Ave with W140's outside, but they are probably Russian mafia rather than second hand car dealers on ebay.

That ultra polished red W124 E320 he sold popped back on ebay (in Guildford) a week back with the owner listing a tonne of welding needed.

Personally I mistrust sellers who put that much effort into their ads. I would rather see a car parked outside a 3 bed semi.

Can we have some Prokofiev? And perhaps a facile voice-over.

"Has Bary done the right thing? Will the car be everything he is expecting...?"

"So far so good, but will there be any fuel in it?"

"The cup of tea was nice, but the question of Nice biscuits remains unanswered. For now..."

That banal prat Raj from Helicopter Heroes would do it, or perhaps Ben Sodding Fogle.

Michael Buerke, or Evan Davies, surely?

I was thinking this was a bit beneath them.

I'll move toward you a bit - how about Ben 'Tipping Point' Shepard?

[Motorrad]

I was expecting a blow by blow account of the journey home at refueling stops ie fairly regularly.

[swisstoni]

This thread is stultifyingly dull but I keep coming back.

Anyone seen an XJ recently?

Are these such a terrible idea? S55 AMG http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/merc...

Pulled up on the drive about 20 minutes ago. Superb, what a car, what a drive. Feels great to be back in a quality product.

Great news, it's always nice to see a thread purchase. Tell us more, and pictures please! How does it drive compared to say the A8?

Get that Leper to fk!

Otherwise, nice job. Looks tidy

My XJR got MOT'd today, apparently, while a little rough on the top, underneath it's a lovely old thing. My trusty mechanic said he nearly st himself when he test drove it though, his first words were "it's a bit fking quick isn't it?"
