Post your new car here

[Thejimreaper]

So it appears there are a fair few new cars being bought or considered at the moment. I thought it may be a good idea to have a thread for everyone to post pictures of their new P&J, all in one place. With the meet season only just round the corner it may be a good place to post links to cars your considering as well to get some extra opinions.

I'm unfortunately not lucky enough myself to be looking for a new car at the mo with lots of changes at work, new house blah blah blah, however I do feel like I need a toy and this is very tempting as a way to keep me amused!

Technically not bought a new car yet but a really decent bloke came round today and has purchased the Mondeo off me so its time to start car shopping!! Watch this space. I see poor mpg, high insurance and big smiles coming my way very soon!!

Enjoy your shopping expedition this weekend Jim now I know what's in your basket

Cheers Dave. Funny how your plans can change in a week. One minute i'm telling wifey that I am going to click 'buy it now' on a KTM supermoto on eBay, then she says "I dont want you getting a new bike, why dont you get a new car", Mondeo goes on PH next day, 5 days later it is sold and I looking for a replacement. Good week!!

Thats more like it Stef!! I went with Jamie to see that car a few weeks back and the condition is fantastic. I think he would have bought it if it was in his budget! I look forwards to hearing it soon.

[Thejimreaper]

Very nice Aston there mate, hope to see it at some meets soon.

[Thejimreaper]

Stef if you see a brightly coloured BMW estate driving slowly past your drive during the early hours, that will be me checking out the new motor. Its amazing how much yours and DB9 Marks roads get patrolled!!

Alien green, the best colour. I was only looking at one in that colour the other day in the classifieds. Hope to see it at some of the forthcoming meets.

Good work Jimbo. Good to see you'll still be using Satan's fuel

Haha, yeah!! Collecting it Monday morning.

[Thejimreaper]

Lovely C63. Here are a couple of photos of the BMW I am collecting on Monday morning.







I would normally be overly excited, but as it is my 30th wifey has rented me a Porsche C4S this weekend so I have been out doing 200miles in that today and again tomorrow. Great fun!! Its on my drive now so I am pretending its mine!!

[Thejimreaper]

Congratulations on the purchase mate. Bet your wishing this week away then!

[Thejimreaper]

Very nice Aston. This years meets should be fun with all this new metal. Shame we can have a meet earlier than April!

[Thejimreaper]

Thats what we have been waiting for Stef!! You about this week or you working??

[Thejimreaper]

I dont actually work out of there anymore Mark, but do spend a fair bit of my time round there as I know where I am going!

Heres another couple of my new car, all good so far. Just need to get it out for a run/meet when work allows. Really like it though, definitely made the right choice. Pro photos coming soon when I have sorted a location, possibly starring another familiar face?!

I am about mate after 4pm, car is laid up until I get the wheel back from Eden's though as the full size spare is of course a front wheel full size which is a tad narrower than the rear so it would be limited to 49MPH if I drove it, unless you fancy meeting somewhere local like Costa on Bursledon Road for a drink and chat?

Jamie did say he might make the breakfast club on Sunday at the hut too, definitely hoping to be fully back on the road by then!

Stef

Cool, I will speak to Jamie. Whats happened to your wheel.
