A friend of mine who is a keen (amateur) photographer took these pictures of two of my cars. Not sure about the effects. I like the Ford ones more. He has done more landscape stuff in the past and asked if he could take a few of my cars to get his eye in.

That's a pretty cool combo to have, what's your favourite to drive if you could choose between them?

I have 5 cars all told, each is completely different to own and drive (purposefully). The M3 is an awesome machine, both a monster and practical, rapid yet comfortable, raw yet refined. The Model A is just great fun, a little scary (the brake is on the right and the accelerator in the middle, 50mph feels like 150mph and the brakes are, err, well it has some) and gets the best response from other people.

I couldn't choose between any of them really, they are all great for different purposes. I would say the M3 is the best all rounder I've ever owned though. I doubt I'll ever part with it.

Thanks, yeah my tastes are pretty eclectic. Here are the other two I own (plus a Tiguan which is nice and solid but not very interesting).

You've just notched yourself up a whole 'nother level of respect!

I love it. I'm finding it hard right now not to be envious!


Out of curiosity, how much is the model A worth?

About £20k, it's concourse though. You should get one for £15000 in fair to good condition if you can find one. There's a reasonable cream one on car and classic at the moment. Needs some work and is missing some bits but seems ok.

Edit - phew just read your profile, hope you're recovering from your accident ok!
