Nice choice of cars you have there, do I drive the red one or the silver one? Quicker than my cars in first gear without a doubt!

Great choice of car, seriously good value for $$$ at the mo.


My mate here in Cambridge sold one last year to buy a Tuscan and has openly admitted to seriously regretting the decision ever since the first drive home in the Tusc!!


Top of my list for a summer car for the Mrs. (once I get myself one)

Back to the OP - my brother's got one of those in black. Awesome cars, and at sensible money too. He's had no trouble to speak of so far with it, either (Vanos issue already fixed on his IIRC). Enjoy... driving

No Ian it wasn't the one from Norwich, was a little overpriced for it's condition; this one came up this week, just as i parted company with the Fiesta, timing was perfect Lots of little jobs to get done, but nothing major which is fab! (Vanos fixed too)

As for Sofie, Simon's dad named her LOL I was all set for Shakira!

been pondering the garage, was thinking Ikea pine and chintz teehee

Mr Nobl e- bizarrely i was looking at the Tuscans, three things made me nervous ....saftey (needing something i can use practically everyday), reliability (needing something i can use
everyday), and worrying about where i parked it. I think this is a little less obvious to most who don't know.

So guys, does this mean that you'll both be arriving to PH Meets/events/shows in separate cars from now on?? scratchchin

Burghley is a NICE house. The 2005 Mercedes-Benz Club Concourse was held there - such an awesome back drop to that event, and indeed your new Z3M, Dawn
I have to say I didn't recognise it at firstpaperbag
