odds that the nsx ad is genuine are miniscule

[shirt]

how does it look up close? my learned bmw bearded friend tells me this is not a genuine tii. the seller ignored me last time it was for sale when i enquired about the provenance.

it's very pretty, but given he had it up for 90k to start with this time around i can't see him being rational in a price discussion based on fact.


ps - yorky, have you decided whether to sell or keep the evo?

[shirt]

i wouldn't know either. jase told me, the engine's all wrong apparently plus some interior details.

[shirt]

there's very little to compete against those two really, the RR isn't in the same category.

where's the house? is the size limitation due to the roads?

only things i can thing of are alpina b7 [ALL the toys and the pace, but a big bugger] or a quattroporte,

stick with the v10. just make sure yiou get a good warranty, can't see your mrs being happy with a tuned v10 breaking down every time she wasn't to dash to the shops.

PS - houston not a goer in the end then?

boom!

manual nsx for 130k

seen that. its prices like that for what isn't 100% orginal that makes me think i'll never afford an early 911/2

thats not even 60% original!!

i know. i think i might actually have seen this one for sale on US ebay before. deffo silver with an overkill tan interior like this.


PS - that xk is a lot of car for the money.

stick the ad on evolve mate. they love their ricers.

[shirt]

i dunno, that is the epitome of gcc spec to me.

did you ask if the nix was for sale? he usually brings that kind of thing in to order, never even sits in the showroom.

this is tidy, but last sentence doesn't sound dodgy at all…

looking for a tow car as the wrangler is too soft and floaty to control a fully laden trailer.

30k tops
4x4 or pickup
off road capable for camping [sand trails and wadis, not dune bashing]
decent nvh levels on-road
bags of torque and decent brakes

currently thinking disco 2, fortuner, pathfinder type rugged/capable or maybe trade a little capability for comfort and go toureg or similar.

ideas?

how so? i read the early ones weren't up to much but improved from 05 on.

[shirt]

so what you're saying is that the tundra is the sensible option? good good.

[shirt]

escape looks a good buy, cheers.

nice try on the honda, but i've already thought about putting a tow bar on this instead

[shirt]

the actual prospect of owing an escape fills me with dread. ending up with something sensible is gonna be hard.

i take it you're the guy i met with the sore finger when dan was showing me how to crash model planes?

is the car honest, any issues etc? seems a bargain at that price and mileage

oh, and didn't it get keyed at one point hence the wrap?

a lot of car for the cash:
