That looks really cool, and I wouldn't put it at a 1991 car! Looks late 90's at the earliest.. are these troublesome?

That Soarer is parked in front of an open single garage.
Would it fit?
I wonder if with those long doors its an exit via the window?

I really shouldn't like that - it's an aging, fragile monster with aftermarket paint... But I love it.

The Lexus Soarer is a great find/post and the S600 - well if it goes tits up, pull the engine and wiring loom out of it, put it on a frame and keep it in the garage to run up with no exhaust system whenever you like.

Toyota Soarer, no such car as a Lexus Soarer.

I'll check in to this volume with the jaunty information that I brimmed my 100litre tank shortly before the entire world went home, at c. 128p, and have been nowhere since. I'd love to be taking advantage of the 103p-ness.

This sounds familiar... I'm going to say FFRR.

The doors are pretty clever, sort of pivot out a bit if you know what I mean, can get in and out fine in car parks etc. Bloody big doors mind

Going back to the tail end of Vol 15, this S4 was on there, now I'm no expert on Audi's, but are these not 20 grand cars now?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-AUDI-S4-B5-2-7-Twi...

That does not belong on here.
It's an A4 which is not bargy and it's got silly large wheels with rubber band tyres, again not bargy.

Oh and having owned an A6 with the 2.7 biturbo I can attest the basic engine is sound (in fact it's bloody marvelous), but the God of pipework took an enormous st all over that engine. And every single pipe, T piece and attached sensor has a propensity to leak and fail at every opportunity. Most of those pipes seem to have no real purpose, but make the engine run like crap if it's not 100% perfect. And they all terminate in inaccessible places like down behind the block and the bulkhead.
Clutches cost a fortune due to the 4wd gubbins needing taking apart, as you can't just split the box and pull it back 12" to access the clutch.

According to the advert, it's an Autobiography with factory paint (albeit special order).

My L322 beard is long and bushy, but I've never seen one in this colour before.

Is it this colour?

Can one of the four passengers sit in the boot? Because this is nice.

I really really like that - it’s even been posted twice - anyone know where it is located?

This is soooooo last volume, but I did spot this yesterday and thought of CdG.

Consider this the ferret to chase you, well and truly, out of the metaphoric rabbit hole.

Did you take the photo Michael? That cab next to it looks intriguing.

I did indeed, though I didn't focus on the bus thing. Why is it of intrigue to you?

This thread is moving at a fair rate just now , I’m struggling to keep up. I haven’t ever seen so much drool worthy content mentioned . Still best thread on here though .
Ps where do you buy these brave pills you’re all on ? Or does it just proportionate to a healthy bank balance ? ‘ normal ‘ cars cost enough to run I find ...

Yes it is! Where on earth did you find that colour chart?

This thread never fails to deliver.

A good performance last thread. The posting rate was better than any since volume 4.

This graph shows the recumbent redhead in her full glory, complete with stabby thing.

To me, it shows a redhead with mouth open, accepting of the teabagging that she is about to receive.

TMI!!!

Oh come on now, what else would you do with the 190 nanny tulip Fraulein redhead?

Yeah, I think my posting of it got buried in the flurry of posts at the end of the last volume. Ad says Leicestershire. I think it looks rather smart on those GS wheels.

I'm sure there's a guide someplace but what is Cat N compared to other categories? Is it a bad one? That car looks ok. I'd nearly buy just to give it a good scrubbing hahahaha.
Seems to have some nice options like heated and cooled seats and they seem to have the massage function too. Also keyless entry and start, although I see the key in the dash so maybe it's not working. Also the other options might not function either.
The radio station is quite apt for anyone driving this.

Good lord! I'm seriously tempted to defy Professor Chris Whitty and bugger off up to Bury and buy that...

Let's run it through the utterly unimpeachable and entirely inscrutable thread test.

Am I in the market for a V8? Nope.

Am I in the market for a huge coupe? Nope.

Do I need this car? Nope.

Do I want it? Oh, god yes.

Test passed!

Factory paint!! Someone made full use of the Autobiography spec by the look of things. I bloody love it.
