Today:

NOTE: I know that these will cause some debate, and they arn't very interesting but I am thinking about getting one of them.

1999 BMW 318i SE 4dr



Yeah I know it is only the 318i and not the 328i (or similar) but I got talking to a mate on Friday and he picked his first car up yesterday.. he has a 1984 Alfa Romeo Sprint 1.5 boxer. So it got me thinking that I don't have to be normal and have a Corsa, Clio, Punto & Fiesta. Another mate has a Morris Minor as a first car.

Now I am not a huge fan of classics, so I am looking more modern and spotted this. With it being the SE spec it also has CC, EW, CD, AC, RCL among other toys.

Insurance would be taken care by this website for just £88p/m. Any reviews welcome. smile

Your mate with the Alfa is an extremely brave person! Hopefully he his parents can afford the repair bills, much cooler than the average Corsa 1.2 SXi though.

Today? Oh, I'm sure I'll get some flaming for this one. Wrong wheel drive, tarted up Golf etc...



Not this exact car. But my girlfriend and I were wandering past a VW showroom and- in a brilliant example of why I think she's The One wink - she suggested that we wander inside, since I like drooling over cars and so on.

Ten minutes later, I find myself sat in the driver's seat of a red Scirocco 2.0 with a DSG gearbox. It was only parked up and the salesman was too busy with other customers to prise money out of me that day. hehe

Just as well really. I'm saving up for a Z4 coupé that's a better car in almost any way, and it's cheaper too. I already drive an Octavia vRS so a Scirocco's going to be very similar to any other one of the Golf/Leon/A3 family.

But I had a bad attack of want. Just as well that salesman was busy...

And my girlfriend? She didn't like the lack of reversing view but she did like an Eos. I can partly see the appeal, but don't think I'll end up agreeing to that one though. wink
