Big. dumb. Fast. Available.

and unlike everything similar from Japan from the same era....still pretty cheap.

As a ridiculous ride to rumble about in on the weekend, its got some charm. Back seats for kids, too.
My best mate has a low(ish) mileage one of these in black - and very nice it is too, they are going up in value though, especially in the US. There are quite a few over here (saw these at the weekend

Jaguar XF SV8... supercharged V8 for under ten grand. It would be crazy not to, right?!

Same for the summer.

Then I go and look at Dodge Chargers again and I've changed my mind.

At least a Charger would be slightly more practical and a lot more comfy in the winter biggrin

I am always looking at Caterhams as well but at the minute I am looking at fiesta st’s as well. Mainly performance editions.

This week's mental knee trembler - a Piper GT with just 17 miles on the clock since new, there's quite a story behind this one, the new owner Mark has only had it two months and hasn't been able to drive it properly yet...

Had one of the later ones nice cars lovely induction noise and had an M performance exhaust .

Only really issues MPG but that’s whatever … more serious is that they are hard to ‘wake up’ on UK roads. The engine loves to rev so ideal roads would be fast rolling curves of the type that rarely exist in the UK at least into what SE where I am. As a result if usually felt a bit frustrating taking it out.

This is it really, I think I’d just get frustrated with it. I already have an E92 and at legal speeds I’m not sure the M3 would feel all that different other than sounding much better.
I do quite fancy an m135i or m235i but the stories of the bouncy rear ends puts me off.
Probably end up with the 330d forever laugh
