On the train again: Mercedes CLK230 komp

[Mad Maximus]

Seen people like these ride alongs so why not mine. Love a good train ride but the only reason I ever take one now is to buy a car or motorbike as it just costs too much. Anyway you’ll have to wait to see if I buy it with the petrol station photo and that will also reveal what it is. Little hint, I’ve never had a supercharger before.

Hmm intriguing....

Jaguar?


I sadly have to spend more time than I would like on trains, and never to buy cars. I think the Thameslink between London and Brighton is possibly the most dreary thing imaginable!

Cooper S?

[macron]

Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8S!

Aston!

Not a VW TSI I hope!

[croyde]

Lotus Emira

[ABMA]

Jaguar F type

[Mad Maximus]

Some of those do sound nice but sadly or happily probably happily this is well deep into shed budget territory. It isn’t terribly exciting but it’s the sort of thing I like.

A VW Corrado?

Let’s hope she’s as described. I don’t want to get another train!

[Mad Maximus]

Not gona confirm until petrol station photo but another clue the engine size is slightly odd.

A Mazda rotary ?

Talking of the train fares being so ludicrous that it makes one avoid them......

I need to be in Rotterdam the weekend of the start of the school holidays in the UK.

Ferry/Chunnel costs are sky-high, then there's the long boring drive plus cost of fuel.

I came back the other day and I left Rotterdam about 1230pm and wasn't home in West London until gone 9pm.

Harwich to Hoek is about £600 economy return that weekend.

Flight on BA was only £240 but my brother told me to look at Eurostar. Well normally I do check and it's usually north of £400 but they had no tickets yet for sale leading up to that weekend but there on the Saturday was £39.

Bet they'll sting me for the return. No! got a £39 coming back too. £78 return, 3.5 hours each way.

Back on topic, have we seen the car yet

Supercharged.
Odd engine size.

The Jag V6 that's a V8 with bits missing?
