if it was 50k it would be in my parking space, i'd love an M breadvan. £30k for one though, keep dreaming!

[Hitch78]

Nonsense. There are Z4Ms at 90k-100k.

Shirt loves these though...

what's not to like? 1400kg rwd hot hatch with 310 easily tunable horses.

[Hitch78]

AED150k is what I don't like. If he wakes up and cuts the price in half it does look like a very nice example.

he's german. for some reason minters there do go for a lot and i guess he feels he's 'owed' a certain amount through importing & fettling. this is purely ludicrous money though. 50-60k is where you'd want to be, not 996 turbo money.

if he gets AED150k or even half of that amount, I am going to stick my M3 up for sale at AEd75k

Nice. If you removed the stickers it would look almost standard!

1. Will Dubizzle please stop wit the 'Ninja Web Monkies' down-time business, we all know they don't train them in internets stuff at all.

2. Why do downtime during a work-day? It's when I like to do my car-hunting.

[Hitch78]

Always on a Wednesday morning too - the point in the week when I am lowest as I've probably had to do some work by then and the weekend is still not on the horizon!

They used to clearly give the office boy who checks the photos Friday morning off too - so you had no idea just how far out everyone's discriptions of 'mint condition' were. tts.

7 series, with potential to sway to a quattroporte
Old SL, and because i feel like my wallet wouldnt be emptied suffiently by a Masser, how about an BM850.

Or a z4 for the missus

I am trying not to look for a motorbike for track days....

[Hitch78]

I still want a manual 911. Don't really care which - 964 would be awesome, late 996 is fine, 997 lovely. I really should have bought the 996 C4S I tested in Feb...

Yorky has got me on a XFR mission after not finding a single C63 or CL63 that is not either a. US Spec or b. abused like a ginger stepchild.

XKR or XFR?

XFR for me. There is something right about a big fast Jag saloon and one BLATS past our building every day sounding like a thunderstorm is trying to escape out of the exhaust.

Only suggested it cos it met Oily's criteria. OK, so it does not have the Merc V8 lump with that stunning zorst note _ pure heaven it is. The XFR ticks all Oily's boxes: 510bhp, 460Nm of torque, 4 decent seats, SC V8 the only thing to get over is it is a Jag!
