Congrats, that is a lovely colour as well, suits it perfectly.

Debadge it for traffic light grand prixs

I will of course have to chirp up here and make everybody aware that it was I who picked out this car for Oily. My invoice for commission is on its way mate! hahahahaha

[Dusty964]

Good shot.

Lovely car.

it is a stunning colour, really pops in the sun. there's a maroon one parks next to me in my building and that looks too pipe n slippers for what lurks beneath.

good buy, sufficiently below the R8 threshold as not to annoy!

[oilydan]

Yes, much thanks to Yorky for pointing me in the direction of the big cat, not something I would have thought about normally.

Send as many invoices as you want, with no contract in place you will just be wasting paper

Get the deed done before Saturday will ya. There's a Track Day - International Circuit so you will have the two long straights to play with.

GO ON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO

The Whispering Assin could be performing some gaint killing acts.

[oilydan]

Seriously thinking about it. The spanner in the works could be me having to strap a plank to my feet and go snowboarding with one of the directors here at work. I am trying to get him to agree to Friday AM, not Saturday.

Well, you did say the tyres will not last long on the car! hahahahahaha

If (and until i have seen it tomorrow, its a big if) i end up getting the amazingly cool old AMG S72 (for giggles only) i will use this forum to promise to allow Phil (and anyone else really, i dont care) to take it around the track, on the proviso that it gets filmed, both from within and without.

I dont know why I want it, im sure it has more than sufficient ability to rape the bejesus out of my wallet, but i am strangely drawn to the idea of the old barge.

Nice car..

I've about a week in DXB before I bugger off again to do silly travelling, so have been scanning Dubizzle, (err.. working hard) and have a number of ideas..

Favourite completely left field sillyness is currently http://tnydu.biz/DOi0U7

I think I'm going to get a slap from someone in Barsha for posting that..

Best description ever?

'Throughout the Corvette, it seems as if some design team had been determined to sterilize all the character out of the command station. There is no suggestion that this is the spaceship on wheels it could be if only the designers had taken advantage of current technology. It's not luxuriously distinguished as the most expensive Chevrolet — or even identified as a Chevrolet at all. Padding with imitation stitching covers the front wall, but the steering-wheel rim doesn't even rate fake thread to disguise its test-tube origin.
It is simply the Best in its time... '

He/she must be listing magic mushrooms somewhere else on Dubizzle surely?!

Like I told you earlier, you can buy what you want but I will be taking money from you on a very regular basis


I can see a pair of shoes from Christian in my not-too-distant-future

re Dan's XFR, that is proper wolf in sheep's clothing, I don't remember ever seeing one, now I am looking for them I saw two this morning, one silver, one black.

That blue is definitely the colour to have, the black was quite nice though.

at least your mrs will be happy with that, knowing full well you won't pull in it.

In my defence, as an apple fan, 'shiny thing make it all better'

I'm just trying to out pose a colleague who has finally bought a Mustang after ages of looking and checking specs etc. Only thing I've been able to determine from her about the spec is that its green.
