POA irked

Any guesses at the price?

Likewise - Huge Outrun fan.

Not keen on the wheels though - actually prefer the wheels on the Ratarossa!

Lovely.

I think I could blow an entire max rollover Euromillions win in one afternoon at DK.

For the last month or so i've really been obsessing about buying an X3M.

We will soon need a new, larger car. I've always liked BMW's and had an X3 35d before, which I loved. I've also always wanted an "M" car but the likes of an M2/3/4 etc just won't be practical enough.

I know that an X3 M40i would be as good as, if not better day to day than an X3M, and much cheaper to run. An X3 2.0d would probably be absolutely fine for what we need.

But still I want an X3M.

I'm going to have to hunker down and wait until this passes.

I keep on obsessing about these




I can't quite (as in nowhere near the amount needed hehe ) stretch to a Trackhawk but these seem a very usable alternative - however (there's always a 'however' isn't there!) I'd need to get rid of the Challenger and that's just not happening

I was looking at these at the time I bought my 2018 Mustang GT back in 2019.
All these years later, the same model-year cars are listed at a higher price than they were 5 years ago, and yet they all have triple the mileage.

Frustrating that they commanding that sort of money (unsure whether they're selling though) but I would have picked one up if they were low-mid 20s.
Instead, I've just put a deposit down on a Stinger GT-S.

No idea how these things stack up against the latest and greatest hybrid electrics. Not many look like this though.

The E61 M5 that’s for sale on here. I check it every day.

I drive an E61 now and can’t help thinking how much better off my life would be with 4 more cylinders and excessive maintenance costs.

I can man math it too, which is problematic.

Having just been driven in the E60 M5 yesterday and hearing it roar, it’s heightened that desire.

It’s giving Mega money pit vibes, however!

The past couple of weeks have had me indulging in a lot of daydreaming about yankie V8s, mainly the '67 to '73 Mustangs in their various incarnations...

Panamera Turbo S for under £25k

https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/15206294

Can someone convince me that it could be as potentially ruinous as I imagine.

Keep an eye out on readers cars as I'll make one shortly after I yet to collect it.

They're starting to become serious value for money.

It's more of a comfy 5 door cruiser that happens to be quite quick rather than a hard, stiff, sports saloon.

Or are you drooling over the fashions back then?

Strong desire for one of these currently. Used to own a X308 XJR but sadly the prices for a clean one have gone silly.



One of these on the slightly smaller 5 spoke wheels with an exhaust and aftermarket pulleys would do the job
