That sucks. If you ever need anyone to start the LFA up, make sure it’s running alright in your abscence then let me know wink

Apart from a Jimny or a Panda 4x4, I've never had any desire to own a SUV/4x4, but I've been watching 1001 Russian YouTube movies of Nivas being customised and even then they don't necessarily look Kahn:

I know it's stupid, too large and doesn't handle well, but I don't care. It looks great for me, and would be a fun car. Currently in position to consider a 392 with a manual. Don't really want an S/C version, but certainly want those arches. Perfect mid-life car.

With all the post snow potholes my spine is begging me to buy something better suited to our British cart tracks roads.

Keep coming back to this S4.

Fair few Ponies strapped under the hood, but is it really worth that amount?

Both a 2017 grand Cherokee SRT, and a few Mustang GT’s. Head says Cherokee, heart (and wallet) say Mustang.

No, I had a ko4 s4 a few years back, great in a straight line but steering was very numb. Plus a lot of maintenance stuff is engine out

Yes in 2019 that's still the backbone of a tuned car advert. What an age we live in lol

155k on a highly strung twin turbo with potentially massive maintenance implications. No ta

1998 Mercedes-Benz CL 600 AMG 7.0 (1998)

Advert says 7.0 but I thought the CL600 AMG was a 6.0 ...

Been obsessing about the e89 z4 since the summer. Think I can get away with two seats and looks like a great package, even with the lesser four pot turbos.

Sadly moved house not so long ago so still trying to get on an even keel before I can make any vehicle based purchases!

Sold an 09 SRT8 and replaced it with an R8 V10, now really really want a Hellcat. If we don’t go ahead with a pending house purchase which is looking wobbly, I’m getting one. Would love the widebody, but funds won’t got that far.
