Best smoker barges 1-5 large [Vol 14]
Discussion
Nowhere near budget, no doubt, and maybe not really a barge. But I have a lot of want for this: https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1090142

From when Peugeot stilĺ made cars worthy of any note.Sadly,they have now become the swarf on the floor below my lathe after their woeful 2008 offering and probably never to rise again to any respectful level again within 1-5k Bargefulless again withìn my life-time.
Their 2008 must rank as the worst car I have ever driven.
Absolutely a barge. And fabulous.

In the town of Fez today and I had the good fortune to see the King of Morocco and his motorcade go past today
His car of choice?
A W140 S600 V12 in black with a flag at the front. Lovely to see a man of such wealth driving this machine
He’s probably a threadist longtime lurker. His car of choice?

I saw that a night or two ago and was attracted by the glorious and unusual colour.
My boil pan turned summer when I read "converted to manual" only turn decidedly tepid when I read "wrap".
I'm possibly just being a Luddite, but I just can't quite get this 'wrap thing' to ever sit neatly with me.
Anyone else in the room?
Me too; wrapping is the 21st century equivalent of the kiss of death brush paint jobs given to old wrecks for their final weeks, during the early 1970s.My boil pan turned summer when I read "converted to manual" only turn decidedly tepid when I read "wrap".

The 508 looks sort of OK
I occasionally drive a 308 and it's grim to drive - every last essence of driving pleasure engineered out of it, terrible ergonomics, a really poor gearchange
I think that's an absolutely stunning car. Genuinely one of the best-styled cars on sale.I occasionally drive a 308 and it's grim to drive - every last essence of driving pleasure engineered out of it, terrible ergonomics, a really poor gearchange
If only it was XE-shaped or Giulia-shaped underneath then I'd really be a-hankering.

My girlfriend recently told me that her colleague had bought a horrible new car and then proceeded to tell me it was a Peugeot 508. She generally has pretty good taste in cars so it was a surprise and something we couldn't disagree on more as it's one of very few new cars I would own. Strangely another car I love that she has vetoed is the 406 coupe and it's not because she cares that they are Peugeots.
How can she hate the 406 Coupé? Oh my.

I had a good poke around one of those in a showroom while waiting for a sales child to find some keys to a van. I occasionally drive a 308 and it's grim to drive - every last essence of driving pleasure engineered out of it, terrible ergonomics, a really poor gearchange
They're bigger than I thought, have more toys than hamleys and are a lovely place to sit (for a few minutes anyway). But I still can't get my head around the idea of big luxury spec cars running 1.6 litre engines both petrol and diesel.
Downsizing is awful but I think EV is going to have to move up a gear before it's a worthy replacement in many people's eyes.

....when the boring Corolla does eventually die.....
Good luck with that. My putative son-in-law acquired a Starlet nearly 5 years ago, for about £600 (NO! I am not referring to my daughter), and has taken it down to the Central Massif twice, across the UK, leaves it unloved on the road in all weathers, spends about £5.50 to get it through the test every year, no word of regular maintenance.
It just goes on, and on, and on....you'd have thunk it was teutonic. No a/c, no pas, nothing to go wrong, but everything built to work. For tuppence.
