I don't quite know how I ended up with this lot but here i am...Not really needing a car in London I bought another place next to the sea with a DRIVE and a GARAGE! I also used to like having one iconic, crazy, collectable car but I sold them and now the entry price is too high to get back in smile

The Alpina is a workhorse, will carry most things to the tip, go to beach, kids are allowed to eat in it..Surprises people with its turn of speed. I think its my favourite...Can park in car parks at supermarket without a care in the world.

The Peugeot is a tin can but impossible to break the speed limit in most situations. Bought it as a track car but its gone up in value and seems a shame as its in lovely condition and low mileage.

The Audi is nice and safe and good for driving the 150 miles between houses. Very quick, a lot of fun and excelled on a recent road trip to Scotland. Nice to have a heavily depreciating asset too smile Can't really throw it around but it is what it is and the engine is superb.

The BMW....30k miles...Better than money in the bank I suppose...I am not convinced by it..I bought it to get the manual experience after selling my Cayman GTS but it seems quite heavy...Plus I have owned several CSL's so the bar is too high I think.

Thats a nice selection, so if you were forced into sending 3 to the crusher and the other you were allowed to keep, which one would it be ?

More details on the alpina please, the B3 is one of my all time favourites, I'd I could lay my hands on a 3.0 or 2.5 coupe in manual form I'd be a happy man!

All great cars and I really fancy a B8 RS4 at some point.

Great Collection, love the M3 and the Alpina, don´t like the RS4. Audi´s 4.2 liter V8s are famous for not having as much power as they should have and creating huge repair bills.
