I don't know anything about them so I am not qualified to suggest that this is a good price or not, but just look at it! http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C515239

^^^^^ What a disaster.

Today, the old fart in me is really loving the blue ST110 Pan European. I remember seeing one of these in M&S Motorcycles in Newcastle and being in awe of it. Those massive fairings and huge cockpit seem really enticing to a bloke who rides a bike with no fairing, and not even a screen to keep him out of the wind! I'd love to tour through Germany and Italy on one of these.

Someone broke down costs of old Diablo ownership and that dream just vanished so fast for me biggrin Incredibly expensive cars to maintain if you're like me and aren't handy with the tools...

This for some reason, never really thought about a 6 series, but fancy something comfy with OK pace and someone else posted they have just swapped their M3 for one, so a quick look on Autotrader found this.

645ci for trouser money, think I might have to call up....

Price is top end but might be worth it on closer inspection. I paid £850 for my 1975 LWB

I'm still obsessed today. Dangerous...

Over here in the US they've held their money remarkably well from what I can tell. The Gen3 seems more affordable. I love both, but the original GTS is a car I've lusted over since they came out. Like an American TVR in many ways, in my opinion. Not the most accomplished, nor the best built, but they look and sound magnificent and offer little more than the essentials.
I obsess about these a lot too, would have one in a heartbeat. I saw a highly modified one in the US, love at first sight...

This little Clio has been playing on my mind all day.
I was letting my imagination run away with itself in the quieter moments at work today. It originally started with the SOTW when I debated how cool it would be to drive a cheap, well sorted hot hatch around the entirety of the UK, using back roads.

I couldn't see myself in a Suzuki Ignis Sport so this is the next best thing. It is light, small and by accounts, they are a great steer. Upon looking at the classifieds, the ones that have decent, in-depth photos also have honest, well written adverts that list a host of modifications. That indicates to me that the majority of these are owned and maintained by enthusiasts. As I said at the outset, my imagination ran away and I thought it would be awesome to get a £5k loan and buy on for £2k/£2.5k, budget £500.00 to get it A1 before spending the rest on vPower and cheap B&B's as you explore the back roads around England. Use my annual leave and it would be possible to do the majority , if not all the great roads in a month and then sell the car at the end of it to partly recoup the loan.

It would be a great experience to have in the memory bank!
