^ Good colour! 911s they aren't black, white, grey or red are so much more interesting!![]()
Pleased with the new wheels but rather lacking on the thrill of driving front...![]()
On Friday I took this back;
And drove away a new face lifted model. The changes are only slight, but overall make for a much more enjoyable car.

Nothing. I sold the Merc A200 pictured long ago in this thread. I squeaked out only 4500Km in 3 years. It was a faultless family car but with that annual mileage, it would have been cheaper to just hail a taxi. Which is what I do now
I do like the look of recent Alfas though...

Do these count ???
I also have a Multistrada and a VW Scirocco for the road, the two above are my track babies :) The 996 has over 50,000 miles on it and I've owned it over ten years, love that bike.
The latest addition to the fleet:
Lovely 5L V8, 0-60 in 8 seconds (but best keep it in a straight line when doing so), built like a brick karzie, tows like it hasn’t got anything behind it and armchairs for seats: what’s not to like? (A: fuel consumption).

No, I didn't unfortunately. By all accounts the PSE is pretty good too. I also considered the 'Gundo' side muffler hack plus cross pipes to eliminate centre rear muffler as a much cheaper option. Gundo on its own very similar to sound of PSE I believe. In the end, I managed to land the Tubi at a good price. Normal retail is pretty stiff...
^ Looks like a proper brute. What are the specs?
Some more of the RS4 for those who asked.
It's 4.2 V8 pumpin' out 444bhp, 7 speed DSG, quattro. Paint is special order Nimbus Grey, had to wait 9 months for delivery! It's almost flat grey like a Nazi staff car LOL, suits it I think.
0-60 in hair over 4, subject to dog being tied down of course. Certainly corners better than a bloody Cayenne! And yes it's very practical and useful so it's money well spent. Grin

The car has just turned seven years old, at which Mercedes servicing offer 40% off labour and 20% off parts. Mot for 12 months, service not due for 8,000 miles (about two years worth at my rate - it is a sixth car) and tier 1 Merc warranty. So all in all not bad on the costs front. Add to that insurance at £200 pa. What's not to like?![]()

A very brave project. Really looking forward to seeing the progress on this.
