With you on that one k:

Who needs a Ferrari?

It's a shame you need £300k, a million Twitter followers, an extensive collection of old Fords and be willing to run people around in it for charity every weekend to buy one . http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a28809/heres-every-question-asked-on-the-ford-gt-buyer-application/

I bet you didn't get all this when Mrs Oilburner got her van.

No it's a Peugeot so they practically gave it away

Not cars but these really light my fire

This is pretty much my ultimate car.

Thought I'd resurrect the thread, over two years after the last post!

Thats an interesting choice for obsessing over, there must be a story? (p.s Mondeo is a good solid car)

 

[Neil]

It's me trying to get away from small hot hatches, but not growing up entirely...

A Focus isn't that small though .. A mondeo is quite big really!

Yes a Mondeo is like a barge compared to a Fiesta. I borrow my Dads when I need to move something that won't fit in the Focus with the seats down.. like a King Size bed mattress :lol:

Today? Looking at CarandClassic with no money does me a mischief.



There's also a huge issue recently seeing the A8 4.2 TDI remap figures. It winds up with more torque than a McLaren Senna and yet there's one for sale for less than £5,000 for the car and the remap.

I really do miss having a turbo in my car.

Diesels I fkin hate them.All torque but no revs.

 

[Neil]

:grin: this is Neils favourite place.

If I ever get round to having something fun again I've been thinking about something like this

 

[Neil]

Im toying with selling the diesel Volvo barge and just spending a bit more on petrol. I get a work contribution towards it anyhow.

 

[Cherie]

You said that a few months ago Neil, and talked yourself out of it. Again. :wink:

It's great that those cars exist. As an American, I am obligated to grumble about the lack of power and declare that "There should have been a V8 option!", but I'm glad someone is continuing to wave the flag for affordable RWD sport coupe's. Its a pretty exclusive club.
