Just Showing Off ! New

Whats the point in having it if you dont spend it !

This is my new Baby, She is 8 months old and cost me £22500 !

She will do 0 to 60 in 6.6 sec and top out at 150mph.

I could have had a d**n good truck mount for the same money, do you think I made the right decision ?

cheers

Had 1, sold it I'm a bugger for buying 'badged' cars, 4 x BMW's, 2 x mercs, Range Rover, Shogun, Land Rover, Audi TT, Jag, Lexus, Rolls (bought for my wedding business) all bought and sold over the last 4 to 5 years.

I wanted to buy a porche but the kids won't fit in the back unless I cut thier legs off.............................!

PS Best car was the X5, Jag was well over rated, the Rolls was plush and you felt special in it but it was a Corniche!

A lot of £££ for all it is.  I would have bought a used Scubby turbo and a truckmount.

PS. I thought only hairdressers drove these cars.  Now its carpet cleaners too.

My ex-wife wanted me to buy her something that went from 0-200 in a matter of seconds.

I bought her a set of scales. ;D ;D ;D ;D

That was britains most unreliable car until recently!
at least you didn't get the cabriolet, the rear windows are part of the hood and £5000 each!

Thanks for buying the car. I love seeing all these flash cars and I know how it feels to drive a powerfull motor. But these days I keep thinking about the cost.  22K, that's a week in Lanzarotte in a private villa with pool every year for 22 years. With fuel prices as they are my Previa cost £70 to fill up and it lasts less than a week. At least its powerful, quiet and can carry anything I need to move, but I drive on the brakes all the time. Here in Northampton there are speed cameras everwhere, and lots of mobile speed vans and with 6 points I stick to limit everywhere. Sorry all you TT drivers and the Bmws and the Mercs. The car in front is a Toyota.............Driven slowly by an old bloke with too many points.


Enjoy your car
