I'll take the black Ferrari, probably knackered beyond repair, he can keep the rest, seems like a good deal to me

Might also consider the green Porker if I've got room on my trailer

dibs this one

or this one for me please

Time really must be a healer, because I want another Citroen:

Don't do it man! I'd love one, but I'm yet to drive or see one that doesn't need an annoyingly long list of small jobs doing.

I very nearly bought a "mint" example of a CX GTi Turbo once. Quite glad I didn't. Bought a cheap 505 instead.

Ferrari, pls stop

@dicki 160bhp and they weigh fuck all, so they must go alright. EB110s are magnificent.

@TRA My last Citroen:

It was brilliant when it worked. Which wasn't as common as i would have liked.

The Ferrari FXXK: Because calling a car the Ferarri LaFerrari wasn't embarrassingly awful enough.

@Woodster Nice, looks reasonably straight. Was it rust underneath or leaky hydraulics that was the issue? There's a guy near regents canal that has a lovely olive green/brown CX. I see him driving it all the time. I think you really need a lot of time and money to keep one in good daily driving condition.

I have a secret plan for when I'm wealthy and slightly more nuts to get a nice DS/SM/CX and put in an all electric drivetrain. Would suit it well.

Personally think the Ferrari 458 is bland as fuck, common in cars but a crime for an Italian supercar, but I absolutely despise the repetition of badges on the front, the silver prancing hoss in the middle of the lower bumper is superfluous and ugly, what were they thinking? I know they've done it before but it worked on the 550/575.

360 the last genuinely beautiful car they've done, can I get a hell yeah?

Scrub that, it's the Enzo, wild without being wacky

Mainly electrical and homebrew LPG kit issues, the hydraulics were pretty well behaved. It did develop a rather large hole in the passenger side floor though and was pretty rough around the edges. The worst thing was sourcing parts, which would either cost the earth or take forever to find.

Glad I tried it though. I'd love an SM before prices go mad, but to replace that motor with electricity would be sacrilege.

Fuck no, horrible flared nostrils. 355 was the last really good looking Ferrari.

Looks like a 348 with a bodykit! ;)

In the right colour the 612 Scaglietti is a pretty car.

That old maserati clanger? Nah, ditch it. ;) Jokes - to clarify, when I say source "a good one" I mean body work and chassis. Mechanicals I can deal with, paint and panels is more time consuming and expensive.

Parts are a pain though. When I had my 505 I spent many an hour chasing parts on an aussie frog forum...

Issues might be finding parts the SM has a few unique parts.

Citroen hydraulics are brilliant if you know what you are doing. Had a 1.9 td for a bit after a fleet of 1.9d as they were cheap to find with knackered hydraulics.

Always fancied the gti 4x4 with either the 16v engine or the later 2.0 turbo xud engine used in the rovers.

There isn't a single car that has ever been made that Lynx hasn't owned.

...is the correct answer.

I adore 355's. Becoming more affordable now too.

Actual lol.

355s bottomed out a while ago.

Buy one and sit on it for a while.

Well, not you obviously.
