Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Do it online, they’ll refund you any amount you’ve overpaid/reimburse you for the remaining time you’ve paid for IIRC.

Using this?

Yeah.

Checking my statement I might be chatting shit about the refund tho.

I'm looking at exactly same thing. Well, currently weighing up options. I need a practical but fun second car around the $15k budget (in Aussie dollars) and the 130i with n52 engine is top of list.

A mk VI hold GTi is possibly a safer bet but I am drawn to rwd, manual, straight 6...

Left field is a mk V golf R32 for the noise...

will have to transfer the V5 to the first chap, I presume at the same time I stop paying tax on that car

The car becomes untaxed immediately but they only refund whole months, so you'll effectively continue paying until the end of December.

All the reviews I read said it’s ‘better’ than the R32 and a bit cheaper. The price seems to have stopped falling and maybe increasing slightly. Not that’s a reason to buy one.
Hopefully I’ll be happy on Monday on the drive back to Manchester from Sheffield.

New Car Day! Well, if everything checks out. To Wakefield!

GL dude. Should always be an excellent day

Exciting!
I hope it’s a peach!

You do know Wakefield is tier 3?

The dealer said it was ok to collect the car, outside, but he apologised for not being able to pick me up from the station due to the situation.

Somewhat of a sad day also as the C55 has been an excellent car.

Big up St Evenage! Best of luck today.

Back onto the subject of El Caminos/Utes I have been waiting for this to reappear in my neighbourhood so I can capture it.

Lovely little thing but I know nothing about it.

Great stuff. Love the artwork. Looks like a Ford Sierra pick up. Pretty rare spot

Ha, maybe I should drive down and wave you off in your new whip.

@Dammit don't forget NOT to write a blog about the records you break on the way back.

Hah, yes- I’ll make sure to append any such with “contents moderately fictional”

Yep, Sierra P100. Had a live rear axle, I believe.

£2.50 more expensive than a standard ticket, and the coffee the chap just bought me cancelled that out.

What are you picking up @Dammit?

A 2015 E63 estate, rear wheel drive, 5.5 litre twin turbo V8.

And the landscape that I can see from the train window is now covered in snow.

Ah intense jealousy. Was just doing some fantasy window shopping for one of those on autotrader.

Dream dad car.. until bmw release the m3 touring
