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

Oh and if anyone gets a chance to go to the BMW offices in Farnborough it is worth sneaking into the multistory carpark behind, lots of nice old ones in there.

Updated, so tbh it's not really a rule at all.

I prefer the old system. 3, 5 and 7 series were 3 different sizes of BMW saloon, and 2, 4, 6 and 8 series were 3 different sizes of Honda dressed up as a Rover.

£20k car that is comfortable, fun, fast, with a sense-of-occasion, good interior and suitable as daily driver?

Jaguar XF R

There is something about the new jags.

Cheap.

Was just looking at XKRs - XF seems a bit too sensible (plus my FIL has a boring diesel one).

Ah, my definition of daily driver :-)

Servicing costs look reasonable too.

Oh my, here's a rare beast.

The Italian XJ6.

WAD. DROP.

How is the coachwork so much better than British?

Nice driveway slabs

Did you clay bar the bmw

Becker Cascade Pro went on Spanish eBay for £255, which I missed as it finished at 05.00 MST, now there are only ~£600 ones left, bugger it.

Auction. Sniper.

This looks like either an unbelievable bargain or the biggest way to financial ruin you can find:

(fucking forum breaks the link. Search for "espada")

612 looks tempting for 51k Euros. LHD though, of course. I wonder if it'd fit in @Cycliste's garage in Switzerland?

Don't forget you have auction fees (17%) + VAT (potentially another 20%).

Yes. Saw that. Record breaker?

Also saw Magnum PI's is up for sellz.

Why would you say that, man's just bought a car!

No offence but glad you got mugged off for telling a salesman they were wrong!
