Red Bull apparently “acquired” all of the industrial units on their estate prior to submitting a planning application for their wind tunnel. There are some (a lot) of residents who have objected to their plans. Still, they have a lot of money and I’m sure their little problem will “go away” in due course

Thanks for the input, you glorious people!
Personally, I’d nearly always go for a Golf (having owned a few whilst living in the Middle East), but she seems to want something a little higher off the ground.
Fuck knows why - the XC60 is a faux-by-four and hasn’t seen any mud-plugging other than a rather challenging rugby pitch last February…

Hello hive mind - been a while…
Missus needs a new motor. Like a lot of other people, we need ULEZ compliance as well as ample space for transporting all manner of shit around.
Outgoing vehicle is a 2014 XC60 fuelled by the essence of Satan - like everyone else, we’re looking to future-proof ourselves but sadly don’t necessarily have the resources to get on Elon’s train (which isn’t necessarily the fix, more a sticking plaster. Largely because everyone knows that the hydrogen fuel cell is the actual answer), we are wanting to head in the hybrid petrol direction.
Neither of us want to finance a depreciating asset, but seem to have amassed fifteen large to spend on a new whip.
Tell me of your pearls of wisdom, your golden nuggets!

Besides, you're approaching the van buying time of year. People may well want to buy it for staycationing purposes. Plenty of affluent couples around who want to ride bikes and don't want the faff of the Four Seasons Hotels group.
What are you going to do with the 911? I'm presuming storage of some description?

I have found that WBAC lure you in with a price, then you take it to them, they point out everything that they either don't like or make it a hard sell before low-balling you.
I sold the M3 on eBay for the grand total of £29, had a group of chaps turn up and try and outbid each other before the winner appeared three hours later with a flatbed and took her away.
Yes it's a day of your life, but for the sake of £29 and two dozen cups of tea, I'd do it that way again...

Well, that went well. After 21 years of ownership within her 35 years Eva the Evo covered a grand total of around 2500 miles per year.
She went to a good home and will dwell among her spiritual family. The new owner is an obsessive M-Head with an E28 M5, an E39 M5 and an E36 M3.
Not a remotely sad day and genuinely happy to have moved her on to a friendly environment...

Clive and I communicate on WhatsApp from time to time - usually taking the piss out of Spurs and their deluded fans. He’s well, as is Mrs Clive and the girls
