Modern Cars..... Goodbye!!
« on: 10 July 2011, 19:49 »
Yep, been looking for ages for a new daily an ive now come to this conclusion.....


New cars are boring as hell! whos with me? they suck, weak arse engines, plasticy, uninspiring to drive, uninteresting

I cant find anything ANNNYYYYTTHIIING in my price bracket i'd want to own and run, so ive decided to only drive cars that are pre 90, So my new target....

Old school BMW 6 series  :cool:
Skoda Octavia VRS DSG (soon!)
Skoda Rapid Spaceback

An a Signum for towing me old caravan!

Good plan. Dont lose the money in depreciation on a newer slab, support your local mechanic and drive some classic machinery!

How about an old school E class. I believe its the W126 one. The one that VBH couldn't kill on Fith Gear. Last of the over engineered Mercs.
