Check this out clicky C55AMG with interesting history. The diametric opposite of a Focus RS - very understated and classy 8) . Chris Harris used to own one and rated it very highly. Hmmmmm

At least G wont have rushed into anything without really thinking it through, and secured the best deal without being hasty.

Car purchases not too bad... :| Since 2005 performace car bug hit.

S1 Elise
S2 135R
S2 Exige
SAAB 93 and Caterham SLR
Leon Cupra and 340R
Tommi Mak Evo
Z4M

But yeah, I've got a serious issue with not keeping cars. Get bored and always on the look to try something new. Honestly wish I was not into cars.
Turn back the clocks, I'd take my 340R and Leon
