I have been browsing Pistonheads again, only a R26 though

Check this out
clicky C55AMG with interesting history. The diametric opposite of a Focus RS - very understated and classy

. Chris Harris used to own one and rated it very highly. Hmmmmm

Was on my mountain bike tonight and an RS4 swept passed - I cocked my hand to my ear as if to say " let her sing......" - he dutifully unleashed V8 hell at the NSL sign and daaaang it sounded good - twas I sign I tell thee !

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
