Yeah used to see it in town, EVO's Barker is from Grimsby I think.

 

M9SER or M4SER I think

OT & random, but i think i may have seen an older member Marc (pugboyracer) in a BiTurbo a few years ago?!!

You can pick up the later Quattroporte's quite cheap. Ferrari V8, Interior from 47 cows, insanely comfortable and classy. I'd have one over a £4k bland saloon anytime, yeah so the styling's a little 'different', but they're such a cool Q-car!

I suspect the real "cost" isn't the purchase price though, but rather the running/maintenance costs - I imagine an M5 for example is peanuts to run by comparison.

Mmmmmmmmmm Almost identical seats to my 166.

[MiniGibbo 142]

It was nice but I wouldn't have one lol..

 

They seem to be 147gta money and to ms that's a no brainer.

[205_sunderland 4]

ill just not get one, for me part of the driving experience is the manual change although i would have i bike engined car with paddle box

[Baz 421]

It depends what you want the car for surely?

 

I don't need a Volvo estate that i bimble about in and tow with to have a manual box. I'd still prefer it tbh, but i've used plenty of big wafty Auto's and i don't think they'd be the same as a manual.

 

Anthony's got it in one and why that particular car was relatively cheap i reckon, it was well overdue a service for a reason!

Autos are for whimps!

As it has already been said the servicing and maintenance of a car that cost 15 times more when new will be VERY expensive.

At a guess, the 6k mile service of that Quattroporte will cost at least 1k if not more.

There used to be Ghibli on my way to school and it is a very beautiful car.

330 bhp from a 2.0lt engine back in the early 90's was more than enough (and still is!)

The reg came back as a 2.8 auto Which after skim research shows it's a 2800 twin turbo v6 producing 286hp and over 300 torques..

 

Never would of thaught it was m3 fast.

I'd rather have this

[TaffyTim 6]

Why would you want to be changing gear all the time?

 

Its like saying I'll never buy a kettle I'll just turn the stove off when my pan of water has boiled.

 

Changing gears is such a useless task in a normal car, if you want to go faster then just put your foot down, simples. My auto has a sequential function so I can change the gears myself if I like. I use it about once every 3 months.

 

I don't get this countries problem with them, after all we don't even like opening shop doors these days so why wouldn't you want a computer to change your gear for you?
