Looks superb in black

They certainly do when they're clean!!

Never again will I get a black car, as I'm not one for wasting my life washing the flaming thing.

I said all of this after the last black car I had!

No wonder you guys can afford new Mercs with a house that's barely bigger than the car I could fit two of that one in my little house UK.

It's the camera angle! 3 good size bedrooms, big living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, 2 kitchen sinks and 3 bathrooms and a big back garden. It's just the front elevation you can see there are windows above the slates. But WTF would it matter some people buy things in life for different reasons I once lived in a one bedroom flat with a brand new RS2000 parked in a busy street the car was worth the same as the house at the time.

I went for a demo drive in the Renntech 465bhp A45 today at Collins Performance, my dear lord that lady can drive. She scared the sh*t out of me

Littleted

was it nice on power. I suppose Shaun compared to the box how much better was it, is it worth that 5k asking ?

Haha excellent, funniest thing I've seen on here for ages that. It's true what Paul' says

Littleted

Lol at the house comment, for me to afford the 45 I live like ***** wonka now...

Or I could be like my brother million quid house and 2 cars that are worth about 4p, some people have differing priorities, mine are like that, just wish parents would hurry up so I can get my inheritance lol.....

Shaun

And MB have now released formal details on the Facelift A45 due in September. 375bhp and quicker performance times than the RS3. It also houses a new front locking mechanical locking diff and Gearbox upgrades.

Their proper V2 is going to be something worth looking at.

Im the same to the annoyance of my missus, Id rather spend all my money on a car, but she the one who seems to be the one standing in the way of me blowing the lot on a GTR.

I must admit, sometimes I do wonder, usually when working my **** off on one of my houses and things aren't going according to plan, if I rather just have one small house with a 911 in the garage but then again, as I type this I'm sat in my farm house on a hill with the sun just rising over the top of the mountain, birds singing, cockerels crowing in the distance and I think nahhhhhhh, this is much nicer.

But each to their own, I love the countryside and don't really care what car I drive anymore, as long as it has a little get up and go, I'm happy.

ditchmyster, I think you have it right. A fast car in a rat race isn't as satisfying as the life you have I bet

Matteeboy

We all justify our own decisions; none are "better" than others and those considered to be doing well are there largely due to luck.

Self congratulation is the scourge of our society.

Littleted

Man its Fast.

Im not one for driving like a nutter and to be honest 95% of my time i potter and drive safely.

However i was taking my lad back to the army college last night and roads were clear, so i drove spiritedly, kept the 45 in the zone and good god it made me smile, it amazes me sometimes how quick it is when driven properly....today its in for its first service then i,ll put the RENNtech box back on, which will make it even better....

Saw the AMG GTS when i was there, WANT ONE !!! but a tad too much for me LOL.

Im also partial to the CLS very old man but i do like it.... and as i was leaving a brand new GL63 AMG pulled up, so thats 3 cars i now want LOL

I definitely prefer this lifestyle and my daily is no slouch, even by modern standards.

john banks

Looks lovely. When can I come to stay?

Very nice ditchmyster, Thinking about it, Id prefer waking up to that view everyday then waking up to our cold English weather even if there was a GTR on my drive!!

Matteeboy

Quite like our view; the Atlantic Ocean.

ditchmyster

iTrader: (7)

Yeah I hear ya, I could have 2 GTR's and change with what I've put into this place, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be as happy and chilled as I am, it's just a case of what one values in life and modern cars don't do it for me.

Nice view Mattee, I can see the sea and it's about 15mins away when I fancy a dip, nice and warm too.

Matteeboy

Yours looks pleasant too Ditchy; very tranquil.

Facelifts due end of year Creep 375 + BHP

Shaun

UC,
I'd suggest that's an isolated situation or a specific dealer thing. I certainly wasn't told or asked not to give it beans..... in fact it was the opposite.

On the flip side, when I had a test drive in a M3 last year, the BMW dealership literally gave me the keys to take the car out with the mrs...... like for over an hour without a dealer in the car with us! I wasn't a past customer or anything.... I was quite taken back.
