Default Car suggestions for Ding
As I was feeling charitable early this Bank Holiday Monday - I thought I would start a thread with car suggestions for Ding.

Let's start with this one. Unique, fast, BMW, Evo/Impreza eater. Perfect!

BMW Special

You wouldn't want it any other way.

BTW, stop the thread, Trouts found the perfect car. You'd certainly have all the neighbors popping round to see that little beauty.

lol!!

I have not had the car dyno'd yet but would imagine the power output to be around the region of 350 bhp
Obviously letting his imagination run wild there! And yes it really does look like the price is £6995 not £695!

I think the clincher is that gorgeous motorsport steering wheel.

On the plus side, it doesn't suffer from the appalling 'active steering' as specced by a certain person..

That car makes me ashamed to be a Tata steel apprentice

Apparently though as a Tata employee I'm entitled to 20% off anyy Jag or Land Rover

Would you be able to handle it?

Look, why don't you just go and buy a 'proper' car - be it a RWD n/a Porker or an AWD Audi whatsit?

Just stop all the poncey posturing

Get an Ariel Atom, scare yourself sh1tless, then learn to love the BM.

Funnily enough someone else on PH is disappointed with their F10 535d - loves the engine but not impressed with the chassis, suspension or RFT tyres. Thinks it's gone all soft.

Thought he was considering an AMG?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1997-MERCEDES-...item25631411ac

Also, I was about to pst this wee beast, looks like he's just missed out though. Retro passionwagon cool...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1983-Morris-It...item2a0fec4183

There is this too but I think someone has sneaked a digit in the price somewhere!
