Getting a bit boring here isn't it?
Isn't anybody planning on buying something exciting soon? Since Trouty bought his GT3 RS there doesn't seem to have been much fun on here.
I know I'm hardly one to talk driving a fricking diesel 5 series but where is all the sexy metal?

They are pretty **** cars to be honest Myles. The chassis can't cope well with 120bhp let alone double that of the GTA. The engine is a great yoke but the rest of the car is a meh, the suspension really lets down the GTA, it really is crap as standard. Eibach Springs and Koni FSD shocks apparently are a good cure.
The problems I've had with my standard 147 is shocking and the GTA seem to suffer with all the same problems but I still am going to get one next year as I just can't think of another car that I can afford that would bring as much enjoyment into my life.

Ding, you've not been on here much in the last 3 months... you missed all the nice metal (and plastic 
)
But, thank **** the inane drivel about TT-RS's and Datsuns has died down.

I'm looking on PistonHeads now. Say I bought an 08/09 Brera with 30k on the clock for £14k or something now. What would happen over the next few years? Would I be reduced to tears by the depreciation?

I don't think there are any cars out on sale today or in the immediate future that are exciting.....maybe the new jag "sports" car, but having seen it other than a thing of beauty it is utterly pointless and confused!

We should count ourselves lucky - petrol was supposed to run out by 1980.

FWIW, I'm looking at a crossroads really - either :
An RS4 Avant
Or
A Volvo V50 D4 R-Design as a daily-snotter and a Ferrari 348TS....
The 2nd option is more appealing as I can use the Volvo for hauling around my keyboards to gigs..... wouldn't be as confident in doing the same thing with the RS4 - especially some of the unsavoury places I've gigged.....
