You didn't even manage to park in it.

The Abarth looks great

not sure on the badges by the door handles though, look a little out of place there

Because SDK. He's currently got a VW so has this 'everything should be VW thing like me' thing going on I think

Doesn't the golf have the same boot space as an A6, 5 series and mondeo combined? It's surprising anyone buys anything else really

First thing I noticed and was going to make a comment till I scrolled down and saw it had already been covered.

Naff Ford. Nice Naff Ford, but still.

Thanks mate! Long story but someone damaged it when it was a week old. They threw a glass bottle at it

it marked the paint and I used the badges as a short term fix...but I've grown to like them!!

lee1101 · 5 Jun 2016 at 18:41

Agh I remember that now actually, thought there was a reason!

rjk · 5 Jun 2016 at 21:28

Is that a tax disc on the ST?

Pls remove.

Janesy B · 5 Jun 2016 at 21:56

I'll get round to it. Needed to give it a good clean inside and out first. It's in good condition just needed some time spending on it.

G-MAN2004 · 5 Jun 2016 at 22:54

That 458 Speciale looks incredible. Can't help but feel that's F12 or 488 money and a lot of change though!

[ui]ICEMAN · 5 Jun 2016 at 22:59

F12's will tank in price just as every other v12 before it, whereas the speciale will only go up, as it has been for a while now.

Also, having spent a lot of time in both, I'd definitely say the speciale is the better car.

A bit of wind deflector love for Acme....

Took a drive out through Wales. I've not been out to drive just for the sake of driving for so long. Even after three years of ownership, it still makes me grin on a good road.

All ph34r the Volvo of doom!

I didn't follow Acme's guide to bangernomics I'm afraid!

Actually quite a bargain, under £700. FSH, 110k miles, cambelt done, new brakes, discs, pads all round, no rust to be seen, tracking is spot on. Leather seats which show little wear, A/C, Cruise Control, and probably the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in!

I still have my Zed worry not! This is just to replace our ageing Corolla.

kona786 · 6 Jun 2016 at 11:24

Mega bargain indeed. Looks very tidy. Congrats.

Cookeh · 6 Jun 2016 at 11:36

Awesome. I've been looking at something similar to replace my Corolla with next year, as I will need the space.

I've grown up being ferried around in Volvos and I don't think we've ever owned one we haven't taken up to 140k miles or so with no real issues (or nothing that couldn't be fixed in three hours on a Sun afternoon with a spanner and socket set anyway!). Seats are amazing, ride is always sublime. She looks really quite tidy too, especially considering the price.

Freefaller · 6 Jun 2016 at 11:38

I really am impressed with the condition of it. Very lucky to have got such a bargain.

LiE · 6 Jun 2016 at 11:42

Did it come with pipe and slippers?
