Thankfully the contract with Ford Bridgend had ended and now coming to a close BUT they have moved production to Wolverhampton to continue making the engine for a bit longer.

Picked up a new tow car a few weeks ago, just had it detailed and ceramic coated to match the M3.

4.4 SDV8. Huge step up in quality from my E53 X5 and has no issues towing 2250kg around.

Edit: No point posting up other photos if all they do is attract the local ******* from belittling someone else’s new car.

Yeah yeah sod that, pics of the #racecar needed!

Christ, the orange skin on that! I thought my old 6 series was bad!

You can't really tell how bad it is or isn't from that one picture in fairness.

Doesn't look like anything unusual by new car standards at least.

He did the race car last week (if you were paying attention)

Just found a post in the BMW thread. Awesome thing. If it were mine I'd definitely make it road legal for the occasional drive though! Doesn't look like it would need a whole lot.

If only you'd noticed his post had been edited. He deleted the close up shots when he threw his toys out of the pram.

Finally got around to getting the white MK2 Road worthy enough to take home, remove the decals and wash it! Done a bit of driving around with my 4 year old and she loves it!

Christ, the banana peel on that, I thought my old Model Y van was bad!

(It looks awesome though in seriousness!)

Its like orange peel but more slippery.

I was just mocking the dis86 vs tsinc exchange a few posts ago.

I dunno but I suspect if you're not careful you'll end up in prison.

Had the C63 two months now and still can’t believe it’s mine.

Nice, I do like those, very understated but with a monster of an engine.

Yeah let’s focus on all the panels having really bad orange peel :mad:

Mullered about a million bugs last week. 26c outside temp is horrific on the inside

I think I built that car when I was 12 in NFS Most Wanted. Thankfully my tastes have developed since.

Awesome build! I did look through your posts in the BMW thread and stalked you on Instagram too.

Sounds fantastic as well. Weapon.

I'm not touching this.

I like Volvos as well as BMWs though, cheap way to go fast in comfort. Don't rot out quite like BMWs do either.

I’d say I’ll have to run and hide from all the Volvo drivers but it’ll be 2024 by the time they got here
