Some lovely cars there Gibbo.
That GTR though... As if the owner stood back from that after finishing it and thought “yeah, that looks great!”...

Ive got 100’s of photos I think my car of the day was the Ford GT, the new ones I just think they look incredible:

 

[watercooledman]

Whoooahhhh great cars just beauty's

 

[Yaayuh!]

Ford GT is lovely but an F40 and F50 side by side is on another level!
6R4 goodness too. Nice!

7 hours of cleaning, polishing and waxing later...

Its a ball ache in an apartment going backwards and forwards with watering cans

@Princey looks well worth it though.

Thanks, its been around 10 years since I had a car I cared about so I need to refine my washing technique again.

Scary thought actually thinking I sold my Monaro around 10 years ago!

I do love the attempt at showing a front number plate on the Orange Lambo Doubt (legally) there's much difference between that and not having one at all haha

Remember you posting the Monaro crazy that's 10 years ago!

Is there no car wash local to use the pressure wash?

Or take a look at the battery power washers. Get a large bucket/container and you can feed the washer from that.

Coming up to 3 years ownership and still very happy with the car. Occasionally I consider what I’d replace this with but decide that the cost to get something that feels a lot better than this is not worth it. 0-60 in 5.8s is also plenty on today’s roads.

Wife still wants to buy the latest MX5 in the next 12-18 months after she has opened her hair salon. Makes sense since she is a hairdresser.

Finger over the lens


Is that the 2L 252ps petrol?

Looking at that engine and working out if the upgrade to the S4 is worth it.

Yea the 252ps TFSI Quattro, it’s very capable and plenty quick. The S4 has a V6 so I’d go for that if budget gets you a nice one. My A4 is really well specced being an Audi press car.

Budget would allow but it’s a fair difference in cost - just need to work out if it’s worth it.

I’m addition, the avant is fairly rare in S4 format, pushing the price further - I would much prefer the avant given how practical estates are.

Like you, I can see it being one of those cars that’s enough for everything, making you question if you ever need any more.

Absolutely. When I’m out with my family I drive quite sedately so extra power would make no difference. Occasionally I’ll use the full power but it’s not often enough that I crave for more, legal speeds disappear quick enough.

I assume you’ll be test driving both?

Yeah I will if I can find both for an extended test drive - that’s my biggest issue.

I’d like to do the commute I have to work and back to see whether the extra power would make much of a difference, and to compare a 3 series to the A4 on the journey from a driving dynamics perspective.

In addition, I’d like to take it up to Petersfield from where I am in Chichester to test it on some of the backroads.

However it can be tricky finding a car to borrow for more than 20 mins Hence I’ve not bothered looking yet.

If it matters, the S4 will likely be priced higher but depreciate slower. Especially if you're putting few miles on it. I went from a 250ps Jaguar XE thinking it was my end game for power and comfort but I'm so glad I have the 400hp E43 now. Famous last words but there's no way I'll need more than 400...250 was fun but just left you wanting a tad more.

I'd be interested to know tbh.

The fine is the same for missing/obscured/mis-sized/otherwise illegal though. But I guess they could argue it isn't obscured... Maybe...

I got to spend a few hours driving my dads E89 30i - the 6 cylinder NA version. “Only” 250 HP but man it was rapid.

More than anything though, the sound of the engine was stunning. Much nicer drive than his diesel daily.
