I'm wondering which car company gave you a 91' Escort as a courtesy car, I'm guessing it was Porsche?

PS I'm getting a courtesy car on Monday for a day, really hope it's a Cayman S!

Are Rolls the company that use a 6.75l engine and quote literally no figures for it at all?

I got the escort off my mate in Deptford, he aint got no new paint tricks hes about 107 years old but i defy anyone to paint a car like that man, hes doing for me at 1200 quid what he would normally charge 2k for, mans a ****ing legend.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Again not knocking the built etc but just the shape of it looks a bit odd.

Its ugly as sin, but there's no knocking the presence, its the absolute ultimate in **** you motoring isnt it

They use a power reserve dial I believe rather than anything as commonplace as a rev counter. I've got a vague recollection that phrase used when asked what power the car produces was stated as "Enough." or is that apocryphal?

Anyway nice car DM, enjoy the feeling of the **** you motoring and the wind in your hair or something like that.

Yea the rev counter is back to front or reserve.

Years ago Bentley and RR used to say the BHP was ""sufficient" im not sure what the term is now

Gotta be a buzz though aint it.

You've sold the Panamera already?

Great car you couldnt get a 4 door fast better car it just wasnt for me.

I can appreciate the build and quality but why so god damn ugly, I can't see anything remotely pleasing to the eyes in any of it. That interior is so badly designed it's giving me a headache. Genuine question what is it that you like about it?

I honestly dont know, iv had a right few drinks today and put the deposit on a bit of a whim.

I dont like the 4 door ones, but these i dont know, me mates got a hard top 2 door one and there's no getting away from it, nothing on the road has that presence, also despite being a fair chunk of money its not going to cost me anything i will get my money back so **** it, at least i can say i gave them a go.

I know what i want though, i want a new Mulsanne but im not giving a premium over list for a new one so i can blow my brains out, as soon as a few used ones come on the market that will be me i think.

DM · 4 Jun 2011 at 21:38

I just cant think of anything other than a Hummer with the same **** you ness about it

DM · 4 Jun 2011 at 21:59

beermonster said:
Me too I would wouldn't want to be seen in anything so ugly

Now that new Mulsanne is something different altogether much more classy looking and a far nicer place to be, but with still enough brashness to **** the mere mortals off.

But they want a 10k premium on a low miles 1 owner Mulsanne now, so 215k, so say you go for it, keep it a year thats 40k in cold blood, 40k, thats basically any car my daughter wants , you get the drift, or 2 **** off holidays, whatever i just cant bring meself to do it.

What do they need to drop to for you to buy one chap?
