All 5 cylinders of it!
Nice - I nearly bought one instead of my Jag - there's a company called angel tuning who do a remap, DPF removal and EGR blank which gets some pretty impressive figures out of it. I just didn't fancy another turbo FWD car after owning an 850 T5!
I have to say I prefer my shape to the new one. MB seem to have softened it a little. I like the blunt nose on the C.
The "bling" interiors always put me off!
I really want to know what that is, 30's Chevrolet or Cadillac? Some one please identify it!
Because it's clean (local hand wash)...
WANT!!! Mk2 GTI's are just very special cars when done right
i think it was british. may have been a humber or something.
honestly not mega clued up on classic cars.

I saw your car the other day in Egham, just in front of the money exchange place.
Small world! IIRC I was just going into subway to get my lunch after a hard morning's essay writing. Are you local to Egham then?

Looks like an Austin Sixteen to me.

I think I saw you eating in your car
. Yeah, I work in Egham, just a bit further down the road past the fire station so I go into town everyday.
More than likely. Or an old Rover or MG.
If you got a look at the hood ornament, you can ID them from that. It's easier with American cars, since not only did they change hood ornaments for models, but also engine sizes and years on particular manufacturers. I think Cadillac had two different designs for the same model and same years, the only difference was one was designed for the V8 and the other was the V16 (and the V8 only lasted a year before being upgraded for 1939/1940). Similarly they had different hood ornaments for the same car, just different years (trumpter / heralder, later replaced by a heron, which was replaced with the Goddess [similar to the Spirit Of Ecstasy on Rollers]).

I'm sorry you had to see that, Subway is one of those things you can't eat in a dignified fashion
If you see me again come and say hi, always good to meet OCUK members!

6+ months still going well. 60 mpg on a long drive. Easily 50 mpg on a shorter journeys. Love it. Haters gonna hate.
