Yes that would be the sensible thing to do.

But even with more money, I am still me.

We shall see...

Wrote out a whole paragraph but don't want to take it too off topic haha, will message you elsewhere!

Congrats though

Car wise, if you buy a 450hp BMW you'll stuff it through hedges and trees immediately - think about how many accidents you've had in much lower power cars!!

Does this apply to acme only?

Not everyone who makes a significant bhp jump crashes immediately

Hey I've only crashed while being stupid in low value cars. Attempting to drift etc.

I went from 50HP to 200HP in my 1st > 2nd car change and didn't crash into anything!

Typical of the British population. Already spending money you don't even have

I went from 80bhp to 265

You soon get used to it ofc, I think 3/400+ is definitely the next step.

Just Acme, thought that was obvious from the phrasing and referencing his numerous accidents

The car FINALLY made it to NZ after a 3 month wait because some muppet lost the V5 in the shipping process. Really enjoying it!

Those NZ speed limits though, and the police actually enforce them.

Glad I took this and not the M140. Great day.

That R8 us classless. Horrible colour combination, they look AWFUL in red with black carbon and the V10 is rubbish. Needs to be a 2L FSI or nothing, ideally with the engine up front.

Hideous.

I really like the look of the C63, however the interior kills it for me

I'm actually not too fussed by it. Admittedly, I was very hesitant initially especialy after looking at new C43's, XE's etc. but for me it's a huge step up from my E46. The thing about the interior is the creaks, well known the W204's rattle and sqeak a lot. Thankfully the fact I'm rumming it on 18's does help though.

Very nice. Although I prefer the Wagon.

Its actually on my shortlist.... Thinking this or the Exige 350.

I spent quite a while looking for decent Wagons. One popped up in Belfast recently, good spec and from main dealer and it sold within 24 hours of going on autotrader!

Acme said:
Something like that. Are you stalking my life story?

Yeah you're probably right. But with a change like this its hard not to get excited about car prospects...

Congrats on the new job!!

Definately waaaay too easy to get carried away with but it's worth getting settled in the new job first. Even more so if you're planning on moving to your own place be it renting or getting on the property ladder.

I wouldn't worry about the jump in power as long as you take your time and get used to the new motor.

Dis86 · 24 Mar 2019 at 10:18

I'm just glad the r8 has a number plate to tell us it's a v10

..aaaand too many v10 references by the looks of it

It's going into Sutherland Performance in Wellington for the Gallardo spec map on Friday

Then i'll leave it alone for a bit. Did you keep the P Zero's on yours?

Car looking nice and shiny in the sun yesterday. The B9 A4 makes a handsome estate.
