<3 Car looking ace as ever though, I have to admit. Even with the Jimmy Hill chin.
Also, managed to get a Techno Design book. Pretty awesome behind the scenes coffee table book they gave to everyone who ordered the car at the 2013 Geneva Show.
Bonus picture of one of my favourite parts of the car, the pedal box! Sorry for the grub but, there's just something about it. The brake pedal is superb, very little travel and it's designed to be pressure based not throw based.

Good lord. Sometimes this thread truly delivers greatness.
This sits alongside the underside of Silent Scone’s Evo.
Did a lot of research most are but if the owner chooses not to get the cam belt & water pump at the same timeIm still half asleep but I swear I just heard someone say Meganes are very reliable.
to save a bag of sand £ then yes the top end is expensive to rebuild like any other used car! Most are ultra reliable if looked after properly 24 months with little to no issues is quite common

Is that not really slippery with wet feet? or is the mat missing in this photo?

Wow two years with "little to no" issues is "quite" common? Sounds "ultra reliable" indeed. You got me.

That Alfa 4C is a beaut 
@Howard how long have you owned that for? I remember it from when I had my first car...
Me too. But to be fair it wasn't -that- long ago that we were both on our first cars... 4 or 5 years?
I daily a E60 525d Msport but my plaything is this:

Bought this about a month ago as a temporary hack, 2500 miles later and half a house contents moved in it the initial idea was to move it on and get something else, I can now see me keeping it at least for the coming winter.
Not (yet) missed a beat, very good on fuel given its size, a hoot in a straight line, handles like an ocean liner in the bends. Feels more like sitting on a sofa than in a car. I'm now pondering getting the wheels recoated as that's pretty much the only blemish on it.
Feels like it'll last another 15 years never mind the winter! So far, really really impressed.
