£13500, which isn't bargain of the century, but a car with the spec and work has had done isn't bad. Biggest selling point to me was all the big jobs done, plus more, also no rust!

I also really like the way the car looks, it's pretty much as I want one to look, apart from I want a CSL boot

Not bad but values have certainly improved and can’t see them coming back down.

Finally got my XC40 inscription pro which I ordered back in June 21, fantastic car, comfortable and luxury compared to my old clio

My C43 and my uncles 812. I have so much respect for car journalists who can write so eloquently about cars. All I can think of is fast, mental, loud etc. I can't describe how it feels to drive and just generally be around a car like the 812 as it blows my mind just looking at it in the metal.
I'm also amazed that you get 7 years free servicing and a 4 year warranty.
Regarding my C43, it's an enjoyable ownership experience so far but the build quality is sub-par compared to my F15 X5 (no real surprise but it is grating on me slightly).

Not that you judge? If memory serves the pic you one posted of your street looks way worse, so ironic.

If you stop paying kids to look after your slow Merc, perhaps you can save up for a house with a garage, or at least a driveway? Both my houses have them, I highly recommend.

Glad you edited your post to add that both your houses have them, would have been a totally useless post otherwise

To think someone would boast about having driveways.

Think I’ve seen it all on these boards now.

They look great in yellow too. Can’t decide if I like that or TDF blue more.

These are the only Ferraris that look a bit wrong in red. Something about the lines.

You've completed life mate, well done! You must be so, so proud. I mean, TWO driveways.

Wash followed by a quick spray ceramic on Saturday then took this in Sainsbury's carpark yesterday after one hell of a downpour, found the best spot in the whole carpark! (no it isn't a disabled bay!)

Nice, I do love a GTI. Although I personally can’t stand the tartan seats.

Yup! I like the spaces in that section, far away from the entrance and there's a couple of spaces where you can park over on the hatches or have one side protected by a support pillar.

Haha, they are quite divisive, I like them and they've grown on me more and more, they are a piece of GTI heritage.

Yeah agreed, about as far from the danger zone as you can get. What car do you have, will keep an eye out.
