Abarth link fixed, the h was missing off of Http. :)

 

I like the rims of the RR and I don't usually like anything that is remotely aftermarket in its appearance (the irony and the hypocrisy of saying that after choosing an abarth 500, i know). I think they go well with the range rover in that colour but wouldn't with most other colour schemes.

 

I didn't like the RR rims when I first started seeing them on the road but now I love them.

[Rassva]

Well... parking camera!

[CarMadMike]

All that CL needs is darker windows and nicer rims and it'd look like a 60-70k car, not a 40k car. That colour silver doesn't do it much justice though.

[The Compensator]

Wow, I'll never find such awesome cars within the budget in my country.

 

Rassva, M5 & CL :btup

 

Personally, I prefer the RRS to the full fat RR, Mike. I loved the L322, though. And I'd suggest you a Boxster S. The base ones lack power apparently.

Cars lose value too fast on europe... lol

The RRS has that whole 'if you were in a Rolls royce ghost at traffic lights and a RR phantom pulled up you'd feel envious' thing about it. The full fat RR is the RR to be in imo. That and other than the SVR RRS, I don't like the rear bumper of the RRS, it just looks... unfinished, like most evoque bumpers other than the top spec ones, but you'll see many more top spec evoques around than you do top spec RRS' and that's why I don't mark the evoque down for it.

 

And i'd have chosen the boxter s if I could in my budget, but If I went for a boxter S i could afford it would have been one before the facelift, and i'd rather sacrifice the power for the more modern car... stupid I know.

Found this CL63. The owner is selling it cuz he got a SLS. Damn you rich people.

[CLR-GTR]

The bigger/more luxurious the car and the bigger the engine, the faster it loses its value. That's why you'll find most people look for such cars second hand rather than new. There's a 221 Mercedes S65 AMG for sale in holland for just 36.000 euros. It costed 305.000 euros when it was brand new. It happens to all such cars.

[Rassva]

Yep, but if it breaks down I don't think you will have money to repair it. Here you can find a M5 E60 at about 25.000eur.

True, but at the same time this is the case on almost every brand new car nowadays, in Britain anyway. Doesn't matter how big or luxurious, unless there's a really amazing finance deal on a brand new car or something along those lines, people are quite silly if they buy a brand new car.

 

That CL you just posted is SO MUCH BETTER, worlds ahead of the other one.

[CLR-GTR]

Meh, that's people's own fault. They forget that purchase prices lower automatically, repair costs if they change at all tend to rise instead. They want to drive top-class cars for euro-shopper budgets, then they rage when one thing breaks down and it's more expensive than their old Skoda or Opel. :D

I'd just rent a supercar when I felt like going for a nice drive and then keep a portion earning interest to keep the cycle in perpetuity.

DO THE DAMN GAME and play along nicely :lol::p

Fiat 500 Abarth Esseesse 13.500eur and S63 AMG 28.000eur... decisions, decisions...

The S63 would be a bit of an odd choice for a track car :p Power ain't everything. As a car you'd drive everyday and once in a while to a circuit to hoon, sure, but as a dedicated track car :susp:

 

[superhyper]

The cars MUST be listed in your mothercountry (I thought this'd make things more interesting)....

 

Welp

-Toyota Avensis

-Toyota Avensis

-Toyota Avensis

-Toyota Avensis

-Toyota Avensis

-Toyota Avensis

 

That's all anyone ever buys around here these days, not sure if any other cars are even available for purchase anymore :lol: On a more serious note, I'll come up with something in the late night hours :nods:

[Camel]

Everyday - Aston Martin DBS Volante £102,995

Other half - Ferrari FF 6V £179

Weekend - Austin Mini Cooper mk1 £15,995

Trackday - Lotus 2-eleven £30,000

 

Total - £149,169

[CarMadMike]

Would Char's insurance still cost the most d'ya think?, or should it?, would probably be a better question :lol:

 

Love the DBS but don't like the light silver colour, on almost any cars tbh, it's a bit dull, even on a gorgeous aston.

[The Compensator]

I thought my selection was going to be worse due to the small and expensive local car market. It ain't bad actually.

 

Trackday/weekend: 997.2 GT3

 

Trackday/weekend: E92 M3 6MT

 

Imaginary GF's DD: A3 1.4 TFSI

 

My DD/grocery getter: E 63 AMG S212 M156

 

Total amount: €177,735.

 

The rest would spent on mods and repairs.

[CarMadMike]

Giving yourself a GT3 and your imaginary GF a 1.4 A3 is :fp: Very male, and you're more than alright in doing so, it's just funny is all :p

 

Good list, if a tad German :p You got the GT3 you wanted. That E class is :drool: Amazing colour/spec.

[The Compensator]

Hey, who says she couldn't drive all the other cars? I'd be more than willing to teach her how to properly drive, heel toe and all that stuff.

 

And honestly, smaller cars are always better for city commuting.

 

It's a bit German, yes. But I also like other makes, a fact some people may not know. :susp:

[Rassva]

I like his thinking. Actually I think that if you get your gf a car you would get friendzoned..

[Milli]

^ Nope, because she would already be your girlfriend. Impossible to be friendzoned if you already got into this stage.

Exactly what i thought. :lol:

[The Compensator]

Oh c'mon... :gmc:

[Milli]

To be honest, you were not the only one here to be a bit sexist on this.
