    Ha, I just wanted to fire up V to take some pics, but it crashed on start up. Škoda Auto is a Czech company. Rules are rules.

    Exactly, yeah. And the R8 isn't exactly a track car, is it? Btw, all R8's are V10 now.

    Totally not worth the extra money. There's a circa €20 grand difference in base price between them, 10 grand if you load the base version up with ceramics and other stuff. The AMG S versions are probably worth it since they get extra things like active diffs and engine mounts, "drift mode", bigger brakes, etc., but iirc the R8 plus just has a bit more power, ceramics and that wing as standard.

    Wish you a Happy Birthday, mate! Lots of love, money, cars, photos, etc. etc. Enjoy the precious last year of being a teenager. It's all downhill from there. :chuckle2: :mbdance::hsquad:

    It's a sexy boat. 100% agreed. I hate the new trend of TV-sized screens. Give me back analog gauges and retractable nav displays... I guess LCDs are cheaper to make than some proper instrument cluster with a nice display in between the two dials. I haven't read about the car yet, but I think the E 50 will be what the C 43 is now, basically. A half-AMG if you will. They'd be crazy not to make a 63 version.

    Holy batman, dat wheel gap in the first photo. :fp: I have to say it looks better than the C, but still worse than the S. That thing is a beauty. Hope that the 63er will be given wider fenders as the AMG C looks so much better than the stock models. And I am disappointed there are no new inline sixes in the car... What's taking them so long?

    Haha, that's crazy. I'm at 2,425 hp with NOS. I wonder if that's wheel or crank.

    It's easy to love/dismiss a car without having any real-life personal interaction with it. One reason I don't really care much about car reviews anymore. It's all more or less subjective. Out of all new 2016 cars I've driven only the BMW M2. I am sure I would not be disappointed driving the R, and the fact that it looks kind of anonymous is imho part of its charm. Close second would be the manual V12 Vantage S.

    Need pics of said woman in order to evaluate the situation.

    On another note: I have totally forgotten that there was a recall in 2014 on all six-cylinder petrol BMWs due to Vanos bolts that can snap into half and damage the engine. I still have not done anything about it. :ohno:

    There was a joke?

    You'll learn to love it. One car has a panoramic moonroof and the other just a small moonroof. With the panoramic, I use the tilt function with the sunshade 90% closed, I find it useful when it's hot outside, and in the hot late afternoons/ evenings I fully open the moonroof and it's just purrfect... up to 100 kph. Beyond that it makes too much noise so it stays closed, but that depends on the car and the design of the system. The smaller one in the other car, there's virtually no difference between open and closed sunshade. Yeah, it adds weight in the worst place possible, but on most cars it's worth the extra natural light in the cabin. Interesting. VW AG use a billion types of DSGs, but I think both the old Golf and your new A3 have 7-speed "dry-clutch" transmission which in start-stop traffic, compared to "wet" 6-speeds, can be quite jerky according to the Internet. Might be worth checking the software version on yours. --- Post Updated --- I did not say that.

    Beige leather doesn't get too hot in the summer, it just makes your back and things kinda sweaty, but I don't really like how right now during winter the seats are coooold in the two three minutes while the seat heaters are just starting to heat up the seats. Remote pre-heater would be nice, though having an enclosed garage helps, too. Window tint is a must, in my opinion. Could not live without them dark tint. 1) better looks, 2) lower temps, 3) privacy. I am not sure what % we have on our cars. I think 3M does make a clear version that still blocks UV and heat.
