Dunno, I reckon it could be like that Ferrari 355 offered for sale in
the Damaged Repairables section of Buy And Sell a few years back for
£4000... turned out to be a prank that someone pulled on an elderly
lady!!!
Did ye see how stiff the Veyron was every time it hit a bump in the road... your back would be broken after about ten miles on the roads around here! (A sure sign I'm getting old ) |

Missed it but have it taped - can't wait to see it. Just looking at the power lap times and saw the BMW 535d on it.
Bit embarassing for the M3!!!!! let alone the SL55 AMG and as for the Civic Type R, anyone have that lap for the 535d downloaded. Just checked the specs against the M3 - The 535d is 253cc less in engine capacity has 71hp less and is 165kg heavier Please tell me I missed something, otherwise I'm starting saving now for my next sports car - AN OIL BURNER!!!!! Honda NSX Type R - 1.31.6 BMW M3 - 1.31.8 Nissan 350Z - 1.31.8 Mazda RX8 - 1.31.8 BMW 535d - 1.31.8 Ford Focus RS - 1.32.2 Lotus Esprit V8 - 1.32.5 Audi TT V6 - 1.32.7 MG ZT - 1.33 Noble - 1.33.1 Mercedes SL 55 AMG - 1.33.2 |

Yeah, that 535d is some mover alright... especially when you consider
that they are all autos (don't think they've released a manual yet)!
There was a review of a chipped one in Total BMW mag a few months
ago... they were pretty impressed as far as I can remember. Probably
mixing up all those articles I've read, but I think it had more Torque
than the E39 M5!

I knew it was fast but had no idea it was at that level. Thats very very fast.
That sort of ticks all the boxes and in estate form it could be the ultimate family sports car, performance, ecconomy, room, understated and totally refined yet a lunatic machine if you wanted to push it from A to B. I can just see the boy racers faces, as they watch the BMW diesel disappear up the raod like a scalded cat with Mom, Dad, two kids, dog in back and roof box. |

Saw that but I reckon he's a bit on the cheap side, STG800k sterling is
€1.23million before the VRT, unless he's getting it direct from the
factory.

In case any of you were beginning to panic about what to do on the night of the 27th - Top Gear is on at 8 O'Clock!!!
Should be a good one too... it's supposed to feature Clarkson Vs. Clarkson - how he drives in a computer game Vs. him on a real track!!! Enjoy! |
