"F1 Paddle sh1t" a great selling point if you consider that the guy who'll buy is prolly an ass**le |

No, but I WILL own a Ferrari one day. Don't care how long it takes. Even if I have to wait until I have something terminal and can flog a kidney or two or something. Mick |

The seller made a typo in the advert and instead of saying paddle
shift, they forgot the 'f' which could indicate many drivers feelings
for this transmission type! it takes a while for the penny to drop! ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

excellent! Nice to compare motors. People give the Boxster too hard a time in my opinion - the looks might not be to everyones taste, but as a car to drive they are well up there. And this muck about people who own them not being able to afford a 911 - sure that stands for any car! My problem with Boxsters (mk1) was twas a tight squeeze for 6ft 3", and feeling cramped doesn't encourage a bit of hussling. Ditto the 944 cos the wheel is down in your lap. ------------- Mazda 6 MPS S1 Elise 135 Sport Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon http://www.bmwcarclubireland.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-3254">

Have to agree the boxster is a fine car, has good looks, fast and according to top gear sticks to the road like glue. Doesn't get the credit it deserves. There’s a cool idea swapping cars for the weekend there’s a very nice 04 911 here at work (i wonder) ------------- e30 325is (deceased) e36 318is under major construction E39 530D Sport mtec (all the bells and whistles ) Basic unit of laryngitis: 1 hoarsepower lesurely |

Yep, its nice, but I wont be buying one, I need the small back seats, have one child and prefer the looks of 911. So next year I'll probably get either another M3, maybe an 05 one, or a 04 CSL from uk or a 911. I'll think about it over the next 9 months and a few beers. ------------- 997 C2 now. |

No not at all, Ive had lots of diff high powered cars and this is the best Ive had so far........absolutely love it, really do. Its a 03 car and Im just mindful of letting it get to old, so mid to end next year it will be 3 yrs old, so Id either upgrade to a newer one or move on to a 911. Yeah your right though, I shouldnt even bother talking about it now, I am so happy with the M3, its an amazing car, probably will go for another one, when the time comes.... the 911 can wait . ------------- 997 C2 now. |
