Well it didn't take long to realise the Beetle was absolute junk..
Then this came up super cheap so I snapped it up.
Also fitted a tow bar to the GLC and now on the look out for a bargain Eriba caravan..

I still think the Mk4 astra GSI looks good today.
I was all set to buy one before I got my civic as it was a car I had always wanted. Finally drove one and found it a massive dissapointment

it feels much much nicer inside than the civic does, considering its older than the civic as well. Honda plastics never were the best. Im not really sure what im going to do with it, use it while the civic gets all the niggles ironed out, which to be fair apart from a leaky return bit in the fuel pump cradle, has been ok so far.

There's something about Japanese cars from that era, they just feel like you're sat in a kids toy car - I can't work out if its the plastics or the really micky mouse looking switch gear they used?

Yes I certainly agree there.
They have aged well too. Still look good today. Standard car in blue plus some Ebaich springs

Best way, I would not want big monthlies on a vehicle given the current situation we are in. Although the future is looking optimistic, reflected by the financial markets, anything can happen and peoples jobs and incomes are not guaranteed. I have been wanking over the new M3 but dare not pull the trigger on any kind of PCP or HP deal right now.

I picked up a Taycan 4S in November, very few photos of it as it's been filthy since I got it:

I live in the countryside so scratching it up the hedges and banks and driving through big puddles are the norm. Also good to do tip runs in, give it a clean up and its fine again Wanted to get a newer fancy car but i have done 16k in 7 years in mine, its just not worth it, drive the wifes instead Just utterly shit on fuel and they don't supply lube for the tax on it. The macan is better on fuel, tax, it has 2 more cylinders, 1000cc more, a turbo, and 200bhp more Still, V8 in the cayenne
Her boss has the taycan like above, he loves it, battery lost 80 miles during this cold season though Too small for us, got two young kids and a dog
