I bought a poverty spec 1.3l ford ka with the black bumpers and everything from my mam for £1500.

I traded it in for £3000 when I got my sportka in 2006

Really miss that car


My wife had one, chosen for the colour, blue. It wasnt great on fuel for a small car but handled well ...

Im a big fan of the mk3 mr2, I looked at a 180bhp conversion once that turned out to be a ropey project, but they are still on my list. Sadly even the garage queens seem to suffer from rust.

No one bought one (or made one) this year though!

If anyone is considering it, 2026 is the time

Even a 991 GT3 RS would be playing 2nd fiddle

Gutted to have missed out, it doesn’t even have boot space

Does my car would qualify for 2026?

On green cars, superstition aside, it was frozen green which isn’t great to live with imho. However a 2 car garage with a frozen green z4 and an m5 can would be quite cool.

Thanks for all the comments, it looks great in the metal. The roof also has a silver fleck which also looks good in the light ...

I’ll drive the cash up to you, looking for reasons to get up to 1200 miles

Sounds daft, but I’m really superstitious and a green car is said to be bad luck.

I’m bias but it does look even better in the flesh, it’s thunder night with cognac seats.

Long story, I ordered one of the last build slots in September, sold my 550 as I was given a good offer to sell it before the new car arrived. My build slot was then cancelled when I’d already committed to ...

I did seriously look at the M2 and an MX-5 as well. Totally different cars, but I can’t be the only one with a shortlist like that.

In the end, I managed to grab a cancelled order build slot for one of the last rhd Handschalter Z4s coming into the uk.

I was a big fan when they were announced but ...

Don’t think i could bring myself to spend 6 figure sums unless I win the lottery and if I do win the lottery, I’ll be coming to see you before I pop into Porsche.

DeskJockey is on the scent , sorry to prolong this, but I’ve been on the train since 8am and have another hour to go.

Probably easy to guess, 3 litre, turbo, rwd.

Early start for a train journey to pick up a new car, it feels like a long time since end of sept when the 5 series went.

It’s the first time I’ve owned a car with different wheel sizes and the first time owning a car with a manual box and an auto handbrake.

My plumber was sat in his van with the door open and engine running, he had his phone in his hand on loudspeaker and was placing it into a dash holder before putting on his seatbelt and driving off. A police car happened to be passing, he was fined and due to existing points he was banned for months.

"Brummie" bloody southerners

Based on extensive research (playing gran turismo on the ps5) I’m going for a 458 f1.

I have the agree, a 3.0 diesel Range Rover is all the performance any one needs.

maybe Im revealing myself as a luddite but it seem weird to me
