I like light colours on big luxury cars to increase the airiness, and black on small sports cars to reduce distractions.

It's suspension problems a go-go this weekend :roll: Today I had the Bentley up in the air to re-fit the engine undertray that I'd not put back on after doing the oil change a few weeks ago. That went OK but when I tried driving it later on I almost immediately got a red " STOP! VEHICLE TOO LOW...

It's definitely a lot of car. It's also a lot of money.

Almost the same spec apart from not LWB, 2 years older, and nearly half the price. That's more my level.

That’s a lot of car for the money! It's definitely a lot of car. It's also a lot of money. However ! For a Range Rover with more LWB, for less money, this is being auctioned next week.

That immediately made me twitch because a single axle trailer was *probably* overloaded with a Boxster on it.

I don't often order them but I do like chicken pakora. I feel guilty as they're too close to chicken nuggets, and then you're on the verge of ordering chips in a curry house, which I'd never do.

Is the 400bhp VAG the new LS ?

"just drop a 400bhp VAG in there"

A Beetle that's 'reet, I quite like that !

Cayenne air suspension compressor seems to have died. Cheapie Chinese replacement is very affordable at just over £100 so I’ll get one ordered.
