Of course not as that would ruin the mystery. 'In the summer of 2003, the development of the W204 C-Class involved the use of a "digital prototype", which put a 2.1 terabyte digital replica of the car through a 15 million mile road course. This is an industry first which allowed for crash...

Nath, do you have a history of the W204 which you can share? I say that because of bits and pieces I have read over the years. I think it was a first in using CAD simulation for prototype testing before actually making a prototype. Interesting to me it had passive rear steer This has some of it htt...

Lovely cars. I really think they are a modern day W124

Interesting development program too

X300 facelift XJR
D2 A8 facelift with xenons
pre facelift SE spec E46 coupe with amber lenses
late R129
Early R8 V8

Ed has nothing interesting to say.

Do you actually concur with that or are you just pleased the internet has told you a new thing to dislike?

Are they still doing that thing were the body is stripped and full of rust, there is some mild peril and sad music to indicate they might not make it on time and then the screen fades and out rolls a perfect show winning car ?

Fingers crossed Dave

I was going to have a go on this tomorrow, not so sure now !

Were you in Solihull yesterday? Possible spot

Thankyou.

I also understand auto's are vulnerable because they pull away in 2nd gear and theres more torque on the crank.

But in terms of bore scoring ?

Are early (1998) 3.4 any trouble ?

The way I see it, if its made it to 21 years old - its probably ok ?

Am I imagining it or were the later 986s a sweeter drive than the early 987s ?

Lighter and less understeery IIRC ?

I still fancy a seal grey 986 with amber lenses.

987 3.2s sometimes make low 7s sub 100k

Tempting

I saw you were interested in that white 1.6 today

I thought it was a bit steep for what you'd normally go for

That is rediculous
