Re: Teh Spotted Thread

I've seen two in real life now. I didn't get that close up but they didn't seem enormous to me. My baseline is set at a FFRR though so that's probably why :lol:

It tells viewers it is very capable of breaking down if you use a heavy right foot :lol:

Re: Harry’s Garage

This is the problem with blatant parts sharing. Every time I hear "how did you achieve that power increase", a voice inside my head immediately responds "presumably that's a question for Mercedes". It would be good to know whether or not they modify the engine or whether AMG do e...

Re: Your fleet running reports

It doesn't look too overpriced but you have the inside information that it hasn't run regularly (though you could probably glean that from the unloved looking interior). Plus non-standard add on rear wing is not great. Others seem available for cheaper (e.g. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/...

Quite disconcerting but there are several reports of it on t'internet and the general consensus seems to be that its nothing to worry about. Anyway, its under warranty so I guess it isn't...

What Zinda said. No way is any single-digit plate selling for £80. I bet Xavier Tarquin-Yakitori (Global CEO of X7 group) would pay a small fortune for it! (If he or the that business existed). Odyseusz is your man https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09157348/officers

Re: Tedious but traditional New Car thread

Seems about right - letter number letter letter letter plates start at around £299 to buy. Assuming a trade buyer would want to make c.30 percent profit I would expect it is worth £200.

What not just put it on eBay.

I gave up after 10 of the 15 litres but that's still enough to get me by for about another 12 months. Weirdly I also check...
