Today’s want
Re: Today’s want
Marv would approve. The black one has standard 19s all round, the blue one has staggered GT-S 19/20s.
They look great in bright colours
Re: Today’s want
They are. And the lack of red brake calipers on the black one is a good thing too.
Apparently the non-S has a rather special passive damper set up which is better for the road, so I’d be keen to go for that rather than the 1/2s a lap improvement of the S.

That is really quite lovely. They're one of my favourites and youre right on the less fussy additionsJobbo wrote: Sun Sep 13, 2020 8:26 am Just saw this on a PH article and I have a very strong want for it: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/10701712
I’ve always quite liked the shape of the AMG GT but never seen a subtle one before. This is the non-S, and on those simple silver alloys without body addenda I love it. It’s also a bit of a bargain at £60k with only 6k miles. One to keep an eye on; I have a hankering for an original shape R8 but they’re getting on a bit now and this would certainly fulfil the same want.
Re: Today’s want
Would it bother people that the same engine (great as it is) is in loads of other fast-Mercs? (like the old 6.2 n/a) i.e making the GT less special?

Re: Today’s want
Wouldn’t bother me.

Re: Today’s want
Thoughts are again turning to the second car option. Still fancy a DB9 but for a lot less money, something like this now appeals:

Anybody know anything about the C216?

He decided he’s too much of an old fart and went to look at Alpines 

How about not having a sig at all?

Re: Today’s want
Not mad, really - VW fanboys are happy to pay lots of money for old Golfs, even Lupo GTIs. The Corrado has been undervalued for years.
Mental money would be what people ask for the Campaign edition Corrados but they don’t actually sell...
