Harry says something in the likes/dislikes about the last GTS with an naturally aspirated engine being the 997 and it sharing the GT3 engine. Not sure what he’s on about because the 997 GTS didn’t have the GT3 engine but the 991 GTS had the n/a engine until the 991.2 got a turbo.

Disappointed he didn’t mention the alfasud. Probably one of the first times one has been put into that sort of auction. Not that I expect him to like them, but more for the quirky ness. Apparently made £10k.
Cheers, Harry

They're not kidding about better than new!

For my preference I'd keep it in black though.

The definition of the swage lines looks fantastic, now they've corrected it 8-)

Owners of "BOSS" plates rejoice, your new car is here. That front end is gopping.

Good to see BMWs shit naming convention applies :roll:

I like the iX. In a colour rather than black, but it makes the mass of the X5 look quite funky.

I feel like it might look better with the number plate mounting another few inches higher.

I’m getting really bored of ultra lux electric cars tbh.

Probably need a step forward in battery tech as if you need a 5m wheelbase to get a decent range then there’s an expectation of the kind of car you’re going to get.

It just seems like a case of diminishing returns if you’re trying to build efficiently and you end up with a 5m long, 2.5 tonne car.

I'm annoyed that they're not really trying to be efficient, if they were it wouldn't need 100kwh battery to make 300 miles. My 64kwh car is capable of 300miles.

They know they can sell a big heavy luxo barge, so they make one. And some internet muppet will still complain it won't do 600 miles and refill in twelve seconds.

So what is under the non opening bonnet? It's got a huge space there that presumably is full of something?

I thought it looked shit in black, but that grey one looked pretty good.

For it’s many faults, why arent electric cars going for the sleek aerodynamic and efficient look?

They seem to be producing cars in the direction I thought the petrol ones would go ?
