That Maserati looks
13K?! Mint condition inside and out, got to be worth a punt if the SH looks ok?

Email just received:
“Hi sons, I have just put a deposit on the Maserati subject to test drive.”
He’s viewed and it’s mint. Reserved while it’s being prepped at which point he’ll have a proper test drive.

Funnily enough, it had a booster seat on the passenger side!

I won't call it a want as such, but the Merc R Class is something I'd never noticed before. Seems to be halfway between an estate & a full size 4x4. Are they any good ? A cheap practical barge to replace the Vito ?

Speaking of unnoticed Mercedes, the X class was a new one to me, only made for three years 2017-20 and was the most expensive pickup on the market. Very popular with middle eastern owners who liked to mod them.

Universally mocked over here for being a rebadged overpriced Navara.

My dad had one as a hire car. Large, six comfortable seats and e-class experience. That's about it.

Need ? Or "need" ?
We have a small dog so an estate is definitely justified. Something like a Cayenne for example.
I'm just spitballing really. I sold the Clubman and the Vito will hopefully go soon. I get itchy fingers when there's space on the drive and money in the bank.

I volunteer to help with the money, want my bank details to send it over?

I found this 981 Boxster a couple of weeks ago when looking for GTSs, inspired by
@DaveE’s purchase:
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... 1273682596
Lovely high spec and white really seems to suit it. I have a bit of an irrational want for it. Usually that sort of want goes away fairly quickly but I still want it a couple of weeks on. I’d been contemplating a new/nearly new MX5 with the 184bhp engine and I know I’d thoroughly enjoy that, but the want isn’t strong in the same way. Anyone near Hornchurch to go and have a look for me…?

Double white. Really not for me but this IS Jobbo here, and it would cancel out the double-black of the Macan I guess.

It is definitely a product of Essex, but since it’s not an XR3i cabrio, I think it works. Boxsters look a bit boring in a dark colour.
