I'm pleased it's got 'Front and Rear Parking Power'

Out of interest what price did the lease company offer it to you at? I remember you saying to might have been interested in buying it if the price was right.

It was about £27k. They clearly didn't get £27k for it at auction; I've no idea how much BCA charge a seller but it must be a few hundred quid. There is a similar age/mileage Allroad with some options (upgraded nav, bigger wheels) up on AT for £26.5k so I doubt mine will sell for more than £26k from this dealer. So he must have paid no more than £25k. Shame lease companies don't haggle; I'd have bought it at £25k.

Spotted in Hampstead, covered in tree sap and general outside shit.

Other than the general london dirt/crap it looks in good condition though.

Perfectly composed pics of a black and gold agera and a laferrari going brrm brrm past my bus stop:



edit to add a slightly better version from some Instagram guy:

2 door Nova Luxe Saloon in showroom condition yesterday.

Just remembered that I saw a new Corvette Z06 yesterday but with a ZL1 bodykit. I presume it’s a bodykit as surely the ZL1 isn’t on sale yet.

Ultra rare Jazz Type-R

Love the quad exhaust pipes.

The best / worst part about that is that it's actually been quite well done

To be fair to them that's exactly how a lot of exhausts or exhaust looking trims on bumpers are done these days anyway

Light colours really emphasise how awkward the front end looks

Pretty Alfa in Burford this morning.

is that not a Karmann ghia?

I was going to ask if it was hiding behind the volkswagens

Karmann Ghia, the reason why the RCZ should have been a Scirocco. Damn dumb VW

That's the problem with having a memory full of holes. I forgot the Ghia even existed.

eh?

The RCZ is rather Karmann Ghia-ish, much more how the mk3 Scirocco should have looked imo than the dumpy three door hatch we got. It might have taken sales from the TT though.

the RCZ is a front engined Peugeot though?
