@Mito Man A well told story. Would read again.

It reminded me a little of Inception though, so you'd need a kinda totem to verify the true true true reality.....

"reaching down the back of your trousers, your finger explores and verifies the number of bumholes available to prod......"

@Mito Man you forgot the bit where the electric c63 goes past sounding like 2 bears hate fucking the shit out of eachother whilst gargling a full beehive in the process of getting attacked by murder hornets. But it’s coming from a speaker

@Mito Man looking at Metas stock I'm not sure they'll make 2024 let alone 2040.

But also makes me think I need to get on and find something I want to keep forever...

Only things that interest me at the moment are the Alpine A110 and the Lexus LC500. It's unlikely to happen any time soon though with the Alpine, and hte Lexus is probably too much of a stretch.

The Alpine sounds like it has it's issues as well from some recent reading - I'm not overly keen to return to Renault-level reliability!

I'll probably still have the A2 (and the Passat in the garage that won't have moved in the meantime)

I’m hoping my garage doesn’t move before 2040 too

Combustion engined cars won't be going out of production any time soon, a future government will have to row back on all the electric only pledges....Germany already have, everyone else will follow. The idea that this country could support the sale of only electric cars in 7 years time is laughable.

So don't worry about picking your last, you've got plenty of time.

I've not been there for a while, I should probably check the roof.

The next family car will almost certainly be full electric. I'll always have the 928, so lots of V8 goodness will continue to be spread wherever I go. No doubt much to the annoyance of some people.

May well be in my garage right now...

Lol!. Few pennies short currently.

I’m probably already driving it if we’re talking realistic motors. And now that BMW have ballsed up the G20 interior of the LCI’d refreshed version, I do suspect that my M340i xDrive will hang around for a while. I’ve looked at the i4 but it’s ‘cold’ in comparison and not sure can quite stretch to an 8, which looks set to keep the older fash interior for a while.
