What he said...

Exactly!

Ugh better not be some boyracer mobile given the thread title!

 

[Rob1sp]

It's about as far from boyracer mobile as you could get.

 

[Lyons]

Rover 800?

 

[Aidan316i]

Its a 1.8 Yaris or something oddball lol

 

[cormac81]

Hmmm a big Saab?

 

[Rob1sp]

No Saab involvement for a change.

 

[GT_MAXER]

old bmw?

 

[Rob1sp]

GT_MAXER, I've got two cars in mind, one of which is BMW, the other a Merc. Both big luxo-barges, so no boy racerness, and not even sure if I'll get on with them being focused more on comfort than handling. I reckon they'd suit perfectly for weekend cruising use, just not sure they'll suit the petrolhead that lurks within

 

[GT_MAXER]

what lumps are you thinking?

 

[cormac81]

Oh the same model you were looking at a few months back?

 

[DaddyCC]

One of them must be some sort of 7 series BM then?

 

[Rob1sp]

cormac81 yes but with bigger engine and better spec, downside being more miles but has been well looked after. I don't want to put the links to the ads up cos i know the like of you lot on here, no sooner posted than some feckstick will have them bought from under me

E65 730D

Always like them

 

[Aidan316i]

E38 750il bought for around 9p and will cost £500 in fuel a week lol

 

[Gaz]

An LPG'd 750iL would be some tool

E38s look great lowered with wheels. And minus stupid looking roof-racks.

That's awesome, I'll go get it for you no problem!

 

[Rob1sp]

Seems cheap doesn't it, although potential for ruination must be high.

 

[cormac81]

It may be auto but still nice..

[Rob1sp]

Feck could you not pick one a bit further away?!?! Any direct flights to Plymouth? I'd expect that to go for about £2.5K or so.

 

[Steve]

Closer to home, and immaculate.. or so its described. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...96-low-miles-and-immaculate-condition/1245342

Exeter from the City then an hour on the train to Plymouth You'd need an early start though

Who's the guy in Ballycastle that can transport cars over for you?
