Wot motor yer driving?

Still got my Jag XF, can get over 65mpg out of it if I want to go at 60-65 on the motorway.

Going to hang on to it until the new Caymans come on the second hand market at a sensible price or there's a great offer on a 13-15 plate one.

20 year old 3 series. Owned from new.

Just clocked 50,0002 miles.

Yes, it's taken a while.

Good man. I had an 18-year-old C-Class Merc with 144K, but only owned it for five years. It was built in the duff years and rusted underneath like a 70s Japmobile. My Mum bought a three-year-old S-Class Merc using it for the next 17 years. It got to 200K before it waved the white flag. I love bangonomics.

Contracting is not what it used to be judging by the motors folks are driving.

They're just posh.

As motorway trouser fillers go, you could do worse than 360.

I'd rather that than 180 or, worse still, 270!

Depends very much on which of the 360s you're talking about as well.

Perhaps most others have realised it's not worth spending gazillions on a flash car for no good reason.


I'm struggling to stop myself buying back the very same Corrado I used to own in my child free days. I am pretty sure I don't need a second car.

Once the kids have moved out, we don't need a four seater per se, we simply need something for tip runs, Ikea collecting, and other things like that.

Sporty number for weekends and workhorse for during the week if I've got a "drive to" client.

Ohh that's a great car. Forgetting the lights, the body shape can still give most cars on the market a run for it's money unlike other ones of the era that look decidedly dated. Get a good one and look after it I am sure the price is going to start going up for them soon. Good be a good investment and a bit of throwback fun.

I had one for a few years, I got rid of it about 12 years ago I think. An enthusiast bought it - I regretted selling it ever since. He's had a lot of work done to it and is now selling it again. I'm properly tempted. It was the funnest car I've ever had.
