    You drove a BMW? So are you a p1mp or a drug dealer? Or both?

      A car like that you want to waft about in comfort but have effortless acceleration when you want it. AMG will be a screaming beast and rock hard suspension. Get the SL500 instead http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1164410.htm (£20K with a bit of haggling).
      Thought about it, even thought about the even weedier SL 350, but it's got to be the SL 55 I'm afraid. Okay it's about £10K more expensive, but 500bhp and the sound!

      SL 500 is too soft. I'm not that old yet.

        He's so provincial he thinks he's cool in a BMW. Doesn't realise everyone would laugh at him in London, then try to buy a bag of charles off him.
        At least in the PUg 807 they'd only ask him how much to the airport.

        Hard Brexit now!

          Yes some OP said you didn't understand stats. I see what he meant.

            What would they say to you in your 1.0 Aygo?

            Sorry, I thought you was a learner, love.

              They would understand it's a London supermarket appliance.

                    I have to agree here. Even Swindon's better than London.
                    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014
