That was quite good for you. You need to look to look up the meaning of "witty", though.Originally posted by AtW View PostAnd then you make big mistake of actually talking ...

Could go for the petrol Nissan Murano, the 350Z engine in a Cayenne like body, cheap to buy but a tad thirsty, but no worse than a 350Z.
Luxury and performance.
I have a 2.5D Murano and love it.Last edited by Scrag Meister; 20 September 2013, 13:41.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

If you're worried about other peoples opinions go with the Porsche. I went from a Boxster to Audi RS5 and my neighbours thought I was made redundant …Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI have it on my list to go test drive one of these. Even being an AMG I hate the SLK having a hairdressers car image but listening to the exhaust noise on YouTube I would get over it
A hell of a lot of car for under 20k!Comment

I just had to look that up, it would go on a list for future but I'm waiting to see how the Alfa 4C turns out.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI have it on my list to go test drive one of these.

Friend of mine had a RS4 Avant as a practical family/shopping car, sure the RS5 is equally fun.Comment

I've had an S4, and loved that. Alfa 4C looks to be stunning, if a tad expensive.Originally posted by IRMe View PostI just had to look that up, it would go on a list for future but I'm waiting to see how the Alfa 4C turns out.

There are so many exciting engines coming through. Peugeot have produced a 1.6 Turbo producing 270bhp, then look at AMG producing 355bhp from 2 litres, Ford have produced 1 litres producing over 170 bhp. All of these engines appear in various other cars too. Exciting times for petrol heads.
To put this all into perspective, the M1, BMW's first super car, had 277bhp. The first Ford Sierra Cosworth had 204 bhp. Now cooking versions of BMW estate cars have over that.Comment
