Andrew

Agree, the C-X16 would go straight to the top of my 'want' list ahead of the 911 I have always aspired to.

You're right Sy - £8k get's a very hot saloon right now.

A used S6 would steal the show for me, particularly as an all rounder. I've always like that shape and would love a V8. At just £8,000 in today's money, it must get a lot of people thinking... Me included!  :popcornsoda:

Even being a tender 24yo, insurance wouldn't be an issue I don't think, nor would tax or the price of the car as such. I think the regularity of visits to Shell and servicing it would hit the wallet hardest.

It would have to be an E39 M5 for me. I've never driven an S6 but I can't imagine it's much of a handler.

My Boss at work has just got an XFR and it does go like stink.  A company called paramount can fit a smaller pulley and a map to make it 600bhp :scared:

I love M5's but have found myself looking at 535D M sports recently.

There are so many luxury cars that have more power than you realise and are now becoming affordable. I went to the VW garage the other day and nearly fell over when he told me the Scirocco R was £35k and I couldnt get one till nearly Christmas.

Admittedly I was driving this though so wasnt too bothered. Its not mine a customer leant it to me for a very fun (and expensive) weekend
