This Land Rover lives just around the corner, owned by a pair of teachers my wife works with. She once told them woman, "He hasn't said this but if you guys ever want to sell your Land Rover, I know Oliver will want it."  ;D

Seen two Mustang GT350R's in Acton over the past 2 days. Sounds amazing!


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Now the X6 isn't exactly what you would call attractive to begin with, saw one today in a horrid shade of beige, just freaking terrible. Oh, and poor bastard in one of those DCT Focuses had his tranny just freaking let go right next to me. A lot of revs, a lot of bad smell, very little forward motion.
Lighten up Francis.....

I don't mind that, shame we never got it here. Not something I'd buy for myself, but a fun practical convertible is a nice change of scenery on the road. Would make a good used buy for a daughter, wife, mistress, etc. lol.

Or an alternative to renting a Mustang convertible.  :D

This is a Manta Mirage, a tube-frame kit car powered by a mid-mounted SBC. These things had a certain level of respect, and they must be a menace to underpants when floored.

Don't see many of these around here anymore.  This one looked to be in really good shape.

I always thought the 928 was the best looking Porsche.

I looked at a vacant house a couple years ago that had a 928 in the garage. Had we liked the house I probably would have tried to write the car into the deal.  ;D
