Dream car ...

So what happened to them after they made the Viggen?

 

My daughter starts a new job shortly with the Mercedes Driving Academy, it'll be interesting to see what she makes of them.

I'm with you on that! My son actually likes them! Everything that's ugly isn't necessarily bad, what's it like to drive and maintain Longk?

You're right the demise of Saab is very sad!

 

Okays lads and lasses, a gold star for anyone that can tell me what this is. Two more pictures to follow if you do or don't guess it.

 

Nice one FC! You certainly know your vehicles.

Corvette Stingray.....




My son is a biker at heart but he took a fancy to this while out window shopping.

 

I delivered a customers car back last week and he insisted I had a drive of his latest addition - a Mercedes S63 AMG..................


Utterly incredible performance for such a huge car (0 to 60 in about 4.5secs) and the MagicRide system means that speed bumps and their ilk cease to exist. But...............it was still utterly soulless. If I could blow £100000 on a car it would still be a 300SEL 6.3.................

 

Should if turned all the electronic gizmos off @longk that would have given it some soul

 

Not really. It's hard to define, but it's not so much the gizmos as the way that the whole comes together. It lacks that hard to describe air of class and quality. Basically, it just feels like a BeeEmm or Lexus with a Merc badge.

He's a brave man! Did he not Google Cayenne engine failure?! Rare on the newer ones, but still enough to put me off. Mind you, the water cooled flat sixes are prone to engine failure too, so I'm not than keen on modern Porsche in general.

 

67 Camaro SS

There are too many to choose from, all of them muscle cars US with big V8's

you can't go wrong though with a trans am (79 pictured) below



If aint got a v8 it aint great



I could spend all day posting cars ha ha ha I love US muscle cars 1960-1980 and I have a soft spot for several others later muscle cars I find BMW's, Audi's and Mercs offensive

 

Of course you can't go wrong with a GTO judge



or of course a Challenger

 

Ahhh...........a VW Touareg then! Actually, fairly reliable engine wise.

The only two 3.2s we had on our books are long gone. The first was scrapped owing to head gasket failure (the owner refused to throw any more money at it), and the second required a timing chain so she traded it for a Merc ML (another bleedin' liability!). I'm sure that I was told that VW produced a modified chain tensioner to combat premature chain issues on some cars.
