    Sad to hear about Julie. She looked like a lovely lady. Ive been saving up for a 2013 to 2016 porsche cayman s with the flat 6 engines. After looking online i started looking at the Aston Martin V8 Vantages and surprised you can pick them up now for less than that porsche

    Cars aren't just about when they were built, top speed or cost. Its really about the emotional connection, how it makes you feel is easily the most important. Be it when you're throwing it around or connections with growing up / family, etc. I've had more fun in a Metro GTa than my 330ci. Anyone focused on anything else is missing the point 🙂 Health to drive

    Sadly since posting this video the values have crashed and these cars are now virtually unsalable in view of the absolutely horrendous fuel consumption, I agree though a beautiful design

    I would leave it as is, look great - you will always have wear and tear and blemishes, just wax it every 6 months
