He said as much on twitter but he is a BMW fanboy.

He had/has the '28 M5, massive fan of the M135i... ZF gearbox.. BMW i8.

Also got himself a period Blaupunkt... nice chap :D

He's also said before he thought the e30 m3 was overrated.

With what they're worth at the moment is there really much more room for prices to grow?

They're already in the absurd bracket at the moment, it can't go on forever, but then I've been predicting the bubble will burst for a couple of years and no sign of that yet..
cheers,

Motoring journalist. Writes for Pistonheads amongst others and is a bit of a hero. Doesn't talk shit, specialises in doing big smokey drifts in exotica (check out his YouTube videos) and a genuine car nut. Currently owns a Ferrari FF and is building an e30 m3 rally car.

Famous, or perhaps infamous for a Jalopnik article where he called Ferrari out on the bullshit they make journalists do to review their cars, worth a read.

Then Ferrari threw the girliest of strops and banned him from testing ANY Ferrari. Even ones they had sold to the general public....


I see ///Drive has made the transition to cable TV!

Edit: Was Ferrari using two different cars for journalists reviews, but they definitely weren't set up differently :roll:

I was wondering how he was buying cars, since the only Chris Harris I know of is an actor who died a few weeks ago!

With DTM cars making well over a quarter of a million euros and some Sport Evo's touching £100k you would think not but......

......the Sport Evo is on the cusp of hitting 25 years old.

That mean's they are eligible for import to the united states and they never got the Sport evo.

We have two sold and in storage for when the time comes.

Bloody speculators! :roll:

Bubble? I really don't think that is what we are seeing! It's more a case of people with a lot of money buying cars, the biggest cause is probably the emerging economies in Asia!
