Your a bad man Chris ! :D

Looks like a '77 or'78 Cadillac coupe/ sedan de ville that some proper council type has reversed into a
caravan at speed :)

It must be a real dilemna when he goes to Billing, take the Caddy or the Renault tragic ? decisions decisions :)

That must surely be a couple of kit cars without a doubt?

Lol....

well to find a house in somewhere like Ilford with lots of BMWs/Mercedes-Benzs is commonish. I used to live for quite a long time so i have seen it.

You also get alot of kids with bmw 3 series (it used to be E30 then E36 probably E46 now maybe even E92) with big wheels/slammed suspension/blacked out windows/loud stereos that give the rest of us a bad name who dont like to associated with that but thats another thread for pub talk lol.

But Ferraris..............that is another level. I think i used to have a poster of one F40 as a kid and one Athena one of a 911 Turbo. Anyone has a F40 must be a petrolhead and i think is supposed to be one of the cars most motoring journalists name as their favourite.

In areas like Ilford brand new M3s/911s are more of a rare sight more so with the 911s. I dont think any self-respecting asian lad these days would be seen dead in a compact/Z3/TT.

Since I've been getting into Rice , I've got to admit I'd love a Impreza 22b , closest thing to the WRC car they ever made. £30k price tag for a really well sorted one.

Must have a screw loose , because I'd like a Rang Rover sport with the big desil engine because the V8 Supercharged one is a bit too thirsty lol.

I think one of the later E-Types can be got for sub £50k , not sure if you can get a series 2 front with the dome lights but would want the updated gearbox though , as I'm told the early ones are really horrid to drive with.

A nice M5 or Alpina B10 would certainly be something I would have to consider. Maybe get both , the B10 for the daily and the M5 for the weekend.
