    I've just realised that the El Camino is what Jesse burst through the gate in during the last episode of Breaking Bad and that could be why the Breaking Bad film is called El Camino.

    Jesse was going to buy the El Camino but realised he had no money and instead bought the Tercel...that's why :D

    Not mine, but went to Spa for the GP at the weekend, nice rental from SIXT in Brussels. My God she goes.

    Surprised they are on German plates if rented from Belgium.

    Did you book it from the start or upgrade at the desk?

    I'd love to do a driving tour of northern Europe, and doing it in a car like that would be a bit special.

    Some machines to be able to rent whereas in good old Ireland you have to do with renting an Opel Corsa or Nissan Juke.

    Sixt in Munich have a serious fleet as it's their home city.

    We did a tour 2 years ago with:
    Golf R
    Golf GTi
    Leon Cupra
    2x mustang V8 convertible
    All from Avis and went down though Austria and Northern Italy over 6 days

    This year we rented:
    X5 M50d
    Merc S500
    Both from Sixt and went down around Salzburg for 3 days.

    I'd recommend it to anyone if you've any interest in cars. They're cheap to rent too for what they are.

    From the start, wasn't expensive at all for the machine it is, same price as a VW Caddy! They have an 850i too.

    It's a guaranteed model so you're not wondering what you'll actually get on arrival.

    Not a million miles away, but Fernpaß. From Munich to Maranello that day via Stelvio Pass.

    Not the place I'm thinking of but did that same route (but not the stelvio as it was closed) to Innsbruck and down to Bologna 2 years ago. Some epic roads

    What kind of prices are the X5 & S500?

    Stelvio was epic on the way up as it was sunny and lovely and we had a nice E92 M3 playing with us...but once we reached the top it became miserable and lashed rain the whole way down :mad::D

    Picked up this little dinger today. 1 owner from new, not an ounce of rust to be found on it anywhere, and 206k miles!

    Yeah, I did wonder of some of the particularly bad areas (top of the drivers wing where it has gone white for example) might be a bit too far gone, but overall I think it will respond well to a proper machine polish.

    The paint on that car looks like it will polish up well.On a slightly different note,something that fascinates me about some red cars is the way the paint fades to pink-I think it`s mainly older vauxhall/opels.
