Recently changed from my trusty Mazda 6 to a BMW 320i. I considered a 325i but after driving this one I decided it was the right car for me at the right time. Maybe someday down the line I'll go for the 6 cylinder but I couldn't justify it at this time and I'm extremely happy with what I have.

And on a recent visit to my mother I got a snap of my new car with her new car. A Peugeot 2008. We obviously have different tastes in cars but I'm really impressed with the Peugeot, looks good, drives lovely and has a really nice, unique interior.

Dem exhausts are just trim surrounding pea shooters :pac:

It's one of the small things that annoyed me about that car!

They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

I also considered an RX-8 but then I realised I'd be copying you in the wrong direction...that and the engine of the best one I could find online was in absolute rag order when I went to see it so I took it as a sign that it wasn't meant to be. It's a shame the condition that most of them seem to be in nowadays.

I've had this for nearly a year, tis the daily hack. Pics before & after a good claying, polish & waxing.

bear1 · 29-08-2014 11:07AM

Glad you didn't put a poxy cd player in there. I t would ruin the outlay of the dash.
She looks mint inside and nice leather colour

Chris_Heilong · 29-08-2014 11:44AM

Thats the body finished for now, I am going to keep the wheels a while longer, just need a nice stainless steel twin exhaust.

quadrifoglio verde · 29-08-2014 11:48AM

Looking well Chris? Would souhans be able to make you one?

Cheers Bear1 - its a Blaupunkt Toronto, which was a fairly high spec model back in the day. I have considered putting a CD in there, but I've a stack of old school tapes that need to be played, so I kept with it.
She's basic, but sound. The upholstery is MB-tex btw, but looks the part

Nice going

Barely run in from what I can see of the mileage.
Those Mercs are bulletproof.

thanks, 125k on the clock now, so plenty of life left in her, and I plan to hold on to her for some time yet. I'm the 4th keeper from new. Last owner had her for nigh on 18 years.
