Yeah. They called me today and told me it's an issue with the temperature control Circuit. They also want to flash the ECU for diagnostics.

Quoted me ?312!! I told them to do one as it was warranties. 10 minutes later I get a call saying it's ?81 instead.

Did you tell them to do one again?

I'm not happy but I don't have a lot of choice.

[Brad]

Lmao! Took me a moment to realise what I was seeing.

[Brad]

Ok chaps, who knows what this is? Or was originally?



It's registered in Azerbaijan, currently in St Tropez, has been customised by FAB Design and looks like it has Gull-wing doors maybe?

The grill looks similar to a a Merc SLK to my eyes but that'd be madness to take a convertible and put gull-ings on it?

That's the only image I have, can't get any more. Help me obi-wan kenobi, you're my only hope.

EDIT: OK, it's a Merc SLS AMG Gullwing

[charlesr]

Lights like like a 350Z though

[Brad]

Friend interested in a BMW 220i or 228i (new). Thoughts from anyone who's driven one?

[Jamie]

The 228I is great, test drove an M Sport before i bought the R, really quick and well balanced. Felt quality as well.

[Brad]

Thanks man. What made you choose the VW then?

[Jamie]

Practicality mainly, 5 doors and a loads of space. 300bhp may have swung it slightly.

Hate the styling of this car, but bet it shifts at that weight with that engine in

Twenty grand and only 0-60 in a shade over 5 seconds, sod that. It will theoretically corner well but I doubt it will be much better than an Elise. Just get one of those with the VVTI-L from the Celica GT.
