Interested to know what you have chosen as your next car.

Sydney. Bankstown.

Cheers. It's going to be interesting to see the reaction. I've never seen another one in newcastle, and they are very colour dependent. I nearly bought a Mini Cooper S JCW but these are a little bit slower, but a hell of a lot more comfortable over cracks in the F3.

Geez your playing the game.....not giving it away easily. So now i know that you considered a Mini......is it a 208GTI, Alfa Mito/Guillietta or Fiat 500? Or a Volvo C30 or a Skoda.

The Skoda's are very colour dependent if you ask me. Some of their colours are pretty bland while others are quite bright and exciting.

He said "toy" and "completely different", therefore it's probably a Caterham or a Ferrari.

Yeah, was looking at the Skoda Fabia, but wanted to go a bit different.

The Alfa Giuletta was very nearly my choice, but I just wasn't sold on a few bits and pieces. Hate the 208GTI dashboard, the Fiat 500 is a bit too small and the C30 just didn't float my boat.

This is fun

I hate you....im so bad at guessing.

So im thinking it might be a different type of Mini, not the crazy hard riding JCW model. So a more comfortable and slightly slower Mini Cooper S or perhaps a Mini Clubman S.

Mini's are built in the UK (as far as im aware) and although owned by BMW, not actually German sort of...kind of.

(silvrfoxx not allowed to guess)

So we have 2x RB Golf R owners leaving the stable and playing the "guess my next car" game. Mabye the blue ones aren't all that good afterall

So whats this twin turbo V6 you speak of....i assume a diesel something or rather. Audi SQ5
