SOFT spot?

Skarkie you taking that BMW X3 3.OTT thing seriously?

If I was to replace the Tiguan with another SUV it would definately be the new X3 for sure. However the Tig will be with us as a daily runaround for quite some time yet.

I'd go an Audi S1.
Apparently they are running a RWD biassed AWD system and it's going to be priced pretty competitively.

No, S1 has been confirmed as the 1st S Audi ever to be FWD only. Its just an Audized version of the upcoming Polo GTI.

now that's exciting!

That reminds, I must give that mate of mine a call to see if he went the M3, the CaymenS or the 911. He was dissapointed that BMW only gave you 6 launch control starts under warantee, Porche don't care how many you do so he was leaning to them, but he loves the beemer - and it's a lot cheaper than the 911.

The MK6 don't want to hear it, but at some point in time Launch Control will become a sticky point with VW and they will either ban its use or like BMW limit its use ....

Love the M3s, they are awesome, and was thinking of a E46 model as my toy ..... but then the oppertunity came up to get into a 3yr old from Zuffenhausen ....

A workmate's 07 Boxster S (3.4l 6 spd man) is coming off lease end Feb and he is planning on replacing it with something new from Porsche ..... so depending on when its replacement arrives I'll be getting it for a very good price .... I may even stop riding the bike to work on a daily basis and mix it with trips in the Boxie ..... .... but then again .... unless its a Bugatti Veyron, there's nothing that can compare to the thrill of actually getting to a 100 in 3s .....

Yeh can definitely understand the appeal of a boxster, my brother and I hired one years ago and it was fantastic, loved every minute of it! It was only the 2.7 but was still lots of fun and had a fantastic crescendo building top end, just what you want in a sports car, left you wanting to rev it out again and again.

Interestingly I saw a story somewhwre not long ago on the web or wheels or the like where they compared the gold GTI, WRX and boxster with the models of 10 years ago to see how much they'd changed. Theyd all improved but with the boxster especially, they indicated that the first ones coming out with the bigger motors offer fantastic value now, because they are in many respects nearly every bit as good for fun driving as the later models. Anyway that one sounds a great buy if its priced well.

Awesome choice in naked machine, bloke!! I don't know you guys (yet), but i can see we have a bit in common...
Anyways, thought i should seize the opportunity & post a pic of my Buell. Here she is:

A shame they dismantled the Buell brand. They were tough looking bikes!

Yours is to clean, you need to dirt it up a bit
