    Actually i'd seriously buy one. One of my mates has just bought an R400.

    BUT, i realistically don't have the time to justify what is essentially a car for the track at the moment.

    I bought the bike this year as a weekend toy, and its only done 900miles this year. A car like that would probably get used the same amount and would be an utter waste.

    Perhaps when i stop working offshore. . . .

    i had a go of one of these which had 702bhp and that was NUTS!, it would leap off the tarmac every time i hit the throttle, you would see a set of lights about to go red, floor it and the next thing you know it was about a mile pass the lights :lol: one of the craziest things i have ever driven.

    As expected, there is no discount to be had on the R models.

    Was very close to puttin the deposit on the rocco today, but couldn't do it, 28k, and probably wouldnt see the car til April/May!

    X2. I cant get my head round it, you obviously dont want performance so why not just get a 'nice' car.

    err, have you ever been in one?

    they aren't even that quick.

    you need your head looking at if you want to waste your coin on crap like that.

    I want a Limited. That badly. It's nothing to do with what it can do. I just want one THAT badly.

    Is that what they're meant to look like?

    I remember NNV looks different....

    Would rather spend 25k on turbo'd R32 Mk2 to be quite honest.

    Won't be able to corner for s**t but it will burn through tires like silly.

    Well, bought a run around for the time being from a mate at work who was needing to shift quickly

    57plate Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-line Special Edition


    Quite the Audi option shopping list :lol:

    Bit of a bargain i think, 12kmiles, 4 new tyres, very clean, should be able to run for a few months and get shot without losing much if anything!

    It is? [:s] dragging 4 wheel drive, in an estate car that is just going to commute is good only for wasting more fuel than you need to
