In love with something you can't afford

Post by Boggle73 » Thu Jun 27, 2013 11:34 am

Seen the new F type in the metal today, what a great looking car.

It is right up my street, will have to wait a few years to get one though. The colour on the pictures does not do it justice, like a very dark Daytona grey. Really set the car off well.

I will put pictures up, excuse me if they end up sideways. Still don't know how to correct that.

Jay.

Nice. I like the look of the V8 S and the sound that thing makes is awesome.

I often look at cars I can't afford. Been spending lots of time looking at the C63 and RS5. So close to getting one yet so far.

C63 sounds brilliant, I'm not that keen on its looks though.

RS5 is a very nice motor, wonder if they will use the 3.0 bi turbo from RS6 eventually.

I spent ages looking through cars before I purchased latest one, kept wishing I had another £30k to spend.
We all have supercar dreams, but £60k gets you some serious motors.

I bet that Jag is big up close. Like the GTR, pictures make it look much smaller than it actually is. I looked at Aston Martin V8 Vantages a while back but a major service was £1200 and a minor £900! Then again nice ones were up for £30k reasonable mileage.

I was quite surprised, it doesn't look big at all. The inside looks quality too, unlike some of the Aston Martins. Why do they have to put a bendy bus steering wheel in them?

Jag looked a nice thing, hope they depreciate like an S8 :biggrin3:
