@jasonplato @QuestTV @DiscoveryUK @FifthGearTV @vb_h @MrRoryReid Solid presenter line up. Might give this a go

@AutoPap Did it a few weeks back to dieppe, so easy. Apart from the French couple that didn’t return to their car and blocked us all in 😂

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@idriveaclassic Like it but my money would go on a Porsche 944 personally

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@autocar Had the pleasure of having my hands on a few thousand over the years from start to finish including P7, It will be missed…. Picture contains my favourite spec, Firesand, polished Gyrodynes, Coupé and a 2wd V8 to complete.

@neilorpen @ListerLawrence I’m 6ft and driven hundreds of them, it takes a while but I found a way of driving it with the window closed…….eventually

@tom550993 You can pay almost £45k for a Vauxhall Astra these days.

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@MrRoryReid Without a warranty I would be anxious about having to fork out up to £30k for a new battery.

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@Carpervert If it’s EV then surely the battery will hinder boot space?

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@AutoPap Do it 😉

@BygoneSapper @BurtieBrom @AutoPap @Jaguar It’s the sweet spot

@hjwakerley @CopartUKAuto @CopartUKLimited Problem with copart is that foreign buyers drive the prices sky high these days

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@k9cbw @AutoPap What new cars are faultless? Let me know as I would buy one tomorrow

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@AutoPap Nice, you just need a 130 V8 to make a set now

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@TheAndrewBrady They are at that age now where the ones at the lower end of the price have either been badly repaired or had tat grafted onto them. I genuinely miss mine but with the rust issues they have and also
Mine being an M sport it suffered when it came to speed bumps etc.

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@AutoPap The issue is compliance to regulations will always restrain design aesthetics for the modern time.

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@AutoPap How do you find the 4 wheel steering?, still amazes me how tight the turning circle is on them, almost feels like it turns on the spot.

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@AutoPap Saw my first one the other day in France,

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@AutoPap Yep ordered mine last week, only needed in cities like Paris, emissions related

[Sam Standell @SammyV6]

@AutoPap Mk2 golf safari maybe?
