@MattTakeThree Keep V70 (because practical), keep 9”820 cos let’s be honest, it’s a summer toy and no one’s going to take unless you give it away. And it’s good for meets and stuff. 9-3 has sentimental value but it’s time is done really, isn’t it? Or keep the lot. Or don’t. Your call.

@hoodrugdealer @ChristiGladius @mattjameswright We’ll agree to have differing opinions. I was actually only thinking of something say 3 years old. Let someone else take the depreciation hit, it’ll have been fixed under warranty and should provide good service for a more reasonable outlay.

@hoodrugdealer @ChristiGladius @mattjameswright You’re (wrongly) assuming a used car will need lots of repairs. Whilst I accept a used car may be older and need some attention, if bought wisely it’s not a forgone conclusion that it will need more than basic maintenance. And the cost saving pays for it many times over.

@GatehouseTwenty So people can ask Google to show them what tits on a fish would look like.

@Tankslider You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! That’s a Bachmann Turned Over [by] Driver.

@Tedisiek See also 1900s, cars will never catch on, you just cannot beat a good stout horse. Etc.

@adrianfclarke @SancastleAir But I will admit to not paying attention and realising the A-Team van was grey above the red striping. In period I always thought it was black.

I have just seen a Mitsubishi FTO with a black vinyl roof and, honestly. I think part of my brain is now broken.

@cressyslider @APater6076 @000_three Same 🤣🤣

@APater6076 @000_three It’s to keep the luggage cool.

@MattTakeThree 1. Has any article so far this week had less real world relevance?

2. I have an iPhone XR. By this metric does that mean I’m a “high net worth” individual? Yay for me. 🤣🤣

@TheMekon_Venus From what I remember, he was basically a bumbling arsehole. The kid managed to solve all the crimes and let him take the credit for everything.

@CLittle92 @Motor1com Predates the Discovery by over a decade.

@GeoffBuysCars It’s screwing up the rolling radius fractionally. So the speedo will under-read a bit.

[Paul Smith @smithp573]

@theseoldcars Never lusted after one of these. They never did very well in comparison tests as the Elise was always a more engaging experience or a Boxster was a more livable with day to day companion. These were neither fish nor fowl. And they were expensive too for what you got.

@charterhouse_v Does it come with the supplemental handbrake device pictured?

[Paul Smith @smithp573]

@Rockstarscars Don’t hate me but I saw your photo and immediately thought of this…

[Paul Smith @smithp573]

@turboww @AutoPap I suppose every car is really.
