What's next for you then Derek? It's an M3 you have just now isn't it? Although these cars are a proper pain in...the bank account..they're wonderfully good fun.
Well, that's a very good question. Currently torn between two/three options...
Option 1 - The most sensible and most likely - Is to buy an old Audi A6/Audi A4 out right and run it for a bit whilst putting together a deposit for a new house.
Option 2 - Lease something quick but not as bonkers as the M3 in terms of monthly rentals and running costs such as BMW 135i/335i/Audi S4/Merc A class
Option 3 - Is to just think "bugger it" and get a new M3 Saloon or Merc C63 saloon.
The first option is 85% likely to happen.
Going back to Bigmac's Golf R. I actually like it. Love Golf GTi's (have owned a couple in the past) but for my taste the difference in styling between the new R and the GTi just isn't big enough for such a difference in car, compared to the last model. No doubt it's just as much fun to drive and I suppose if it was a lairy looking as the Astra VXR for example (stunning in my opinion) it wouldn't satisfy the "wolf-in-sheeps-clothing" niche that some people are looking for.
