Well I love it

Post by Zakbelle » Sun Jun 08, 2014 2:43 pm

I know it's not politically correct, colour not to everyones taste, drinks too much fuel for some, road tax makes you cry but I love it, want to drive it all the time and fingers crossed hope it's reliable for me until I can save up for an E70

Yeah well I'm gonna say the scratches, slight wear in the bolster seat and tv screen, kerbing to the alloys, rust forming in the lower tailgate are all adding to it's character :) I got it for a pretty good price and intended to sort these issues to make it mint but once I'm inside with the foot on the accelerator the problems all disappear. May keep the money for my gearbox lol

Mine is actually still in the garage but when it comes out, this will be its finest hour, it's taking me to the south of France in the coming weeks so it can have its time to shine if we get there and back with no issues  :'(

Is that similar to BMWs 'Ferric Gey' or paler/darker?
