[quote=""millerman1ac""]went to newcastle on sat with my mate to buy his latest car a 2007 ST3..
sorry but we took a hire car so no compare with my 4.4
i will say the ST3 has some go!!
having driven both it feels like a close call on a drag!!
i will come back when i have the facts!! ;o)[/quote]
Shame you weren't in your X to note the comparison... i'm sure you may bump into each other at some point on the roads to give it a whirl.

My early cars were quite boring, apart from my very first which was awesome. Anyone use to go to Bug Jam about 91?
1968 VW Type 3 Squareback
1984 VW Polo
1989 Renault 5
1992 Renault Clio RT
1989 BMW 318i Touring (work pool car I managed to nick ALL the time)
1988 BMW 520i Lux
1996 Saab 900 SE Turbo
1996 Peugeot 405 GLD Estate (don't ask)
1999 BMW 328i M Sport Touring
2004 BMW X5 3.0i Sport
2002 BMW 330i M Sport Touring (current)
Years are the car age, not time of ownership. I wasn't around in 1968!
Future cars will all be BMWs, unless I can kick this addiction!

Oh and if we are doing future cars it is unlikely to be a BMW.
Current front runner is an RS5 Cab or maybe new RS4, neither of which have been announced yet!
