Stock. I don't feel like Mercedes cars are the type of car that I'd want to race someone with.

Fun but scary to drive above 70/75 (in the autobahn ofc :wink: ). Oh and occasionally in the rainy days water gets into the distributor and the car shuts off lol.

Talking of luxury, I got to sit in a BMW 730D E65-on a 08' plate. Absolutely amazing car, I get why people buy these things. its fast for a big girl, and she'll still get over 30mpg. Just lovely, lovely car. The 3.0 diesel is smooth and drives like a petrol car. Absolutely chuffed.

Well they're like £60000 new and the cheapest facelift I could find on auto trader was an 07 with 296000 miles for £4750. That car is truly amazing, it has some serious power under the bonnet. There I was expecting it to be a boat.

You've had one? Super jealous! My mum says she used to have one and when it rained, the water would come up through a hole in the floor! Doesn't stop me wanting one though.

Its a rust bucket. Don't get one lol, its not practical at all. I met my hero and I was left disappointed. It doesn't have good brakes, it doesn't have electric ignition/ fuel injection- my choke was a bit temperamental making cold starts rather interesting. Basically what you'd expect from 1960s car design. You're better off getting the more reliable Rover 100 series which is basically a different body on a Mini platform but with better suspension. The K series engine is far livelier and its more just fun. The ancient A series engine (1945 design) just wasn't that nice plus having to change oil and filter every 3000 miles did my head in given that I do 10-15k p/a

Jaguar, audi and then range rovers.

Audi based on personal experience.

I've stuck with them ever since I got my first car. What I like most is the effortlessly sporty designs, immense build quality and their Quattro AWD system. Love the new 'virtual cockpit' as well.

This will obviously change once I've sampled the offerings of other manufacturers.

My dad has an E220, it's quite nice although not as nice as an A7.
If I was to go with Mercedes I'd get a C63 or a Brabus cls.

Nein, I'm really into my Porsche's, I love them all from the 964's to the gt3rs's.
Although I'm slowly getting more into JDM.

Well I'm suprised tbh! I genuinely thought it would be Audi!
But I do like Porsches!! Esp the 914, 928 and the 959

Yes that's what I like to hear! I'm a huge JDM fan!
What's made you get into that then?

Audi are magnificent!
So your first car was an Audi? Wow! Nice one!
Yes their designs are awesome, the build quality is immense (as you said) and their AWD system appears to be the best in the world!
Hmm I've not seen that yet, or at least have forgotten about it, what is it?

Well it may not, you may have an unchangable love for Audi!
