Our Cars (dream or actual)
-
the dial is absolutely beautiful. well the tt has been redesigned recently iirc. still holds the same shape but with a much better driving aesthetics. not a car i'd like but a nice car nonetheless. thanks for the photos. absolutely love that dash..
love the TTS @FOXY …in about 1.5years from now, when i'm able to drive again, i'm gonna get me a nice clean ride with a nice sound and enough hp!
i thought you could.. and didnt you get the e90 320d the other time?
-
that's the 2015 tt right? do you have pictures of the dashboard. i've seen someone drive it and the dash looks beautiful, with the maps integrated and everything digital.
@louisbosco I took a look at a TT in the local Audi dealer, and snapped a few shots of the dash for you.
I think that it's a cool development, but it already feels dated compared to my (Android) phone.
But the most interesting car in the showroom was the Auto Union Type C.
-
hey cheers @Graeme . getting one yourself? the tt dash is beautiful. unfortunately, the tt is not my style of car i'd like.
-
I'm not planning on getting one @louisbosco. If I was getting a car in that sort of price bracket then I'd probably go for a BMW i3 with the range extender, or the Audi S1.
However, I'd be more likely to blow the money on a Ninja H2, as demonstrated here by Peter Griffin!
And a more sensible bike or cheap car.
-
hmm i cringe at the thought of electric vehicles. something i just can't accept.
though not to shit up the car thread with bikes, i'd probably pick a hayabusa over the h2.
-
Mine.
I like it.
-
e60 m5???? that s85 v10 is one hell of a powerplant…
-
Yep. 5L V10

nice. though how's your experience with the smg or is that a manual?
-
It's an SMG box. It's a pain in the arse when driving normally but brilliant when you are giving it a bit of stick. I'd always prefer a manual but it wasn't an option the the UK (at least not to my knowledge).
It's laugh out loud fast, sounds amazing and properly luxurious. I'm not sure what can ever replace it.

an s65 v8 would match it in term of sound and speed. better with the dct as well rather than the smg. but i don't think it can be replaced. the f10 m5 is quick, but just doesnt sound or feel the same.

Morgan, who are renowned for building cars how they used to be, have announced an electric version of their three wheeler. It's only a prototype, but they're aiming for production next year.
There's a faint possibility of a job in Silicon Valley, and if I made that move I'd get one because everyone there drives Teslas.
But I'd want the Bonneville style streamliner model.

A friend has one of the last M3's with the V8 and it is probably a better car but doesn't feel as special. The M5 just leaves it from 60mph and up.
The F10 is quicker but I couldn't justify the price difference to trade up.
E60 seems to be here to stay. One of the few cars that could tempt me would be a 991 GT3…..

You'll look so cool laying topsy-turvy in the first ditch you encountered…
exactly what i thought. it'd be kinda like that reliant in mr bean.

i can't say cause i haven't driven the e60 before. but i had the e90 m3 for a short period of time. the exhaust notes really sets it apart from their twin turbo plants. all the s65 needs is an aftermarket exhaust tune and a supercharger now that i'm back in school, i cant enjoy those for the time being. but i love the stance of the f10… maybe one day..
good choice on the gt3. if you can live without the luxuries. maybe the rs. the 991 is brutal.

I've been working on my 1984 Land Cruiser a bit this summer. I'm moving away for the 'full safari' look the previous owner had cultivated (see first pic). The 7'8" height also made it hard to park anywhere.
I have a new custom soft top on order (like the black top on the gray truck in the last picture). I need to do some prep work first so I unbolted and removed the high roof this past weekend. After three years in the driveway, I was able to park it in the garage for the first time!
