As old age starts to catch up on me now that I've just crept past 26, I have suddenly gone all sensible (relatively speaking). Although to be honest, the birth of my daughter a year ago caused me to grow up damm fast.

The Octavia vRS idea was canned, cos I couldn't get out the company car scheme.

To compliment the 200sx, and mainly to cart my little girl around in on Saturdays I have gone and bought.....

Wait for it.....

Promise not to piss yourself laughing......

a 1986 Mercedes 190 2.3-16v Cosworth!!!

Sixteen years old and it drives like new.

80K miles, the last 50K by an elderly Doctor

Black, manual, Mint, FFSH,

The absolute puppies of eighties slab sided bodykits!!

Just the small matter of six Grand though!

Flame me now!

Nice sounding car m8. Does having a Merc mean you're going to pap your horn at anyone who dares to go faster than you? :D

The unscheduled, but most welcome arrival at the end of the year of baby JB has had me looking round for something sensible for the future Mrs JB to pootle around in (she currently drives a Venturi). After much searching because it has to be left hand drive, I stumbled upon a Lancia Thema 8.32. It's 8 cylinder, 32 valves of Ferrari scrabbliness now graces our drive and makes my Volvo seem the boring old man's car it really is.

Nice!!
Anyone to flame that is a muppet.
At least it's not a Skoda. ;)

There's a guy on the Zed board (Timmy-Turbo) with one, 183k I think.
