Yeah they still make them in Mexico and run them on ethanol or something like that

There's also a company that still makes camper vans

They've got a 6 series in Barons here Jay, if you come up from sunny Basingtoke and have a look give me a shout

I had a bit of a blast in the Skybus against some young guy in a 6 series a while back, I think he shit his pantsas I was broadside going around the Lightwater roundabout off the M3

Mind you, I shit myself too

You can buy Brand New Beetles and Conbi Vans at the old Vauxhall Dealer in Stourbridge in the Midlands, made in Mexico I think

The Combi Van is about Ł30k as well

I have a 645i Convertable now. Dark Silver, Red leather. Pretty ugly from some angles but is a serious headturner with the roof down (not a good thing all the time and to some people I realise), it has alot of presence though.

Lovely comfy thing to drive, fast and practical
