I asked the MRS but she is not keen on another car at home having just got shot of one off the drive, she said I would have to sell my little Gti or the 944
there is a saying I would rather beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission then you tend to get what you want rather than what she will let you have😂

Yes, I am fond of that saying BUT wait until you meet my wife...there is no forgiveness. She still has not even sat in the Red pug, 944 OR the TT out of protest and she calls my Gti "the little tin can" and only drives that if she really has to. Funny though...I struggle to get the keys of my Rangie.

with that range of toys you could probably also afford a second wife and then you could simply ask permission for another car off the one most likely to say 'yes'

My opinion would be ap6 paddle with alcon cover

It’s an old car mine was fine didn’t drive like a 2010 bmw but it’s not meant too. Certainly not as heavy as people make out un less I have strong legs lol. Iver way I’d rather it reliable on a modded car
