Koenigsegg's new car has a 2 litre 3 pot with 600bhp.

It also has a single speed gearbox and 3 electric motors with a combined additional 1400bhp!

Two months back I got a new car (BMW330e), I’ve done 200 miles since then

I filled the tank on mine in mid-March. Started WfHome the next day. Still a couple of hundred miles worth left.

Looking to sell the Alpina despite the fact its been locked down for months the onboard computer has decided that the brake fluid needs changing PITA

How does it know if you've done it or not?

[Mr. Dazzle]

Dealer resets it...so you could always lie.

Mine even knows when you need an MOT. Which is fine, except you have to get the MOT done by someone with a BMW service computer otherwise it will be forever telling you it needs a vehicle inspection!

TImed I guess and dealer resets service indicator, post change. Its not clever enough to know that Ive put new rear disks on it though.

I've just been to look at a Smart FourTwo, they're quite roomy, however theres no height adjustment on the seat or steering wheel, you have to be a very specific shape to drive one comfortably, neither of us are that shape.

It was parked next to a Fiat 500c. Guess what she wants to buy now?

[Taipan]

We’ve used my convertible a lot this summer and my wife is now saying she’d like a convertible Mini when we change her Cooper. Well, we don’t need two convertibles, so my emerging plan is to get her a convertible Mini and sell my BMW and get a small camper van. Hmmmm....

My daughter was very happy with hers, but every time I went out in it with her I shat myself because it feels like you're the smallest thing on the planet and everything else is going to run over you.

I drive JCW Mini Coupe, it's not much bigger... But a lot faster.

A friend of mine had a 500 Abarth which was indecently quick. She said it was like driving a jet propelled skateboard

[KungFooBob]

The 180bhp 1.4 535 Abarth has similar 0-60 times as my JCW, a smidge over 6 seconds.

The 1.2 500c I looked at for the wife today is 12.6 to 60mph

I have around 8 cars at the moment, roughly...haven't counted for a bit, and don't really like to as then I can be nice and vague with SWMBO.

Normal driver is either this:

LR3 (1024x576).jpg (502.86 KiB) Viewed 1509 times

or the black one that 'replaced it' when I sell it, hopefully in the next couple of weeks now.

or:

Tigger (1024x576).jpg (293.76 KiB) Viewed 1509 times

which is really SWMBO's car, although she's driving the CRV that was bought to replace the Qashcow that the Tigger was bought to replace.
or the VW EOS, which I rather like, even though it drives like a Golf, only not quite as much IYSWIM.

Still wanting to get this back on the road, but at least it isn't really losing money sitting around:

There are quite a few more, so maybe more than 8.

[Kneerly Down]

Oh, and this that I 'accidentally' acquired with house purchase down south earlier this month!

I quite like mine. Roomier than you'd think inside and fine on the motorway.

Which motor is in yours?

She's insisting on an auto and the dualogic ones are rare in normal 500 spec, never mind C.

Errrrrr it's the 1.2 Lounge. 5 speed manual

[KungFooBob]

So she ended up with an Aygo!

The JBL Special Edition one (cos she wanted an auto and there's bugger all in the country except the JBLs). She wanted the Funroof too, but that's a factory order and wouldn't land until Christmas.



0% PCP.

I've got the cash to buy it outright, but the PCP makes more sense at 0% and £196 a month, the cash can stay in the Premium Bonds a bit longer.

I'll probably end up buying it at the end of the lease for £4k.
