Drove Mega's ST today

[The Swede]

Swede are you really bumming up a ford with a bloody volvo engine ? You get better every time you post man.

As bro rightly say's us M5 and Aston drivers really dont give a toss at the end of the day, and no matter how you chop and change your views the M5 is still a masterpiece and is still over 70 grand and is maybe outwith your reach financially which may lead you back to some sort of primival jealousy I dont know but its still one of the best car's on the road today.

FPMSL !!!

Sure.

1. 70K... I thought you just bought your M5 second hand.

2. The M5 is a complete cock-up of a car. Bunch of engineers that tried to make a good engine, a good gearbox, etc and completely forget to talk to eachother.

3. Can you give me one reason I would be jealous of someone who has an M5 ?

[bbigman2000]

72 Grand Mine was new mega, I bought it 18 months old with 15k on clock

I think you have answered your own question swede, you cannot afford one so obviously you are jealous of those who can.

And I'm in utter astonishment that you are rubbishing the work of BMW's motorsport divisions finest engineers and designers, and a car who's engine was engine of the year for 2 or 3 years running ?!

[Foley]

I'd love a M5 but i know i could never afford to buy one with my wages
There seems to be alot of snobbery on this fourm and am sure most people would like to own an M5 and not just me,

[WR1 Bro]

Bigman and Swede are the resident snobs on the WR1oc but they mean no harm... Just abuse them and smile at their banter.

I'd love either the M5 or the S-AMG. At least Bigman gets his car respectfully cleaned unlike the Stickman who takes it to a BP car wash.

Personally, I'd rather have an FQ 400

I think you have just ordered yourself a smack on the nose from the WeeMan himself.

[Megaman]

An FQ 400... isnt that a case of...

accelerate... go make a cup of tea... keep accelerating... grab a bite to eat.... go for a Stu style dump... take a pic and send it to ya mates... keep on accelerating... then woosh the power comes in like a rocket...

lag? whats that?

[John Mc]

.... go for a Stu style dump...

... it's not that much of a lag...

So, youve never driven one...

...and you believe what Jeremy Clarkson says on a TV programme.

Can you see the flaw in either of your assuptions there

Personnally neither the M5 or the AMG float my boat, but thats just my taste. Both excellent cars i'm sure but dont really do what i'm looking for in a car. But then what idiot would spend £20k on a renault with plastic windows

[John Mc]

I think Mega is referring to the test against the other car (forget what it was..) in top gear from 30mph... it just proved how big the turbo was.

The fact that the computer (because clearly Clarkson can't drive) just kept up with a new Lambo around the track....

I know, I was just trying to wind him up without using the f word

Never driven an FQ400 - i actually looked for one when looking at the WR1 and never found one.. loads of FQ320's about though...

[bbigman2000]

Somone has to take the snobbery title bro

But no seriously, I am as grounded as they come, I worked my way up from being pennyless to reasonably well off.

[John Mc]

I'll hold my hands up and agree that I'm a little snobbish about badges.

Recently, when I walked into the private Oracle Finance dealership in London and was offered the choice of a Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari 599, Mercedes SLR, BMW M5 and a WR1, the dealer told me that there were 4 sought after brands and 1 chavvy brand...

he couldn't say which one was the chavvy one because his boss was in ear shot but he did say that it was linked to Bavarian Motor Works... wasn't sure what he meant but retorted, it must be the M5 because everyone knows council estate drug dealers drive them

[bbigman2000]

I do sympathise with your having to attend such backstreet finance houses in order to try and put yourself into a car John, Hopefully one day you will pull yourself off the breadline and be able to afford the things you purchase!

You are right, I cannot afford a car in this category.

So if you got it after 18 months, you got it for approx 30K, I assume ?

Houses come first Bigman, with my brother I rent out houses in the London and SE area where I lived for 12 years. Bought some wrecks in 1993-95 when prices were depressed and renovated them myself.

If I sold them all, I'd be able to afford ALL of those cars on my spilt.

Are you an old man? I was still in full-time education in 1995

It must have been dribbling equal opportunities week?

[John Mc]

35... not that old... I bought some student places first when I was in Uni with my Brother... the "empire" just grew because you could buy 2-3 bed houses for 40-50k at the time (2k deposit on them @ 95% mortgage!) and prices rose fast from 96-2001. We put the deposits on a credit card and bought 4 at once big risk but turned out well..

Once we graduated, we sold a few and bought private housing in better areas around Sussex and Surrey but kept a few student places but tbh they are a lot of hassle with the regulations and we got rid. Now is a good time to be investing again because you can get some real bargains in the reposession market.

[John Mc]

Most of the properties we bought looked as though they had a fooking hammer put through them

[WR1 Bro]

Fair play to you.

[bbigman2000]

Swede, I paid £42500 for it.
