PMSL! My fleet:
Subaru 1.5R(fully laden) - £70 for 250 miles (and that's really crap, yes?)
'Reginald' the Runabout Rover 214 - £42 for 260 miles
'Rocky' the Racing Rover Tomcat - £230 for 200 miles
Best not enter Rocky in le Mans, I guess

Unfortunately, I do.
Spent too much time in the US and driven too many of their cars.
They're OK for a few days, just for a laugh. But after a few days I cannot live with the build quality or handling anymore or the lack of having an engine that goes to 7500rpm

There are some bargain Phaetons out there. The high engine specs V10 and W12 are few and far between though.

We do the Pre '93 Touring Car Championship, with Tom Dunstan driving as part of team GCR, which is owned by our very own Robin Sherwood.

I guess it depends what you consider to be a reasonable price.

True, some are way overpriced, esp. when you compare to prices in Germany.
I'd defo consider the V8 though. Engine made a great sound (better than W12) and reasonably fast (in the end, it's not a sportscar. For that you got your scoob).

Houdini, thanks nice one.
Swede, no, but I considered an S6 which is the sporty Audi equivalent to the M5 and has the 5.2 V10 in it, and they are the right money just now, 30 - 40k.

Yeh mate, its the one down from the new RS6 its the S6 and its about 500 bhp from the V10 I assume out of the gallardo, just slightly de tuned.
Saloon only I think, not quite as sports set up as the M5 though, but Big, comfy and fast.

It's a V10 and out of the Gallardo? Is that the Lambo ?
How did they come to that ? That's an engine that normally sits behind in a car. Does it also sit behind in the Audi ?

No idea mate, no the engines upfront in the S6, and yes its out of the gallardo, which is also similar to the RS6 engine, which has two turbos bolted on aswell which gives 572bhp
The S6 is a heck of a car for a big autobhan cruiser.

Don't big him up...
He is dangerous, irresponsible and incredibly unstable...
He is a bad advert for any sensible and enthusiast based car club.
Plus..... he is a foreign deviant.
