The number of times I get tempted while watching one of his videos to say "ah screw it, I'll buy an old classic BMW". Fortunately afterwards sense prevails.

Not sure what classic means to you, but for me that would be the 2002 tii.

For the 20 somethings everything from since the 90s is a classic car.


I was tempted to buy a 635 CSI in the early 2000s nobody wanted them, should have done it back then was about 7000 €....now its up to
50.000 €

But I had no garage to store it for the future, and it guzzled too much fuel for daily commuting.

RR Wraith , Nicest looking modern RR I've seen thus far better than the Phantom in Red i saw a few weeks back ...


Marshmallow white ?

 

[TheKiwi]

That is a very pearlescent white.

 

[Junglejim]

Is it just me or are the RR facia just getting more plasticky. It looks like a car that would come out of China, rather than some elegant grill.

Looks like it's parked on double yellow lines as well - if you took it with a cycle helmet cam the police would be issuing a fine

Thinking about buying the Skoda Enyaq iV but I need the large battery...quite expensive though the Enyaq has a nice price in comparison.

Are they open for orders? In UK most Audi/VW/Skoda electric are not open.

And I am reliably informed that they are easy to break into and steal

At the moment not. The delivery times go up to 2024. But I would buy it used or an ex leasing car a year old or so only. But it seems they cost more used than new.

As said I would need the IV80 but they even sell the IV60 used for over 50k €s.

This one you can get new for 40k in 12 months..

Well if you need a new car you have to search early.
