This thread has got me thinking and am now going to find a bangornomics motor to leave in Dublin, budget will be very low
Triple whammy phaeton
Trade sale
Limp mode
Motorhub of keighley , if they're selling it cheap it must be utterly ******

Reminds me of the Beastie Boys.VW Phaeton , needs a bit of de-chavving , or maybe just buy a baseball cap and put it on backwards

This is CatmanV2 with every suggestion so far....
This thread has got me thinking and am now going to find a bangornomics motor to leave in Dublin, budget will be very low
2001 BMW 325i, 87k on clock, MOT last October no advisory.......£950.....That low enough.
Exactly the sort of thing I am looking for
Assuming go for 1) What do I replace the GT with? My personal fave currently is a Jag XF. Whatever suggested needs to be:
Fast (at least in a straight line)
Pretty imposing
Not so bad on the running costs
ComfortableC
Fast in a straight line , check
Comfortable , check
Not so bad on the running costs X
Pretty Imposing , oh yes
It's a bit over budget but let's face it , there's not going to be any bids so a deal to be done

That reminds me of the A-Team van.
Hi COK. It's almost certainly been asked before, and I doubt I'll get clarity but here goes:
Looks like I'll be hammering up and down to Nottingham rather more than I anticipated. It's only 125 miles each way but the traffic can be rubbish and we're looking at 2h30m each way. Without traffic. Thursday / Friday was 5.5h in the car. Add a trip to Luton today and it's more like 7 hours driving in 3 days.
Apart from anything else the fuel costs are distinctly unpleasant.
My target is still to be in an MC or Strad before August 2020.
If I'm honest I'm not going to do anything until I know what my new package (oooerr) is but I see a few options:
1) Re-spray and fettle the GT and sell (roughly 18k) to clear the finance an buy something cheaper
2) Plough money into the GT and run it into the ground.
3) Anything?

QPV fits 1 and 2, and maybe 4
Audi perhaps?
Not massively keen on BMW or Mercs but...
I throw myself on the mercy of the forum.
