TDV had some AMG thang before the M4 and I never really got on with it - steering was v light, couldn't reeeeeally feel what it was doing when you floored it. Shittodrive through filds tbh.First.Aspect said:With styling this distinctive, why *wouldn't* BMW devotees buy a Mercedes?
M4 is just sooo planted, solid. Utterly lovely. Just digs in andfucksoff at a million miles and hour
But its horses for courses - Steveo loves his Panzer and he knows what he's talking about, so personal preference time?
but as its you I'll let you off.
tbh, I can't even remember what it was. deffo not some A class. I'm not from Naples you know.....

Any thoughts on the Ferrari Daytona on Top Gear? Seems a bit shite to me. I don’t expect practicality in a car like that but it’s ugly too inside and out.0

I'm with you and MF on having a practical performance car - there's something great about a daily drive that can go and corner like censored off a stick.

I think for me - even if I had the money for something like an R8 unless it was really pocket change something along the lines of a hot hatch would do me. I'm thinking is your R8 going to be more fun than your old Clio and why do you need to go 0-100kmh in just over 3 seconds? Maybe I just don't get it - I end up thinking of the problems - I bet it's expensive to service, could you leave it in Sainsbury's car park and how would I fit the dogs in it?
Anaconda is the same once you get it shifting. Stick 300 bhp more through it and you'll end up in every hedge you could find though....
agree re weird grille but has soooo much potential.
imagine TDLW in that. Stuff of wet dreams.
oh. that is nice. v v v nice. TDLW in that munching on 'scratchings listening to Placebo.

The original Daytona however…. Still one of the best looking cars ever made…

Get one while you still can. That's why I got mine, as I could see which way the wind was blowing. With a bit of TLC it'll last me years.MattFalle said:

Nearly bought this as a second car a couple of days ago - unfortunately hesitated and it's now sold. Just a Panda but the 1.4 100hp version so meant to be quite fun. The other half is using our car more frequently - didn't used to be a problem when we had our daughter's car here too but that's no longer the case. In the spirit of environmentalism if I do get something it'll be one vehicle in one out as the vespa will be sold.

Brakes (and clutches) will actually wear out quickly for Matt in Jersey, but the primary reason is the constant start-stop driving. The 40mph speed limit stops any furious driving in its tracks. In fact, it's the most boring place I've ever driven. Audi not needed!First.Aspect said:

its a 2+2 which is a winner.

Looks aside, can't see the point of a 2+2. In driving terms I couldn't tell the difference between my wagon and the coupe version which is effectively a 2+2. Just means you need another car to do the daily stuff.MattFalle said:its a 2+2 which is a winner.

Agree but TDV fancies one as its smaller than the 4 but can still squeeze two teenage bambini or a hound in the back..

OK fair enough. Consider the V8 Panzer Coupe as an alternative (might have to go nearly new as they're out of production now I think)"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]1

https://evo.co.uk/mercedes/c-class/c63-amg-coupe
Summary:
"The Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupé is, rather predictably, a C-Class coupé stuffed with the 4-litre twin turbocharged V8 that we already know (and love) from the C63 saloon and in dry sump form, from the AMG GT.
That might be a predictable formula but it’s no less enticing for that. With unique bodywork, a wider track and vaguely ludicrous amount of power it’s an AMG hotrod in the traditional sense, only promising more control, delicacy and a greater ability to exploit that mighty motor.
But this golden age of V8 revery is coming to an end with a likely move to a hybrised four-cylinder powertrain for its soon-to-come successor. The current C63 S is not just on borrowed time, but likely to become a future icon we never saw coming. ""I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."
