The Benteyga is a nice car mind.

Two folk I know have them, they’re stunning. One of them has ordered a Cullinon as well, which will be a bag of ****.

Same here, they were heavily discounting them about a year ago and in that segment they looked decent value. Once I’d had a ride in one I sort of got it, but wouldn’t be for me.

Saw the most beautiful cortina last week. Was on a y plate. Lovely.

My old man had a Granada on a d plate. 3ltr petrol. Was ace.

Guy I worked with in the 80’s and 90’s had an RS Cosworth. Great big **** off tea tray on the back.

Apparently, they’re collectors cars now.

If I wanted to invest serious money in a car I doubt I’d look for anything new or even new-ish.

I’d probably go for a mid 90’s 911 Turbo or a classic Ford.
 
Lancia Delta Stradale will set you back around £500k if you ever found one at auction.

I wonder how much they cost originally.

Invest being the key word, new cars are money pits really, but a classic can appreciate if you pick the right one.

I’ve toyed with the idea of buying a mid 2000’s DB9 because I love them and I think they’ll go on to be a classic in the future. Just seems a frivolous thing to do though, so I’ve talked myself out of it a few times.

I’ve been saving up for a 2013 jag xk v8. They will be a collector. Any v8 will be to be honest.

I almost bought an Evo VI Makkinen Edition, the best evo ever imo. They’ll be real collectors items. I think I’d just abuse that cat though, those were made to be thrashed not put in some showroom for people to stare at.

A Swiss guy I worked with always had those. One false move, especially in the wet, and you’re picking pieces of brick out of your teeth.

Unstickable in the dry, if they’re treated with respect. Lethal in the wet.

Awesome cars. My Canadian mate never shuts up about his so I’m gonna have a whip when I go see him next year.
