He’s got a clapped out C230 from about 2005, I bet it hasn’t seen a car wash for over 5 years let alone a main dealer.


I have never owned one of those motors.

I did once own a 1999 CLK 350, as a third motor. When I consolidated my motors down to one, I sold it to a mate.

Bloody good motors, those.

A 5 litre V8. He took me out in it and “booted it” on the A2, bloody thing took off and just when you thought that was it, it went again. I was so frightened I was giggling like a little girl!


I had a BMW 850i that had two power-bands.

It was a beast. It could accelerate from 120 mph to its limit of around 210 mph as though it was still in first gear.

Saw one of the new 8 series at the dealership the other week, just shy of £100,000 for that model, it was one of the performance models, 840 or 850i, full kit, slick car

They also had in a beautiful gloss black M2 with blacked out trim, kit and wheels, that was about £60,000 and I would've taken it over the 8
 
You don’t half talk some **** Kipper wtf 210mph <laugh>

Blah blah blah...

Those cars had a 5 litre V12 engine and around 340 bhp.

Trust me, it was swift.

Some scroats tried to break into it when I had it parked overnight, visiting my mum. They failed, but ****ed up the car door and caused £2,500 damage.

The cheapest tyres for it were £500 each.

That’s more than your car was worth, I bet, Tel. Admit it, one tyre on my car was worth more than your entire jalopy, yeah?
 
****ing Hell. There simply isn’t a single topic that Kips can help himself from jumping in and chatting ****e about. <laugh>

A quick google search reveals that the BMW 850i is a 4.4 litre V8 with a top speed of 155mph

You’d think Kips would check these simple facts before making **** up.

Not really sure why it seems to be heading for a “pissing contest” with HIAG. I don’t own these large engine cars and my favourite mode of transport up until recently (when it finally went to the scrapyard) was a ford connect van, which cost me the grand sum of £500.

That’s the 840i.

I have never known anyone fcuk up as often as you, Pix. It’s a real talent, mate.
 
@Hoddle is a god ...I’m all for a bit “casual ****ing” from time to time, but since your latest return, you seem to be constantly angry?


Meh.

If I wasn’t still in the office I’d be sat in my underpants and casually scratching my bollocks. That’s how not-angry I am.

This’ll end well.

My old Golf was quicker than that old smoker btw.

How Fast Is The BMW M850i?
Clicking that crystal start button prods the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 to life with a snort. A full-throttle launch rewards a 0-60 mph scamper in 3.6 seconds, or so says BMW; forward thrust is so meaty, the limited 155-mph top speed feels obtainable on an entrance ramp.
