3.2's really, really are shite on fuel given their size.

JoshW had a 4.2 V8 Jag XJ for a while, that did almost identical MPG to what I get from my 3.2.

Bought new, the SL65 AMG would cost £170,000 -  Mr Guest bought his car in 2010 for £40,000 and has spent £30,000 on maintaining it

OMG, you would have to be barking to pay that for a Stuttgart taxi!

You can get an Aston for less!

Agreed. The owner paid only £40,000 for the car when It was 4 years old.

Don't you just love depreciation?.... :)

£40k? I'd spend that on this if I wanted a fast V8..

Too chav-tastic the VXR8 really, not very nice to look at either, inside or out.

The Monaro and VXR8 hold their value surprisingly well for a Vx product. Much better than my CLS.

Thats probably because the engine and gearbox from a Monaro can command prices around 5K on thier own.

Yes, if this business thing goes well I may just treat myself one day ::)

Do tell  :y

Actually been meaning to ask you since we are close-ish neighbours now, do you still do Crayfish trapping? I intend to build a BBQ at some point, that and some beers in the summer would go down well  :y

Same here, I am waiting for a gap in the weather to slap a few bricks down for a bbq.  I did do any trapping last year, I was too busy.  I may do some this year which reminds me I need to get my permit renewed :y
