That'll shift if it has a V8 in it

 

[magnus911]

No, not a Lotus Esprit..

 

[waring192]

Unless it has the prancing horse on the bonnet, I'm not interested

Hi Magnus

Is it a Massey Ferguson. 465N with trench bucket ?

Be more specific! but yes, you'd be interested

Hi Magnus

Sorry Sally, it's not

 

[N8]

F430?

 

[magnus911]

F430?

No, the preceding model...

430 would have been amazing but the bank manager wouldn't have allowed it methinks...

 

[markwiggy]

Is it a Ferrari 360

Very very nice, no wonder you're excited!

Good choice mate. Let us know what you think of it when it arrives (and some pics please!)

 

[magnus911]

For sure! Was looking for about 3 months so quite confident about the choice...will post some pics on Wednesday!

 

[Jamiekip]

Jeeeeesus Magnus.... nice step up

 

[magnus911]

Jeeeeesus Magnus.... nice step up

thanks man; you too; I was anxious for a change like you and have tried to go for something a bit special but at the same time sensible...I'll let you know how that works out!

Anyway, let me know when you're in town and we'll catch up...

Where abouts did you move to>?

 

[warren_S5]

Holy moly, my fingers are crossed for you that you have trouble free motoring, have you seen the running costs!!!

What an amazing change!

 

[markwiggy]

Look forward to the pics, fab car. What colour did you go for??

Good luck

Mark

 

[JonRola]

I bet it's really a Morris Minor......lol...:sign_omg:

 

[magnus911]

Good luck

Nurburgring silver with the Bordeaux (red) leather...it's a nice contrast. I didn't want red or yellow...considered black but happy with silver.

Running costs for sure willl be higher than the S3 but the depcreciation will be less. Swings and roundabouts!

 

[N8]

A guy has a 360 who lives in my apartment block, sounds mental when he starts it up!

 

[S3 Rav]

Can't wait for the pics.

 

[magnus911]

Can't wait for the pics.

Picking up this afternoon!

Pics will follow..

 

[N8]

Any luck with pics?

 

[Jamiekip]

Too busy posing lol

 

[N8]

lmfao. Ur pic Jamie in ur sig! Update your avatar now

 

[magnus911]

Ok, so I picked it up yesterday in Kent, had a mindblowing journey back to the flat...

I've had to come into the office this morning until 11am but I've left the camera charging at home so will get some pics up at midday.

It's awesome though. Thoroughly awesome. Doesn't even redline until 8500RPM. I mean sweet jesus.

 

[N8]

Hate you

 

[Matt]

I'd be like a kid at Christmas in one of those! Is it actually possible to cruise along in one? I would imagine I'd be giving it maximum attack when ever possible :icon_thumright:

 

[Boydie]

Snazzy upgrade indeed!! I hope my car ownership goes upwards like that lol
