When you've got your girl on your bike, don't crash. But when inevitably you do, the golden rule is to pick up your girl before you pick up your bike.

good eyes mate

was only run by a Greek dealer I think.

dad of the decade for sure! something similar is going on in my family where my stepdad is restoring a car for each one of his kids to leave behind as a legacy. So far he's done full restos on a 1928 Dodge Victory and a 1938 Dodge 8. My hopes are to buy and tow a '69 Challenger wreck to his driveway and spend a few…

if anyone here has been to Morocco, Tunisia, or any Northern Africa country they can attest alongside me that 3/5 cars is a 240D Merc. Cabs, civilian cars, government cars, they're all 240Ds!! Indestructible and easy to fix but hella slow fo sho!

while I feel your pain, I'm happy that the solution to all this is simply to opt for a manual.

love white ferraris. I saw Chris Evan's collection at the Goodwood FoS a few years back. Mesmerizing!

perfect 8 series

dupont registry used that exact pic for years and years in one of their ads. epic.

When a more exclusive model comes out with new stickers, you can bet that people with the 'stock' car will add those stickers. Just look at all the regular Porsches with GT3 RS stickers.

yup.

that looks like one tiny car. Alonso is small and look at him struggle to get in.

neither was this one, so you're in luck

The Countryman is epic actually. Really great fun to drive, and I've driven almost every MINI iteration on sale - including 2012 JCW offerings! Try a Countryman Cooper S with a stick shift. That's all you'll need! Trust me, great fun!

Thanks to today's thread I now want a Ferrari 308, Iso Grifo, Alfa 159 Sportwagon, Stratos, and Lancia Delta more than ever. I'll be moving back to Europe now to go purchase my bargain used 159 Alfa. By now.

that picture is wow.

When I lived in Belgium my local Opel dealer had an Izo Grifo in the showroom. Grey on black. Such a gorgeous car. Turned out he was a big collector of Italian cars (also had a 3200GT Maser).

How many Euros for a second hand one?

ouch. sorry to hear. tell me more? What exactly kept failing?

if I were to move back to Europe I'd pick up a 159 Estate in a split second. They're cheap and sex on wheels. Even the interiors are so typically Alfa and aswesome. Plus their JTD diesels aren't terrible.
