Yes I always found it ironic that they used that "If only everything in life was reliable as a VW' slogan for years (and actually made people believe it!) when everyone I know who's ever had a Golf has had quite a bit of trouble with it.
I guess it's the Trump tactic of 'if you lie hard enough people will just believe it'.
The Golf II I had was as reliable as can be and tugh as nails. I remember hitting a curbstone at 70Kph full front (bad weather had made it look like a puddle instead of a 10cm curb) with three passengers. Car didn't have a scratch. If I'd done that with one of the later clio's I'd have had to pick them up in a thousand pieces.
The new record is now 26 hours and 38 minutes. The winner used an Audi A8 with large marine fuel tanks strapped into the trunk.
For those who don't know, the Cannonball Run starts at the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan and crosses the United States of America to finish at the Portofini Inn in Redondo Beach, California. For further details, please consult the late Burt Reynolds or a man who calls himself Roger Moore but is really Seymour Goldfarb, Jr.
That was lovely. Thank you.
Definitely, yes.
What I do find quite funny is that they're more expensive to buy than an actual screen-used Goldfinger car!
I guess there's fewer of them around though!
Or pop it on a lorry and take it to a car show...does seem kind of a shame that you can't whack it round the Furka Pass though!
:)
Yeah, I won't bother feeling too sorry for them!
And regarding your recent purchase (see the James Bond Diecast Cars thread) you might enjoy this (drop in at 11:25):
Oh dear.
I think it's a bit better than the current 4 series for that, which really is very muscly looking, but the angry front lights are a bit silly, yeah. I wish everyone would stop doing big aggressive-looking cars and bring back a bit more style and elegance. I have an old BMW too- the original Z4 coupe, and that's really aged well (despite being hated at the time!) and has a bit of prettiness as well as power to its looks. And doesn't have silly angry eyes!
:D
I've said it before, but I hate that Aston Martin have gone this way with their design. The only one that worked was the DB10, and they didn't build that!
Even though I think Clarkson is a certified cock, that was an interesting watch. Another BL car that I absolutely love the look of, the Triumph TR-7.
Yeah, regarding the grill, my Mx5 suffers from the same. The license plate just right in the centre covers it all. A crying shame. At least Alfa Romeo works that out by placing it to the side. And those side air vents in the M440i spoil it all as well, as you say, they make it look far too busy.
Some countries are getting a regular, non-M version which has a slightly simpler front end:
