I got married about 5 years ago in France (the wife's French) and it's not uncommon to go to a notaire (notary?) to essentially sort out some pre-nupts. Anyway, as part of that I mentioned to the notaire that the classic car I had in my garage (a mini) was mine - not the wifes lol. On that note, he got very interested and started talking cars. My wife was impressed :rolleyes:. After I signed my life away he beckoned me out the back of his office/house to his shed where he showed me his cars: Renault Alpine A110, DeTomaso Pantera and a Lancia Delta HF Integrale. All perfect. All achingly beautiful!

Why are there not more e36 M3's around? Awesome performance, looks and around $30k 2nd hand?!?!

Are they a bit of a vr6 in terms of reliability of parts?

Alot worse lol, well probably better but the engine doesn't feature in any other BMW model so the parts are exclusive to it, exclusive = expensive.

Worth every $ though imo...

And some more French/Chrysler goodness from the Facel Vega!

W108. One of my all time favourites, and this is the ducks pajamas with a 6.3L V8 and a factory 0-100 in the mid 6 second range (yes a 1960's car that would ruffle the feathers of an R32).

I know I keep posting mercs, I'm a VW/VAG fan through and through, but there are some Mercs I'd be tempted by.

There is one in Middle Park that is dumped on its belly - I don't know if it's intentional or if the suspension is buggered. But either way it looks dope! (And I doubt it's the 6.3 V8.)

This got me into Mk1's. I had a Mk4 but I'd love one of these as a project car.
