Can you believe they made a 750 version of that? Didnt the organ donor scheme start around that time? Mad as a bottle of fish!

At the age of 17 I had the pleasure of driving my Dads 1972 BMW 2500 ( Iwas a learner at that).  Awsome car and I think the reason for my love of big cars.

We had a stunning 535i at work a few years later, the owners son Changed the exhuast to a Large single centre pipe, from dual centre, and had the 6-2-1 system, stage 3 heads etc etc.  To me personally that wat the last Beemer I fell in love with, all the more modern ones do nothing for me.

I have had allsorts of cars, including those in my profile, I had an XJ6, Daimler Sovereign, Granada 3.0, 2.0 Cavalier, 4 door, coupe and Sports hatch, Rally chevette, Hillman Imp, the list goes on.

My love I feel is the big car feel, that can hold it's own in a straight line drag and not too embarasing on the bends.  The Miggy fills all the squares for that.

If they dont replace it with a RWD, then I dont think a VXR is for me, so the 300C is probably the most likely to replace the Miggy in time to come.  the 5.7 V8 would be nice, but me thinks it might be my very 1st Tractor.

Time will tell.

So far, we have.
Insignia 4by4
Monaro
VXR8 (now your talking)
Poogo 407(very accurate French pronounceation)
Alpha147
Audi A4 Quatro
Audi A6
Audi A8
Holden Comaro
Subaru legacy
BMW M3
BMW M5 v10 estate
S type JAG
Lexus is 200/300
Lexus gs 300/LS400
Chrysler 300c
VW Phaeton
jaguar xf
Mustang.
Rover 75(with full Hyacinth Bucket interior/bodykit)
Prius
Mk3 savage cortina
Skoda vrs
Astra (Aye?)
Dolomite sprint. (fantastic once)
Espace diesel. (really?)

VXR8 seems most popular, along with some Audis and Lexus. I suspect it will probably be a VXR8 as i imagine it will depreciate quickley enough to be a good second hand buy. BUT... the Phaeton has all the toys and luxury, trouble there is its massive and not to sporty. Now the v10 howl of the BMW m5 and the toys and the sport handling in an estate, Maybe that will have it all? It will never be cheap enough, i bet. Also there is something about BMW that bothers me, cant find the word...righteous is it? Would have to check the A8 out before deciding tho. Hell of a list by the way. Cheers
