It's probably like most things in Ibiza: it only gets going at night!  |

Hope it has air-con!

As a 'courtesy car' I was given a Vauxhall Crossland X.
Horrible, horrible thing, there is no courtesy involved …
It has all the handling of a kid's dinghy in the North Sea - I'm not suggesting it's hazardous but take a corner too fast and you might end up in another continent. As for the gearbox and controls they must must have been designed by Prof Von Krakkhead and test driven by an ageing syphilitic monkey with peripheral neuropathy.
The only good thing about it was the joy of returning it.

It's doubly worrying, then, that cars like this pass through customer improvement clinics. If that's what the public wants for handling and ride quality, it's no wonder that visual taste goes out the window, too.
What other reason could there be for the Nissan Juke to exist?

Load space was so bad the boss's 9-5 Saab saloon took more stuff Junior management's taste in motors takes some believing Just when I think they have something half way good they change it again They have spent £1000s over the past few years changing motors. 2nd handaround 2-3 years old usually |

I don't understand the thinking behind people who do that - hideous waste of money IMO.

I'm taking my car for its 70k service tomorrow (I've actually done 72k miles).
I can't believe I bought it with 2k miles on the clock in Feb 2018.

Go for it! Drive it with pride in a few years' time among all the battery cars  |

Must try and remember the cars they have had - or do I want to forget The Quashkai was a joke as that was, I believe for its carrying capacity - which it doesn't have Petrol and diesel more or less alternate with each change Different make each change The car sales guys must love it when they come in |

We had another GT86 / BRZ car meeting yesterday at Blackbushe Airport in the glorious sunshine. A nice turnout of about 12 cars plus one special guest. One of our members sold her GT86 and two of her superbikes and bought this car on Friday. This is one of the two most venerated supercars from Japan: a Nissan GT-R (the other is the Lexus LFA). It's a 2012 model and is an absolute beast (you can see how much longer it is compared with our cars). The engine is a 3.8l V6 twin-turbo and this one is tuned for 600bhp. She paid around £40k for it, which is the going rate. Epic car!  I doubt I will ever have one of these but I can dream. I certainly have more chance than I do of ever owning a Lexus LFA, possibly the most desirable car ever created. |

Absolutely epic - I like the body shape. Must be a lot of fun to drive.
