i must be odd, i like the looks of the car from all angles, shame it had to be driven by such a cock, obviously his new Audi has not been dilivered yet
I'm kind of the same.

It's right but for all the wrong reasons.

Alpina ones are driven by men in crisp white shirts.

"...this car comes past like I had stamped on the brakes, M6 on the boot, are they really that fast?
he nearly stuffed it into the back of the car 10 lengths in front, had the back end squirming and luckily the car in front had the room and sense to move over as the gap became available, it could have been very bad, why do people drive at speed up to cars?"

That seems to be extremely typical of drivers of that sort of car.

Probably as a result of more disposable income than IQ or ability.

But then I suppose an intelligent driving enthusiast would have bought a 911 or something worthy instead.

Again!!


The beemer is an auto-boxed, front engined V10 that does 200mph unrestricted! 2nd hand values are similar to prices of e90 M3s.

I personally think that if you can stand the looks and image issues of the M6 it is a bit of performance bargain. The 911s available in that price range would be a rather dull or old and agricultural.

BMW owners are the worst drivers - well according to 1000 people survey

Nothing quite like confirming something everyone already knows

However those Audi folk are trying their hardest to win this crown

Mostly 6ers & CL-class.

CLs tend merely to be badly-driven, 6ers aggressively badly-driven.

And of course, the little man in the Range Rover Sport. Although oddly, they have either calmed down/been imprisoned, or the RRS had improved its customer base gradually.
