Seen an M4 today and thought it was tidy until I seen a Guilia Quadrifoglio about ten minutes later. Those things look and sound amazing.

I saw one of the new Honda NSXs the other day and pictures really don't do it justice. I was unsure on them, but they have serious presence in the flesh.

I think you'll find it's that.
Paedo-mobile right there. Which reminds me, where is @Magic? Don't think I've seen him post much lately.
Shame that none of it goes to you.
Good to know you're doing well MATE.
Jk.
Contemplating suicide.
I'm in the market for a car.
Any crappy runaround will do, not bothered about much beyond it having 5 doors and being manual.
What's wrong with this one?

Do you need a big saloon?
EDIT: That's a real good price.

What's good
Neatly styled.
Comfortable and easy to drive.
Economical diesel engines.
Awarded 5 Star NCAP safety rating: 90% Adult Protection, 87% Child Protection, 41% Pedestrian Protection and 97% Safety Assist, total average 79%.
What to watch out for
Interior build-quality could be better.
When opening the boot lid of the saloon in the rain the rainwater on the trunk lid is deposited into the trunk.
Navigation doesn't accept full UK post codes
13-11-2012: Report of blocked Diesel Particulate Filter on 2011 Peugeot 508 1.6 eHDi FAP Active costing 213 for a forced regeneration.
16-11-2012: Report of clutch or DMF failure on 18 month old, 28k mile 508 2.0 HDi. Peugeot paid for the repair.
31-12-2012: 'Gong' sound means that car battery is failing to hold sufficient charge and needs to be replaced.
20-1-2013: Report of 1.6 HDi 115 S&S EGC repeatedly going into limp home mode. Seems that it is very vulnerable to fuelling problems if there is anything wrong with the fuel used. Peugeot advises drivers to avoid supermarket diesel.
27-1-2013: Minor electrical niggles starting to emerge with 508's on the a single fleet are two cases of windscreen wiper motors burning out and several cases of noisy electric boot lock mechanisms that aren't responding to treatment with lubricating oil.
12-4-2013: Leak reported into load area filling wheel well with water. Comes in through the supposedly one way cabin vent flaps between the lower sides of the load area and the rear bumper side valance extensions (hidden by carpet inside the car).
18-2-2014: High wear rate reported for expensive 17-inch Michelin tyres on Peugeot 508 e-HDi.
15-6-2014: Economy figure for Peugeot 508 Active 1.6 e-HDi stop and start EGC 115 4dr Auto re-listed as 115g/km CO2, not 104g/km CO2.
30-8-2015: Front suspension arms of 30k mile 2011 Peugeot 508 2.2 HDI GT required re-bushing to pass MoT (which, economically, meant fitting new suspension arms). The worn bushes had also caused severe wear to the inner shoulders of the front tyres after 6,000 miles and they needed replacing too. This problem may only affect the 2.2 HDI GT that has different suspension from the rest of the 505 range.
29-11-2015: Owner of 72k mile 2011 Peugeot 508 1.6HDI reported engine failure due to a diagnosed electrical short circuit in the no 1 injector. Peugeot dealer advised it was impossible to purchase a simple single injector replacement, as Peugeot no longer supplied these original engine parts, and stated that the car had to have a full service kit fitted to it, which included 4 new injectors , fuel pipework and new electronics + a software download. 'Goodwill' from Peugeot was refused.
18-8-2016: Report of camshaft of 2011 Peugeot 1.6 diesel 508 SW failing at 78k miles. Quoted £5k for new engine: more than the car is worth, but a common engine so can be replaced much more cheaply. No contribution offered from Peugeot.
30-9-2016: Report of Peugeot 508 diesel suffering a dual mass flywheel failure at 3 years and 5 months old resulting in a £1,600 bill for new DMF and clutch.
28-3-2017: Report of one rear damper failing on Peugeot 508 RXE at 46k miles. Replaced under warranty.
6-7-2018: Report of failure of actuator of EGC on 2011 Peugeot 508 1.6 diesel e-hdi semi auto.
Honestly no. Our other car is a Fiesta but it does the job in regards to fitting two adults and a [rather large] car seat. I just linked that cos it was the first one I looked at.
Cars seem cheaper than I thought. Like this looks the business.
I'd be doing the finance option (at the bottom of the page) with a £500 deposit, 6000 annual miles and then anything upto £125 a month. Can I really get a BMW for £82 a month? Doesn't seem right.
Edit: I want this.

Despite fitting in the boot of our Fiesta, I tried putting the pram into my brother-in-laws Polo and it didn’t fit. It wasn’t wide enough. Was surprised.
Don’t suppose anyone knows if a Fabia or an i20 is a bit wider than a Polo?
I'm a twit
Google the specs, or they should be listed on autotrader.
The 2018 NSX's look fucking tragic.
That must be a massive pram, Baz.
Stick the kid in the boot and put the pram on the back seat.
The boot on a civic is huge
Shame it’s on the arse of a Civic.
Driving to Catterick tomorrow and hoping to nip to at least one of the DM Keith dealerships in either Huddersfield, Wakefield or Leeds on the way. Leeds is probably most likely because I like the look of this Fabia estate, purely because it's a tiny bit smaller than this Rapid Spaceback in Wakefield. 4247 mm vs 4304 mm length only so not really much in it, but could be the difference between fitting two cars on the drive and not.
The Leeds dealership also has 2 regular Fabias - in grey and in green - too so can see how the pram goes in them.
Huddersfield has another Rapid Spaceback but I don't like the different coloured roof, so probably won't bother with that.
Actually I've just checked the Leeds dealership has 2 Rapid Spacebacks in (one diesel and one automatic, no thanks) so I'll probably just go to that one so I can at last gauge the size of all three cars in one place.

Spent the day at Watkins Glen today. What a track that is.
Pocono Raceway yesterday was much less interesting.

Nice wagon.
It was really great. All I knew is that it was in the middle of nowhere, that it was historic, and that it had some decent elevation changes. All of that was right, but it is also at the top of a hill, so there are some really nice views, plus it has a lovely flow to it. The walls are right next to the tarmac though, so as you say, not good for fast open wheelers.
A bloody GT3RS was holding me and my mighty Fiat for like three laps (you're not allowed to pass until you get a point-by.) That must have been embarrassing. Eventually he surrendered and he quickly disappeared in my mirrors.
Got a nice rear ending this morning.
Car crash also
Sounds painful. It sounds like your neck and back are injured on a serious level.
That is an outright lie. You must have concussion.

Ah Franny Walsh, only guy to be in a car accident and come out with improved brain functionality.
I need a boot lid, a rear bumper and lights. Not too bad all in all.
$1000+ job over here.
Probably over double that here, I'd say the painting will be over €1000 alone. His insurance will be paying anyways.
How much of a dickhead am I gonna look driving this?
I'm a twit
What's wrong with it?
It looks like a Transformer hiding as a panda.
Clutch has gone on my 17 plate ST after 16k miles. Awaiting Bristol Street trying to do a dance over the warranty.
Should have got a 13 plate transforming panda instead mate.
I'm a twit
After a year and 16k miles I'd be wanting that under warranty for sure.
I just changed mine on the Clio at 104k miles and 15 years old. It wasn't even needing done but the gearbox was out anyway so it was daft not to.
The clutch is a wear item. I'd be surprised if it is warrantied. Should last much longer than that, of course, so maybe he'll get lucky.
Well, there you have it.

The black ones better innit?
EDIT: Apparently you have to declare the bonnet vents to the car insurance people as an aftermarket modification so sack that off. White one is a nighttime convertible anyway.

Drove my Toyota Avensis for the first time in months today as I had been using the family's 9 seater Ford Tourneo when needed.
It felt like a tiny hatchback compared to the 9 seater. I had forgotten that it can't go back far enough for my legs and that the seat can't be lowered. Completely fucked my neck up
Curse those tiny Japs.

Did your ass manage to fit in all 9 seats?
