Can't be much better a car out there for covering distance than an XM...

Mrs6C choose the XM but my second choice to the RR would have been the CLK 320 because of the extra punch it has.

Three empty freight cars fell into in the Potomac - oops!!!

I thought that was last week?

21st Dec, but I did not spot it until yesterday. It is a place Mrs6C and I know well and we have walked the Appalachian trail along side the railway hoping a train would cross while we were on the bridge!

When I was in Lansing in 2016 there was some sort of comicon-type event going on in the city and all the central hotels were booked up so I ended up staying in a motel on the outskirts, right by the railway line.  The PAAAAARP PAAAAAARP PARP PAAAAAAAAAAARP of the incoming CSX freight train at 6.30am each morning made an interesting alternative to an alarm clock.

[Zelandeth]

Didn't realise there was a railway line and crossing behind the restaurant we were in up north (think we were a few hours north of Macinac) and when I walked out the door I was greeted by the train that was just approaching the crossing blasting the horn.

I must have got a good few feet of air given how far it made me jump.  Hooooooolly hell they are loud up close...

One of heard is getting ready to leave tomorrow!

Bonnets popped on the VP. Is it having some more love? Or needing some more love?

I thought about taking it to a small show tomorrow at Weedon, but the battery was flat so it is now on charge.

Thinking about timings I will have to take the new swap or it will finish as I get there, although it is a bit young at 18 years old really.

[Stinkwheel]

Swapped!

Even better, anything interesting?

Emergency Tat update!

Hold the front page!

Yes it is true, me and the green AX have slit up and I have a new love in my life!

[bangernomics]

That’s a very good exchange, that 306 is a lovely looking thing.

Very jealous... 

I didn’t realise how much I wanted this until it was too late. Can I call first dibs if ever you part with it (which is unlikely granted)... please...

Does this mean the car chases, drive-by shootings, drifting and general violence as he carries out his quest to find Eleanor will stop now?

The people of Milton Keynes will be pleased!

As usual no plan so maybe, but not yet!

[beko1987]

I've always quite liked them. Partly because their simple underneath to maintain, and they are nice inside!

My only experience of one is when @messerschmitt owner popped into my mums for a fluid/stop up the road after buying his! Eva liked it

[loserone]

I really liked it, still having pangs of regret but pretty sure I'll have another one day.

Exactly, he’s swapped bertone for pininfarina.
