AutoScheiße, Tellygaff-style

[forddeliveryboy]

I thought this was a nicely-written article which should appeal to most of us on here - even though it's a Bavarian Car Works machine. I think Alex Robbins is suggesting that modern stuff has become idiot-proof and in the process has lost its beauty and works best for idiots.

I have just tweeted said chap to say good job-i like the balanced approach to review:)

Invite him on here while you're tweeting.

When he writes new cars are shit and old ones are good, he is congratulated for a good job.

I'm doing this since 1986 and all I get is being called a backward giffer who refuses to accept "progress".

[forddeliveryboy]

Shall we all tweet you to say you're ahead of your time?

I've only had twitter since 2014;)

 

progress is not always progress, nor is it always good

[Junkman]

There hasn't been any progress since the WC was invented.

That article reminded me the modern* 6 Series even exists, one of these has potential as Mrs N's new daily driver now she's bored with the Gaylander.

I always think these look , from certain angles,if you squint,in the dark, a bit like a Virage (albeit with an ugly carbuncle,where the boot lid should be) more economical than our 2.2 6 speed manual dizzler too!

Those 2005 + 6 series are pretty shit I recon. Nice engines and all that but it'll probably end it's days in a puff of electrical smoke and flashing dash warnings. That  Chris Spangle generation of BMW's is far from their finest hour.

The new ones look nice. The old e24's are lovely. I know they're meant to be a GT cruisers but it's still a pity so many are lumbered with the auto. I had an m535i with the autobox and it ruined it.

He's writing on the wrong forum. Needs to go up in the world a little, he writes well enough to be on here.

[cobblers]

He's a good lad is alex. I used to have him on MSN Messenger back in the day. I think we met on the Fiestaturbo.com forums about 13 years ago or something like that!
