Cars for the people

It probably ended up being about $20,000, once final bid was in.

Reckon I spotted a sleeper future gem today…not a popular vehicle

Check out the new Kia K4.

Really smooth looking fastback sedan.

You wanna catch one in the flesh one of the better looking cars I’ve seen at any price point lately.

Tasty. The hatchback is also a handsome beast. I also like the look of the KIA EV6.

lol saw this on marketplace:

Dad, I’ve just left work and the car is making a horrible sound!!

About three inches of end float in the water pump bearing / shaft and coolant all over the road will do that, yeah.

She did have the good sense to shut it down and not cook the engine, so she’s done well there.

Guess what I’m now doing this weekend :man_facepalming:

Needs a gear box and RWD or AWD to really reach classic status.

The Stinger was oh so close.

Like this? Pick it up on Friday. I’ve been hanging for a RWD straight 6 for years

Noice. 435i ? 3L turbo with the manual 6 speed?

Almost got it. Unfortunately the Gran Coupe doesn’t come in manual. Plan is to keep this for a few years then upgrade to a manual M2

Yeah it’s not perfect. I wouldn’t buy one with the currenr drivetrain in it either. The Hyundai i30 hybrid engine is coming to it though.

But geez they have nailed the styling imho. Even that’s not perfect but it looks better than any other reasonably priced vehicle in the last little while.(eye of the beholder and all)

The lines are so good in the flesh.

Ahh, I never realized that.

My personal preference for a classic BMW is a naturally aspirated 6 and manual box , but the Gran Coupe does look fantastic.

Yeah I’d have liked manual too but the practicality of the Gran Coupe gets it over the line. 8 speed ZF with flappy paddles is a decent compromise.

Nice.

Whilst rescuing Miss Saladin’s Swift yesterday, I did espy a Renault Fuego parked on the side of the road. I don’t recall the last time I’d seen one ! In truth, it was looking rather dilapidated.

Been an absolute shitfight just getting the old one out. Reinstating is gonna be a challenge…

Not impressed with new cars these days. They have too many gadgets.

I tried to reverse and it played a video of somebody getting run over by a car.

Supra going out in style.

pretty ugly, but it will become an icon.

Always hated the rear tbh, was pining for the new gen massively but it put me right off.. ended up with a euro instead
