Should there be an automotive thread?

Garda_Sean_Horgan · September 17, 2009, 1:57pm

Being men (sorry clg and mgg) between 20 and 60 (sorry kev and boxty) is there room here for a thread on cars/bikes/engines etc etc?
I see a new BMW 1.3 litre diesal out with 800 Nm of torque and nearly 400 BHP. (it’s a concept of course).
There is the new 458 Ferrari and the new 4door porsche.

If the vote for yes gets to 20 then I’ll set it up.

Yours etc,
GSH.

I must say Juventus went up in my estimations last night when I saw they were sponsored by New Holland

And the luas and buses are for junkies and sewer dwellers.

Can we talk about combine harvesters and 20 foot headers?

Pikeman · September 17, 2009, 2:14pm

What do you drive yourself GSH? (Apart from the Ferrari 458 which I assume is your weekend car)

An E60? Right I’m not telling anyone what I drive then until I upgrade.

Pikeman · September 17, 2009, 2:45pm

myboyblue · September 17, 2009, 2:46pm
