I travelled around Europe two years ago and didn't use my camera enough. I guess I'll have to have another go at it.
The two SL55 AMGs were standing outside the Casino in Monte Carlo.


This coupé was parked at Zandvoort race track in Holland. A british Ferrari club had a meeting there.


These were at the Ferrari meeting.


This is a DTM-MB that was testing at Lausitzring in Germany.

Keep us updated! Just hope that VW fixed their reliability problems
I've test driven the new VW Golf Mark V last week. Was a bit disappointed when the 1.6 FSI model wasn't available for test drive so they given me a TDI model instead. But this diesel model is simply amazing. It pulls so well, it almost shove me to the back of the seat. 140ps and 320nm of torque n it comes with a six speed manual gearbox. The new Golf is better than the outgoing model. The handling is sharper, steering has a better feel and the comfort has improved. But it feels lighter and not as solid as the previous model. It also feels slightly flimsy in certain areas. Juz hope realiablity has improved over the previous model then.

Interesting. I think that it's the TDi we'll get (140HP). Big improvement over the current 90HP one!

So do you think it was good enough to get it over the 3?

It was way above the 3 in terms of driving experience. But the cost is too high.
12,000 pounds for the Mazda and 18,000 for this TDi model, 16,000 for the 1.6 FSI. Will be trying the Peugeot 307 and the Renault Megane this week and try to make a choice. Waiting for the new Astra to arrive as well.

Yep, its a BMW 2002... one of my absolute all time favourite cars. You can find the desktop at http://216.117.199.231/BMW-Classics/...assics-031.JPG

I found it on a site called Dieselstation. It's probably the best source for high resolution vehicle photos I've ever seen.

Check it out at http://www.dieselstation.com/

Nah..Renault's Clio direct competitor would be the Peugeot 206 as both have smaller engines and smaller car sizes.
