Our Cars (dream or actual)

I don't mean to interrupt this fine bit of thread about Morgans. But I thought you fellas might like to see my 1972 Rover Defender III. I'm the third owner. The original shipped the truck from Britain to the France, was driven to the boot of Italy, and then driven from Morocco to the Cape and back. It was sold to a woman in Pennsylvania who collects old Rovers. I bought it from her. Here's the moneyshot so you can see the names of countries, many of which are now otherwise-named, painted on the side. It was horned by a rhino–-documented---and that blow is on the other side. I drive it a few times each summer just to scare the neighbors and my wife.

A while back, roughly a year into my apprenticeship, and a year following my divorce, I needed a more reliable and economical vehicle. I like hatches. So, I settled on a base model Veloster. Although, it was quite, shall we say, under-powered, it had a 6-speed manual and was pretty fun to drive. It grew on me. Recently, after years of trying to get more out of her than she was able to give, that 6-speed gave out.
The repairs were going to cost nearly the value of the car. I wasn't having any of that. So, it was time for another, with a bit more power, this time. In my heart, I sooooo wanted the Veloster N. But, with a daughter reaching her teen years, and the need for a daily commuter, I felt something a little more practical was in order. I went with the fully loaded Turbo Ultimate. All the creature comforts, and a 7-speed DCT automatic(with paddles). Not quite the hot hatch the N is, but fun nonetheless. My new whip…..

This is a hard choice for me. The Zed 06 is paid for the leased S4 is 640.00 a month. I give it back in July…..one less decision in morning after that .

OK. Made my decision. in part massively influenced by the fact that it is being end-of-lifed, so BMW are offering dealers massive incentives, so leasing one is super cheap. It's also as fast as a stock 911 to 0-60mph….
this i like…
3 or 5 door? please tell me you've got the f20 version that is the 6 and RWD.... actually this might be a keeper since it is the last of the RWD variants too -
^can't go wrong with that combo. will not be as quick as the e63amg but this is much more engaging!

this is going on tomorrow. the front at least. i had to leave the rears in singapore because my luggage allowance wouldn't let me take the rears back..
No, my 4/4 is working pretty well. It's the successor of the Plus 8, even Morgan has to keep up with the times.
