Evening All,
Just watching a Sky+ of Sunday's Top Gear and two things really really stood out.
1st, was the appaling Shut-Line Gaps in the bonnet meeting the headlamps. Unbelievable that the "best car in the world" would be so
shockingly finished!
2nd, was that the 250 GTO is genuinely good looking... (and better finished than the BM!)
Thanks... Carry on...
IMHO most cars are better built than a BM
I can't stand beemers past E36s, hideous congealed blobs!
I cant stand them since the 2002 (not a bad car!!)
My dad started restoring a 2002, then my brother came along...
fact. most cars are not built better than bm's
Fact, most cars have working indicators,
Except BMW's

im not sure it is scott? thats the worrying thing!
Its not just me, that have observed that the only courteus BM driver has either borrowed it, or stolen it,
or how do you know your talking to a bmw driver at a party, errr he tells you ?
whats the difference between, god and a bmw driver, ?? god doesnt drive a bmw
Why is it that every chav or non white person drives a BMW cos there black mans wheels
says it all really, there cheap and tacky, over priced, over rated, and over here
what a pile of shite. delete that post! your now saying every non white man drives a BMW?

no-where, why?
Night night to all you BM drivers, perhaps tomorrow, you will find the indicator stalk
...
Not really the direction I thought my post would take!
Not one mention of how gorgeous the 5.6 million pound Ferrari is............
You are all NON car lovers, and just people haters.

i thought cheap and overpriced was an interesting combination...
can't say i noticed the finish on the M5, might go back to it for a look, but yes the ferarri was awesome 
absilutely stunning

I'm not too keen on the new Ferraris, but i do like the old ones, did you see when they tried to put the roof up! haha it didn't even fit xD
Ferrari 250 - gorgeous obviously, but £5m....really, it's just a car.
The M5 looked A-OK to me and would probably be parked on my drive if I had the means. I should imagine they posses that usual solidity that the
Germans seem very adept at.
I wanna know how many times the designer chundered on the paper when designing the Z4!
Sorry if I've mislead anyone, that was not my intention.
I was merely trying to point out the panel fit around the bonnet to the front lights - I didn't even really look at the fit on the rest of the
car - I was watching an archery target video on youtube at the sametime as watching TG at the same time as drawing a hot air baloon for my (2yo) son
and it just really stood out to me when I spent a few seconds glancing at the TV.
I'm not mormally one to point out shortcomings (well, not anymore ), but I was just surprised is all...
Also, the GT roof not fitting - come on, it's probably never been on/up, so it's hardly surprising, and it was only the hook missing off
Chris' side that stopped it being pulled taught anyway...
Also, I can see a car being worth £5.6m a damn sight quicker than I could see a painting be worth that amout...
And fair play to Chris for owning it and driving it and the rest of his Ferrari's. I'd be doing the Exact same thing as him if I had his
money...
As for his garage, it's appeared on two or three motoring programmes now (actually, one might have been a lifestyle programme, as Billie Piper
was lay down with him on that white leather couch, both looking at the last Ferrari that he had in pride of place before the GTO) and his garage has
always been the one I've thought back to, but not bothered to post about when the stupid dream garages threads come up now and again...
He's a realistic bloke and only lives round the corner from the TG track and is often known to buy a few beers after lock in at his local...
agree a 250 GTO awesome one of the best looking cars ever. 250 GT second
better value than a painting............can you drive a painting?????
on the subject of BMW's......I have driven plenty ......owned NONE.
very overrated.
the older ones are better than the new ones
The fact Chris let James drive it in the wet proves he is a true piston head !
A Car like that needs to be driven...

Saw this last August in California while we were driving down the Big Sur, luckily we were sat admiring the views when I heard something nice in the
distance and I managed to get a photo.
Ferrari 250 California
Then there were loads of other classics passing, turns out there was the pebble beach concours event on and I had no known about it while planning the
route, dang.

The music they played at the start of the M5 piece was 'Back To Business' by Pop Will Eat Itself, the opening track of their new album
'New Noise Designed By A Sadist'. I'm off to see them play tomorrow night in sunny Wolverhampton
