Well I work from home so no commuting, but no it won't be the daily driver. It's too nice to take on the salted roads of our icy winter.

The daily driver is a £1K Volvo banger!

Merc looks alright, Chris. Not to my taste though, but, whatever floats your boat.

I'm always mindful of two points Micky, one I tiptoe round Longhoughton (the village) and give it some on the greatest drivers roads known to Northerner, and two I'm 40 noiw and need to be a little less ....well...... in your face!

Surely an Audi RS6 Bi-Turbo would have been a better choice?

It's your car of course and as long as you are happy with it then nobody else's opinion counts.

That is one hell of an engine, makes the Subaru engine look even more ugly.

Nah the Scoob engine is just different rather than ugly and instantly identifiable given the boxer layout. Love them both

A combination of a remap and uprating the supercharger, I think the remap adds about 35-40 hp on its own and then the supercharger upgrade adds another 60 or so. To get the best noise I need to add a cross pipe to the exhaust but the new MOT regs don't like it apparently so that may not happen

Can't believe it, that engine looks very similar to my 1.6 Focus diesel.

I love the mental AMG engines, there is something just so 'animal' about them. Anybody who claims to be a petrolhead can't possibly not find them impressive

I had a C32 AMG many years ago ( with a paltry approx 350 BHP) and could see myself buying another AMG at some point.


Enjoy!

Always criticising what you don't like(and labouring on about it too), and if others happen to like said thing, then they're wrong - because you say so!
