@autocar I’m liking the way the VW Group is going with EV styling - coherent rather than something that looks like a prop from Logan’s Run. I’m looking forward to getting eyes on the ID POLO GTI - this Epiq too looks like something I’d drive with tidy styling.
An EV that’s cheaper than its petrol sibling? 👀
The new Skoda Epiq has officially landed to take on the Renault 4! And at under £25k, it undercuts its combustion-engined counterpart buff.ly/KMvdpLd
@FarandPaulJr Very nice and I looked at them as I made my selection. I wanted a field watch but for me I wanted a date window too. So - I landed with Oris. My only watch and worn every day and irrespective of what I’m doing. A great companion and its clarity and simplicity are perfect 👌🏻
Every time I sit in the S8 it takes me back 30 x years to Audi interiors that felt beautifully made.
The walnut inlays are very much of the era, but it still has an aura of over-engineered Teutonic quality that was built to last.
Needed a strong brew after the upstairs fucktards woke me up TWICE i the early hours with their washing machine. Look at this weak piss I've been served up. #unacceptable#puke
Long-term Mercedes W124 ownership reflects trust in engineering rather than trend chasing.
Rowan Atkinson is documented as having owned high-spec W124 variants, including the 500E, and is known for keeping cars long-term when they are built properly.
Ownership here is about durability, mechanical honesty and keeping something because it works, not because it is new.
Mr. Bean once bought an 500 E in the 90s, then sold it after 4 years of ownership and then tracked it down after 2 decades because he missed his car.
@autocar This was my first Mk4 Golf - so lovely. My second was a brand new 130 TDi GTI and it was such a great car. And you’re right about premium. The Mk5 forced me to Audi given the drop in quality. I loved both of my Golf’s ❤️
@hjwakerley The beauty of the E500 / E60 is that it’s discrete and every day usable. I ran my 500E every day in Germany and it was happy pottering about, or at the limiter on the autobahn. And only those that knew, knew. That’s what MB used to epitomise to me - no need to shout about it 👌🏻
Always Check the Car Park
- S Class launch edition 8/10
Kicking off with one of my dream cars, an E60. Believed to be just 45 ‘real’ E60 in the world - lots of people converted E500s. Followed by Shmee150’s AMG GT Black Series in the best colour and a mint CL500.
Another dream car (in a dream colour) a C63 AMG Black Series. I would bet there are fewer than 5 in Solar Beam yellow… lastly, many dinner plates.
Not sure who wins this round. C63 BS?
