You should keep it mate.. a couple of thousand miles around Europe and you'll be smitten!

In the last couple of days I’ve done a fair few miles. One blast around Worcestershire/Herefordshire lanes and one long motorway journey to take it to Richard.
It’s probably one of the best long distance cars. It’s brilliant at autobahn speeds. They missed a trick not fitting cruise control especially as it’s got an electric throttle.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but for country lanes it’s too fast. For real world acceleration, the in gear stuff out of a corner, it’s the fastest road car I’ve driven. I know the factory says 350 but it’s easily over 400bhp. None of the Astons, Ferraris, etc I’ve been in are as quick and certainly no Maserati. I know someone will say their Stradale is faster and it might be on paper to 60 but in the real world I don’t reckon it’s got the poke.
So I’m actually not too sad it’s going, someone with more balls than me will get a great car, there’s some lovely pictures up on Richard’s now for you all to dribble over.
The Mrs doesn’t have other ideas, although we both want to get rid of the gravel drive. She did say I shouldn’t have another car soon but I broached the subject last night and I’m still alive.
In the last ten years the two cars I’ve enjoyed driving the most have been the Mrs’ 3 cylinder Peugeot 107 and my £1000 E34 525i, so I’m thinking that maybe something nippy and front wheel drive or slightly more old fashioned but still modern might be the way forward for enjoyment.
