The EvoII is in my top 10. Although I would feel a bit of a tit driving around with that huge spoiler as not many people would know what the car is but just think i'm a barry boy!

In my humble opinion, I wouldn't touch an 80's Merc when you could buy one of these....

Best looking German cars since the Gulwing Merc SL's if you ask me!
An M635CSi has been my dream car since I was at school. Such a shame that the new ones look like block of butter thats been left in the sun :roll:
And they haven't got a pic-nic table attached to the boot

and here is what £830 gets you if you fancy a C124 instead..

£830?! I forgot how cheap old cars are over there. Wish they were here. I love the W124 coupes, if I could get an E320 for that money here I'd do it!

EDIT: I just took a look at what's available over here:



:roll:

If it's a BMW it'd have to be this one, 40 grand in the same showroom as the EVO II:

I still think this is a great looking car! The E500!!!

Mate of mine bought a really nice one of those last year for £11k. Needed a few jobs but very nice. Could it feck keep up with my Alfa on the way back from Le Mans. Absolutly slaughtered it

I was trundling home past Abbots Ripton in my trusty rusty old 500 SEC when a well driven Audi on trade plates loomed into my mirror - Huntingdon has a big service centre and is home to the area's R8 servicing.

I had a bloody full blown S6 V8 on my tail making my 245 bhp and then 23 year old mechanics look a bit chuff.

He only managed to overtake on a straight with blinding acceleration.

A Clio Sport once tried to challenge the 560 SEL with its non cat 300bhp by trying to overtake in a rather stupid place - he was then presented with a 560 SEL shaped dust cloud as I left him stuck in the wrong lane whilst myself had briskly moved 500 yards ahead of him.


I like W126 V8's.

Nice classic Mercs - until somebody sticks on a load of plastic tat ;-)

Weren't some of the cossie 190s kinda understated, or is that just my memory playing tricks?

The normal cosworths had a small bodykit. EVO's are a little bit special and they came from the factory like that.
