Hi guys,
Just got back from my home town for the 1st time in 8 years, and boy have things changed :happy2:
took this pic sitting at some red lights, not sure what the copper was doing??

After taking the pic I drove past him and took another 1 closer.

After taking this pic he saw me and pulled me over at the next set of lights telling me it was illegal taking pics of the cops, and that he didn't want to appear on Facebook or Youtube :signLOL: I told him about the forum and what a nice car he had so he changed his mood :smiley:
Now for the better part of my holiday.....you couldn't remove the smile off my face!!!! :evilgrin:

What a weapon she is, and only 1 of 3 cars my mate has there. I think I'll be asking for a job :signLOL:
Listen to her, she's an absolute weapon!!!! :notworthy:
-
How's she drive :party:
-
I'm still smiling now, so you can imagine!!!
The paddles were absolutely massive though, so completely different to the S3's. And it has no stalks (not that I noticed), everything is on the wheel :signLOL:
-
Looks amazing ! !
-
:drool: :drool:
-
Wow :drool: I wasn't expecting a stiffy this morning :ashamed:
Sounds amazing Jussa :happy2:
-
Eish, don't you want to give me your mates name and number, I will make a special trip to Cape Town next time I'm over, lol.
Glad you had a good time. Good to go back hey? I try at least once a year, sometimes twice.
-
so were you allowed to drive it or just sit and rev? :popcornsoda:
-
458..... Filth!!! :-)
-
looks good, my dads 458 spyder gets delivered soon (ish) :party: :party:

:signLOL: :signLOL: it was my 1st time back home for 8 years and things have changed radically!!!
The guy that owns the 458 is a good mate of mine from school days. He also has a Maserati and a Bentley and he's young than me :confused:
I went in the Maserati the night before, and the noise from that is Biblical, we both agree it sounds far better than the 458, but is considerably slower.
Never went in the Bentley though, wasn't really interested, not my sort of taste. The 458 and Maserati are :drool: :drool:
He convinced his father to buy a Bentley Azure which his father now wants to sell after 3 months of owning :stupid:
-
selling a bentley after 3 months :surprised: i bet hes not only bent right over on the residual value loss..but lubed up too :grin:
-
Very cool! 458 is as expected :driver:
Was the Mk6 GTI the most valuable police vehicle they have out there? Seems a bit odd to me that they'd have that from a financial perspective, decent though!
-
I believe in Cape Town they have Beemers as well, but in Johannesburg they have Porsches I think?
Talking about residuals, in South Africa they spend 3 times more for cars than we do here :stupid: he paid around £350K for the 458, so you can imagine the loss on the Bentley :sick:
-
Agreed on the Maserati - a neighbour of mine has one and it sounds unbelievable. I've never been a massive fan of the sound of V8 Ferraris.
-
BY THE GREAT BEARD OF ZEUS!!! £350k for a 458 :surprised: :surprised:
-
:signLOL: that would be ZEUS!!!!
Yes, absolute madness!!!!
All their car prices there are ludicrous!!!
My other mate bought a 2008 2nd hand X5 and is paying £800 a month on finance :stupid:

Agree, I had a Masser 3200GT, the twin turbo V8, loved that car. Really sad day when it went, but was costing a bomb to run.
Yep car prices in SA are mental. I have a 4 year old Fiesta Zetec here I am sending over to my 18 year old daughter in the next month or two. Had the car from new and only 26k miles. Far cheaper to pay the £3600 shipping and duties, etc. and give her a car with a great spec and a known history, than trying to buy her something out there that has far less spec and you have no idea how it's been treated.
