So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

Sold this Lexus NX350 F Sport for 68K last week - 19mths old 17K kms on the clock:

During negs dude who bought it indicated he wanted to transfer funds on the spot and drive away - I told him no drive away until I see all funds in our account - he pondered that for a few secs and replied ‘OK how about I bring you cash’ - ‘You will bring me 68K in notes?’ - ‘Yes’ - ‘Ah no I don’t think so - plenty people been killed for a lot less than 68K’.

He transferred funds Thu and they in our account Sat so he collected this morn 👍
 
I paid 80k for mi-eg on the spot after flying in to the cellar to view it .
The owner used the same bank and was stunned when the transfer was in his account in less than 10 min
 
Yes a few layers to this - firstly you must have transfer limit sufficient to accommodate the amount - which he didn’t - then if it’s a 3rd party bank no guarantee transfer will be under 1 to 2 to 3 days - banks are a law unto themselves
 
IMO, the burning at the stake of fuel efficient modern high speed diesels will be a source of enormous regret in the fullness of time.
Electrics are a dirty (coal powered) resource hungry stop gap.. buy in haste repent at leisure
 
I'm looking at getting a new numberplate, but options here are a bit limited.

Using a leetspeak translator helps, as well as doing some character substitution automatically using search and replace.

BIBLEBOY 🤣 🙃 🤣
 
I currently drive a g20 2022 bmw 330e M-Sport. Ill
Soon be selling this and getting a new BYD Seal Performance as I want to go AWD full EV.

If anyone is interested in the 330e pm me. It’s been a great car but it was a stop gap until a non Tesla came along that I wanted to buy… (not a fan of the Tesla)

In the future I am going to down size to this, I just like it. Dropping from current daily driver with 330HP to around 44HP may take some getting used to.View attachment 383475

I've been mulling over what project I will do after I retire (shortly I hope). There are so many of these left in the world, you can get newly manufactured spare parts.

10hp is enough.
