Hi, not posted on here for a while, lots of new faces!
I have been with a mate to look at some cars he might be buying. We drove a 93 E34 535 and a 92 Granada 2.9 V6. Now these are both cracking cars for the money and both felt as sporty as a car with an armchair instead of a seat can feel. Both cars I would not have looked twice at before.
The bimmers go down in value as the engine size increaces, so a 520 will cosy an arm and a leg, a 535 costs about 30p and a 540 owner will pay you to take it away, I suppose this reflects on the fuel bills and the feeling that the car is a ticking away towards a big bill. The scorpio was rapid even after the v8, its a shame it has an auto box but once on the move its not slow for a barge hitting the wrong side of a 100 from
50 in little time at all.One thing that really surprised me was the cornering on both cars. Being used to the more petite vehicle I expected these thhings to fall over and die if I even whent near a roundabout but no, a bit of power oversteer and both cars seem to glide smoothly, although this might have been a false sence of security and the same may apply to rough b-roads.
With all the miles I do Im seriously thinking about getting one of these for a bit of pipe and slipper motoring. :) I was previously looking at a
200sx of a simlar age but these cars do have a strange appeal.How do these cars compare? Im thinking that some breathing will free up some power and a godzilla style sondtrack.
