08 boys and girls post ya pics!!

mgarvey · 03-03-2008, 06:55 PM

Some nice looking cars there - especially the white one - I'm kind of surprised just how good the M-Sport looks in AW. Be interesting to see what it looks like covered in miles of road grit.

Also with Carlos on the Fiat 500. They had some in Basingstoke shopping centre on display the other day and I had a nose around whilst the wife was in a clothes shop (I had plenty of time then). They are nice looking, surprisingly good quality, and have interior and boot space that make a Mini look like shockingly bad packaging.

I thought about buying one, but the wife rightly pointed out that in a year after the novelty factor wore off I'd be bored witless and wanting to sell it.

saddle brown, does look the bollox. Goes well with lots of paint colours

Dr.Crap · 03-04-2008, 05:47 AM

The trouble with a lot of non typical leather colours is that unless you see them in the flesh you would never consider them. The pictures don't do the colour any justice.

The only other issue then is re-sale. You only need to go on any used car website to see that some people really have no taste

Bumps · 03-04-2008, 10:01 AM

TSL, that colour combo looks the bollox mate

I would only buy the non typical leathers as the rest are so boring!

beemerbird · 03-04-2008, 01:01 PM

TSL - Lovely looking car. Looks like the colour combo works well, although I bet it looks even better in the flesh.

Bablo - Are you posting up anymore pics?

Fatbloke · 03-04-2008, 01:25 PM

I'm a bit late getting any pics of the new motwah posted as this week i have been mainly eating miles, (on the motorway).
Check out the dash pic (13 miles on delivery on Saturday)
MPG is from a run down to the south coast today.

Could not post any pics before as the car was dirty by the time I got home on saturday, and has got dirtier by the day. Managed to clean this afternoon before the sun went down and got a few pics although they are not brilliant.

I'll sort it out on the weekend.

beemerbird · 03-04-2008, 01:52 PM

Fatbloke - Nice looking motor and that's a really good pic. against that sky. Like those wheels as well.

I'll make absolutely no comment on that phenomenal mpg return!

Fatbloke · 03-04-2008, 01:59 PM

Thanks BB, IMO wheels are an improvement over the previous 4cyl SE models (these are now fitted to the ES).

The mpg was not that difficult, at times today, it got as high as 53.4.

Got to get a better camera.

Lovely Motwah FB, love the colour! I do like Tourings

3_toed_tree_sloth · 03-05-2008, 04:58 AM

Are the odometer (mileage) fonts blue ? as opposed to orange in mine, or is that just an artefact of the photography.

G33 · 03-05-2008, 05:04 AM
