Re: What's The First Car You Remember Being Released?
Although maybe it’s the e34 5 series as I remember a neighbour had one new (at launch) which cause much curtain twitching in the suburbs.

Re: HMC motors- New shite (contains humid Volvo)
I can’t find a lazy spotters thread so I’ll shove this live spot here. Sadly Richard Hammond has ruined the appeal of these for me.
