Fuck me ! Quentin was obviously on a nice backhander from Mercedes then. Even conceding that the e39 was the best car he dismissed it because the 3 Series was too popular and Kebab shop and chip shop owners owned BMWs. That level of blind bias and borderline racism means he’d fit in here nicely.

He'd be able to do old career threads to rival Warren too.

It is with regret, that I unfortunately have to disagree with you.
Quentin is right in every single aspect. The car really is that good.
And don't forget, mine is just a WBoD shitbox.

Re: Hanging WBoD Shitheap Made by Hitler Acquired
I don't think that was a top gear video. From the description it looks like a Mercedes training video and so those two were probably paid to only say positive things. At least Tiff didn't sell his soul to the three pointed star and just gave the chat to the technical element. Even then you can see the driver in the ESP element not driving the same with the one without - hardly a fair test.
I do think Quentin was struggling a bit to find faults with the others. Like moaning about red lights on a dash in the Audi (which is a common Audi design feature of the era) and completely avoiding the fact they're red as it doesn't affect your night vision. Something that I wish car manufacturers still cared about with their glitzy bright, modern big touch screens.

Aye, Mr Willson would do or say anything for a buck. Including his current dalliance with eco bollocks.

I hate red dashboard lights. They might not affect night vision but they make my eyes ache and give me a headache, so they deserve moaning about.
Dashboards should be black, white numbers and green lighting.

Series II P6s were an excellent example of how to correctly illuminate a dash.

There is nothing wrong with the bloody instrument lighting of this shitbox, relax.
To the contrary, realising the age structure of their clientele, they made the speedo as big as a saucer, so even I can read it without wearing my old man glasses.
I have developed a pathetic appreciation for things designed for old people.

Re: Hanging WBoD Shitheap Made by Hitler Acquired
While all this exciting* discussion of backlight colour and age related plates is interesting, there is still the big elephant in the room.
What on earth happened here to cause this? Did the distress of your 405 dieing cause a brief brain blip to sanity? Or just found a new side to yourself after a long forum hiatus and spending too long on Twitter? I mean it's so bad that it does look great as Ghosty suggests. But the big V8, American land yacht loving Junkman in a small literal box of tiny Japanese engined automobile curiosities is not what I would have expected.
