Ps. Sorry Ferrer, no Panda 100HP's today

Nothing interesting to report then...

I've seen a Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG and one of the new Mini Cooper S Mk II, my first one, and I don't really like the exhaust arrangement.

A little while ago, I saw a Volvo S60(I think) that had aftermarket sideskirts and spoiler. It looked _awesome_. If someone had told me I'd think a volvo was beautiful when I was in highschool, I'd have had you admitted.

Saw a Chrysler 300C SRT-8 just yesterday. It has a very commanding and very menacing presence. I parked up, and it was just there, wafting towards me. Every car that went past it slowed down.

I have GOT to get down to Pentagon Chrysler, Portsmouth!! I have to get some pics of 300C's I just love them, then maybe I'll pop across to Pentagon Dodge, Portsmouth... Ram 1500 Laramies & Ram SRT-10s... and the odd Viper SRT-10, I hope... *licks lips*

I think that the problem with the 300C is that it is too big for Europe...

In a way I quite like it... but only the SRT-8.

It's not that big, compared to an Audi A6 it's only marginally bigger.

Audi A6:
Length = 4916 mm / 16'2"
Width = 1855 mm / 6'1" exc. mirrors
Height = 1459 mm / 4'9"

Chrysler 300C:
Length = 5015 mm / 16'5"
Width = 1880 mm / 6'2" exc. mirrors
Height = 1475 mm / 4'10"

Well I already find the A6 too big for cities and small towns...

So imagine anything bigger...

Audi Q7 yesterday, in black. Of all the big SUV's that are made between Volkswagen, Porsche and Audi, I like the Audi most.

You're used to a Mini so that's to be expected. It's not that bad, it's a pain to get in and out of our drive way but that's mainly because people always (without fail) park in the way, and the A6 does seem to stick out a few feet from every parking space you you stick it in...

I'm used to the Mini, that's true, and in the city it's very good indeed as I can dodge traffic easily. But I drive my uncle's A6 sometimes and in narrow streets as well as when parking it's awful. Not so much for the lenght but rather for the width.

Of course that doesn't mean I couldn't get used to it, I could and the car has other advantages over the Mini (like comfort), but if we could get those advantages in a smaller package (which we already can, in the case of Audi the A4) it would be better in my opinion.
