How many have you driven?

None.

You need 20 grand to get a good 6 Series. Lots of 'tidy' ones (i.e money pits) for less and even 20 grand ones can be shite. The last one I bought was in 1996, the ex Tom Jones 1984 A reg auto in Alpine white with blue leather. It was absolutely mint, recent new front wings and four new Avon Turbosp...

Or are they better off with something like a semi synth 15w-40?

In 20 years time, when some of us are as old as you, we will be saying to people of a similar age how we used to get V8 barge/NA hot hatches/RWD coupes easily for under 2 grand. MX5/MGF for half that. Pre-90s classic cars for under 5k, Etc. Hell even a flat-6 Porsche for under that. While by then a...

I don't care much for the BGT even if I like the styling. A Roadster however - can be a 62 or a 72, just has to be metal bumper. I'm still not old enough to want one yet. I had all the good stuff 20-30 years ago when it was affordable so I laugh at all you lot paying thousands for cars I paid 500 qu...

There's no fucking 'K'!
