k & b, whatever you do, dont brake in mid corner or your car will understeer then go sideway. it could be fun or scary depending on your state of mind and whether there is on coming traffic.
i already had all the thrills racing in the UK ages ago, imagine Catford to E and castle in 20mins morning rush hour,
Ashford A20 to S London 25mins....crazy days

My Ride: 2004 BMW 520i E60 in Amethyst Gray
My brother is planning to change his car and so yesterday we went to Wanchai's Automall by Grand Hyatt for a look. I haven't been down there for more than 2 years and thing has changed. Not many car selection there now and many empty spots (dealers closed down). We passed by the dealer whom I bought my E60 and talked to the salesman a bit. He has only less than 10 cars available such as an Audi A4 S-Line Avant, E60 525i, Benz C class, 2008 VW Golf R32 and a few others. We checked out the R32 a bit and the salesman was very enthusastic. The price is about $350K with only 7,000 km. We asked him about the trade in but he sounds like they don't like it or will give a very low price. At the end we finished walking of the entire automall in less than 30 mins.
My observation :
1) Price is still high for most of the cars there
2) Not too much selection
3) Low ball trade in offer
Dealers are not willing to sell cars for less and bail out. Business will be very tough for them. For me I will be driving my car definitely for a few more years.
