I may have worded it poorly. I didn't avoid the C70 because I thought a 5-cyl would screw its clutch bearing faster. I avoided the x60/x70 platform as the clutch is a known weak point on the entire platform. Although now I think of it, its the slave cylinder not the bearing that goes first, at horrendous expense

No, no 244. The "thing" Kieran is talking about, will be revealed sometime in the future....:)

Looking good Alex. Just spotted the additional spot lights in the middle of the lower bumper grill. Nice little touch.

lol. I am actually not to keen on them, because I know they are aftermarket, but they were the reason SWMBO decided that this was the car we were going to buy 6 years ago....:). The only compromise was to disconnect them, as they kept blowing the fuses, but under no circumstances am I allowed to remove them.... lol

My Car....
 
It's a C70 T5. Once I got used to it I started averaging 23.9 to the gallon. It's a wonderful car. It's quick and does 130 mph on the M40 with no issues. Only problem is it has the passenger window a bit lower than it should be so if it rains in the wrong direction I am screwed. And I have to drive with the window down a bit to cancel out the wind noise so...started smoking again. Costs me almost as much as the petrol:)
