That must be fast tho. Nice. In fairness the newer S40 is one damn good looking machine. Ive got 136bhp. Slower than I thought it would be. Is TopDonkey really gone?

I think the problem with that is he'd have needed to SELLHISSOULTOTHEDEVIL to afford the insurance.

Still, with 136bhp it should exactly be a slug either.

Thats easy to say when you dont have to pay road tax. Road tax on a V6 is a few quid under €2k per annum here. Thats over $2900AUD in crocodiledundeeland every year!!

Ive never even driven a V6 in Ireland! Thats how rare they are. Subaru and Mitsubishi Turbos seem to be the order of the day if you want insane power! Insurance wouldnt be too much more i'd say

136 is magic enough a goal for me to get to - how many HP does a 1.8 from 1999 have now? Not that many ... :(

Makes it all the more satisfying when overtaking the smarmy BMW and Audi drivers though
2002 (D9) Peugeot 406 Coupe SE, 2.2 litre Petrol. Scarlet Red/Rouge Ecarlate/Rosso Scarlatto. Black Leather interior. SOLD :(
2008 (E60 LCI) BMW 525i M-Sport, 3.0 litre Petrol. Carbonschwarz Metallic. Black Dakota Leather and Myrtlewood interior.
