Crude has again hit a new low of $40 and is only going to go lower, possibly down to $30 by mid to end Q1, so is now the time to get in and buy the Supercharger or even dare I say it that "speacial" car you've always wanted. I'm not talking new here but as we've all seen residuals are in total freefall. Just look at what dealers are off loading at BCA. I can't believe how things have changed in a six month period  Speed Limits! not where I live!

I'm with you Steve. I've always driven big Petrol V8s no matter what the price of fuel. The Aston Martin I've always wanted, but never been able to afford, now looks remarkably affordable
The trick is knowing when to jump in and buy it. Reading the bottom of the market has never been my Forte, so I'll probably end up overpaying yet again. Good deals to be had out there just now and cash is KING.
ANT  Range Rover Evoque 5 door on order.
2006Java/Alpaca/4.4HSE/PTIS/Tracker/pp/Tasmods/Black side repeaters/Custom exhaust (gone but not forgotten!)
Land Rover Defender 110 CSW 200 TDi blue (Offroad prep'ed).
Citroen C4 Grand Picasso
Aston Martin DB9 Tungsten Silver
Another Citroen C4 Grand Picasso (Christinemobile)
1990 Mini Cooper SE - classic! (now sold)
New addition - 1972 Triumph Stag Pimento Red

Wish I could afford the car of my dreams

However, the price of petrol did so some way to persuading me it was time to rid the oil burner and start feeding a 4.2 V8

£45 to fill up from just under a quarter of a tank and a whole barrel of laughs to drive . Have to say I am seriously pleased with the S4  Current: I can't say...Oh the Shame!

Oil/fuel prices will not make me buy a Diesel when we replace our RRS.

It will be the 5L V8 S/C and to hell with the consequences  Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award
