I remember earlier in the year when you was contemplating selling the 1 you had .
We're contemplating selling the buccaneer cruiser we have at the moment

Up and out of the house at 0530, at Starbucks for 0630, and MoT test started at 0700. It passed with flying colours and amused the MoT testers as they enjoy seeing which ridiculous old car I’ll take them next. Back home and being detailed. Love this car.

Renewed the insurance today. It’s gone up by exactly £20 this year, which seemed jolly reasonable to me, so I didn’t ask for a discount again - I didn’t last year either.

Whilst driving it yesterday I passed a group of teenage boys as I turned right at a set of traffic lights and one of them shouted “corrrr it’s an SLR”

As you say, kids today.
Imagine them not recognising who was driving...

I don't normally defend the yoof of today but was that rather the point of the 171 to look like a shrunk in wash SLR

Yes it was a deliberate styling cue, and it sounds more like an SLR than an SLK too. The Kleemann 55K S8 was even referred to as the “Baby SLR” too, as it had very similar power to weight ratio.
