It really does have a big nose. At speed I haven’t found it to be a problem but manoeuvring is very much a challenge. The wide track versions bring another dimension to consider too. The bonnet is big enough to land a helicopter on.I'll tell you one that isn't on my list. AMG GTS. I've lived with one all this week, and it isn't for me. I find the bonnet too long and wide and the wheels are way out in the front corners. It makes it difficult to place the front end accurately on turn in. The transaxle in the back makes its presence felt if you lift in the corners and also under hard braking. The 3 way dampers leave the car too springy in soft and in hard they are too stiff, like a go kart. It'd be ok on a billiard table smooth track, but that's about it. Middle setting is fine. God knows why they bothered with the other two. Also the door sill is high and an old git like me struggles to lift my feet into the car. I'm sure others would love it. For me it was a dream shattered. I'll stick with my C63 I think.
My mate Jim having a go. He liked it more than me.

The letterbox view through the windscreen and caricature dimensions & styling are very big part of what gives the car it’s distinct character. Personally I love them, but I can easily understand why you wouldn’t.
No such thing
Lovely! What model is the Capri?I've got a double garage with 3 cars in my current brood of classics, although certainly not my ideal / dream 3 car garage !

They all look fab! Presumably the E30 gets less use than the others?Its a MK ll 3.0L Ghia - only has 50,000 miles - 43 years old the E30 is a 318is, I am only the 2nd owner
No, actually the Cossie gets the least use, the E30 gets driven the most, it's just a great car to drive ! although last year the Capri got used and showed the most as it was the 50th anniversary of the Capri, had it at 9 shows I think ! but I also love driving it, had the E30 at 4 or 5 shows last year + its driven almost every Saturday (during spring and summer) weather permitting, although I do love the Cossie, it just isnt my preferred car, always wanted one, but, as they say, maybe you shouldn't drive your hero's !! so its currently up for sale !..They all look fab!

Only three? I currently have eight, and I still find myself regularly browsing the ads. Yes, I have a disease.
Sounds nice. Add an oak frame, car port and highly polished concrete floor and I think that could be close to perfect.My ideal three car garage would be one made with cavity brick wall and fully sound insulated with a high ceiling, perhaps solar panels on the roof (to charge the batteries)
In one corner my favourite swivel rocker and a high end sound system so that I could replicate the sound of the Ford Mustang and Ferrari which I don’t have.
Oh! and not forgetting the wine cooler and coffee machine.

Add a rack, some chains hanging from the ceiling and er, sorry, wrong forum........Seeing @shm
