You'll like this Midlife Crisis

[Squag1]

I know you weren’t, I was just distancing myself from the stereotypicals. Me! could have one though, he lives on the south coast and fits the profile to a tee.

Nah, not a fan of out and out sports cars. Besides, I have nowhere to keep it as the drive is only wide enough for two cars at the top and there’s no room in the garage. If we had a third car, we’d always be needing to shift one to get another out. As it is with two cars there, I can get a bike out but with a third car, that goes out the window.

Considered moving house

You just haven't thought this through, have you.....

I have, but my Panzer would have to make way for any silly car.

If you want a proper mid life crisis you need a proper car. Get an F-Type. Trust me it's got an epic V8 in it that would give a dead vicar a chubby and is up to any mid life crisis you can throw at it. Plus you can safely stop and play top trumps with any Mustang owners while they are waiting for recovery to tow them out of the ditch.

Again, I’m not a fan of out and out sports cars. Besides, my Panzer is quicker than an F-Type.

No. Unless I’m forced to by circumstances beyond my control, I’m not moving.

That is one bloody quick Panzer then. From memory it was 550ps and 680NM and could get to 60mph faster than I could shit my pants.

Pow-Lo if you must get a Mustang why not get a decent one?

Thats way overpriced by the way, nice though it looks.

RS 6 is still a better bet though. Proper mad V8, sounds amazing and Audi build quality. And it’s got a ton of boot space that I thought you need for,work?
If it helps, its on a short list as my next car.

 

[Oldandbald]

It helps me. I wouldn't be seen dead in one now.

Ah, maybe I've confused it with another sporty Jag that's 'only' 350bhp. My Panzer is 313bhp but has 465lb/ft torque and will hit 60 (with a decent driver at the wheel in 4.6s. Not bad for a boring, practical, family estate.

There's one in the work car park and I've suddenly decided I don't want one anymore. After having a good look around it, I don't think it's my bag. I think I'll wait til this time next year and get another wagon, M340i.

Lights blue touch paper and stands well back, tattoo and a Harley?

I have enough tattoos. I did want a Harley for a long time as a child but I think that was probably because of my surname. I had a girlfriend once who's surname was Harley and she reckoned my name was nothing without hers. Cheeky bitch.

Your surname is "Worth-it"...????

 

[Cougar377]

I’ve decided to schedule a midlife crisis later this year and I’m thinking of chopping in the Panzer for a 5 litre Mustang.

Is this an acceptable thing to do for a midlife crisis or is it going too far? Or am I not going far enough?

Discuss.

To take it back to your original posting.....yes it is acceptable if you're a fat, bald middle-aged has been.
After serious reflection and taking all your answers in to consideration......

I don’t like Audis and the RS6 is not really a midlife crisis car. Not for me, anyway. The Mustang is a big, shouty, in-yer-face muscle car with a big shouty engine and big shouty exhausts. Way more midlife crisis material.

The V8 is an added bonus. Besides, who in their right mind would buy a 2.3 Mustang?

If I was sticking with German cars for my midlife crisis (if I do get a Mustang, I’ll go back to BM after I’m done) I’d go for an 840d or an X6.

But you’re a wank rider and driver ? Fact.

I’ll happily park on your driveway. We could share a pukka pie n chips. I am way too suave for one. Mustang. You complete tool x

From about £35k uk delvered

That’ll be for a Mustang with a few Shelby badges thrown on it.

you hardly need to be a ‘half decent driver’!

Sport Plus, engage Launch Control, feet as hard on the brakes and gas as you can then let brake off.

It was a lot of fun the one time I have done it

 

[Nige F]

If you're going to get a Mustang get a Steeda.... Tuned version.

I picked one up in the summer that had been done to 800bhp...the sound was, awesome... Far better car than the normal Ferrari Lambo Porsche etc I deliver

I’m better than you on a horse, Fatty. Fact.

You’re on Carwow right now looking to see how much you can score one for. Fact. Baldy.

Point one. I agree.
Point two. I’d rather drive your very own little pink Fiat 500 than a Mustang. The FIAT ok these days after the trouble you had with the floor buckling Tubbs?

You have no choice but to agree point one, Fatty. Even a shire horse couldn’t lift you!

I don’t have a Fiat but my Panzer does just fine. Fatty.

 

[DLN1965]

If you are taller than 6 foot OR take any passengers over the age of 10 in the rear seats ... You will find it a squeeze !!
Was going to hire one for a road trip a couple of years ago and having tried one for size .... it was a no go !!
Try one for size first .... it’s a bit of a squeeze !

But the grin factor caused by the right foot is well worth it !!
A workmate had one and he switched off traction control and tried it ..... he said it was very scary but fun !! He won’t do it again tho !!

 

[Cougar377]

If you're serious about a hairy chested, midlife crisis musclecar then you're looking in the wrong direction.
You should be looking down under for inspiration. One of the VRX8's.....preferrably the GTS.

I’ll keep the gentlemanly ‘Benz’ over your Fiat. Albeit I did like the City steering you had as an option as you couldn’t move your arms with your belly so close to the wheel. Look on the bright side... being as obese as you are will save you from kidnap.
