Arrrgh. I think October 2015 the SS went to HUD? your car is series 11 so you must have it. Big difference between Ser 1 and 2

Mine is 'black edition' - 2016 model. HUD and GPS was standard on them...

You would regret it if you had it today and see how much it is worth in good nic.

It’s a bit like those lottery tickets, we all hear about someone striking it rich (or lucky) but it’s never us.

Cars are for transport or for a fun hobby, but rarely are they a good financial investment!

I raise you a 316i M sport.

Can afford the body kit pack, but not the engine. All show, no go.

Seriously >9 seconds acceleration is about the same as an old Camry with the 4 speed slush box.

Man ... I remember when 10 was kinda quick, 6cyl Falcodores would be out-accelerated at the lights by newfangled twin-cam Japanese hatches that could juuust manage 9.9s ...

Well before I got my license, I thought 30 yo’s were far too old, At 30, taking a ride on the carousel for renewal didn’t seem like a bad idea to my young eyes and brain... Obviously I’ve matured and the goal posts of what is considered old has been reassessed, multiple times, as I’ve aged myself...

Likewise, the moving goal posts of what is considered fast has been psychologically amended multiple times over the years as newer cheaper vehicles outperform those of old... Heck, today a VF SV6 pumps out 210kw’s while an old HSV VL SS Group A SV pumps out 180kw. Oddly both have similar 0 - 100 times of around mid 6’s and a quarter mile time of mid 14’s...

My how some things have progressed, some things have stayed the same and maybe some things have been lost along the way But whatever you do don’t put a Group A badge on a SV6 or a SV6 badge on a VL Group A

And for those young ones who don’t know what a carousel renewal is, have a look at the below Logan’s Run clip

You've never seen Logan's Run?

You missed out on a teenage right of passage with Jenny Agutter

I think this is a perfect description for my reaction when I've tried to watch the classic movie Logan's Run.
