I think the perfect car does exist for you Dave. E60 M5, You were looking so lustfully at that blue one at the Pistonheads Le Mans meet.
Just a shame it won't do 30mpg. LPG?
I'm going but am going to stay over in a travel lodge in Birmingham the night before because I'm at BTM the day before. Two birds one stone. I'll convoy back with people.
It was fashionable on here 3+ years ago to have the stripped interior and bucket seats for road cars.
In reality its only worth it for a track car but they are a fair bit quicker stripped.
It must be a horrible feeling. Hope the biker is ok.
Sounds like it wasn't your fault though mate. Hope everything works out for both parties involved.
So funny (depressing) seeing how people used to fill up Clio's for £36.
Think the most I've put in mine was about £68 when it was like 1.45 a litre. Its about £63 now.
I went from two Clio's to an MX5 back to a Clio.
To be fair my MX5 got the most slating "Barbie car" etc. ironically it was off students who either didn't drive or had s**t 15 year old MK4 Fiestas. Pikeys.
I get told mines a girls car or I'm a chav. Neither of which I care about.
A car is just another thing that people make a prejudgement of a person about.
I'd rather have the 182 and change than an early 197. The early 197's have the silly low ratio gearboxes, no option of cup chassis or recaros.
Just my personal opinion but I'd want one that at least had cup chassis and recaros. Ideally like climate too. Basically 182 spec in a 197.
Hang on? Don't these engines suffer from the cam chain stretch you talk about everytime something with the 3.2 V6 in is mentioned?
You will have done your research, is it not as common as first thought or is it a risk your willing to take?
I bet that next year in Le Mans that Dave will have had three more cars since the Golf and ended up in another BMW touring to carry a fridge to Le Mans.
Enjoy the Gold though mate. Looking forward to seeing the write up.
My local is a Flaming grill and one of the barmaids who is like a size 6 at most managed to do it. Nobody knows how, she must have hollow legs.
I couldn't do it that's for sure, I do see people regularly finish it though.
I saw that as it happened when I was on my little Sunday morning walk when nobody else was up. He was just casually driving it to the pits, I was thinking if that was me I'd of stopped and ran very quickly.
