Ha ha, that would be me ;)

Oh but Gally, it is! Thats half the problem for me. The M3 is simply too capable, & too fast to have fun in on the road imho :dapprove: At low speeds its like driving a rocket powered truck, everything is obscenely heavy, so commuting in traffic is quite frankly awful. Once you're moving its...

lol, thats obscene!! 52k miles a year, every year, for 14 years :S

I prefer the looks of the 5dr actually, think the 3dr looks a little ungainly from the side. Re: it being a keeper, i think its fair to say that each time i buy a car i think i'll settle down with it, but then another bargain comes up that i cant resist :o I hate the idea of depreciation, so...

The write up that im sure you’ve all been waiting for!! Well some of you, mostly those who actually went on the trip that have been looking forwards to a giggle at our own stupidity!! Or, for those that were simply pissed from the moment we left England, to when we dumped you back at your house...

Yeah, seals a bit naff, need to pull tyhe light apart and get the hardryer/silicone sealant out i think. Ah see, i prefer the earlier wheels to the later ones!! Took a while to clean though :S BMW - being collected by the new owner tonight. Didnt even advertise it lol, bar on here. Trophy -...

lol, i could have used them a few more times in my description tbh, although at the moment, the noise is still quite discreet, which i quite like. Nothing worse than a loud exhaust on the motorway (old age kicked in yo), ie the clio with its BTB ... Why thank you, i too like the silver, blue...

So last Saturday (30th July) i went to look at an S2000. Unfortunately however, not only was it a shed (disappointing as it was a Honda main dealer), i also realised that ive been very much spoiled by the quality interiors of the Germans for too many years, & the Honda simply didnt cut the...

I generally change cars every 3-6 months or so ... but ive owned my Trophy for close to two years. Its brilliant. The nimbus 197 cup with recaros? 3 weeks before i sold it. Says a lot i feel.

Trophy.

DSG Mk5 :)

Course not lol, it cost roughly what the Trophy/330i are worth. If i had to put more in, i wouldnt have bought it!! :)

Try cruising at less than a ton fourty?

<3 the lolvo

From memory (& having been absolutely r4ped by it in my Trophy), it wasnt particularly standard lol. Spat flames iirc.

Decent M3's are much less than £8-11k btw.

About the same as a decent 197 Cup. But you get better mpg in the ///M.

Nah, he bought some, but his 'mechanic' failed to realise you need a winding tool for the rear caliper pistons, & he didnt have one. So ill be doing it over the weekend, along with a good clean. Is filthy already!! Dont mind too much though, means i can give it a good once over. Have to help...

:o Not a problem whatsoever!! Shame im too gay to have one myself lol. Great spec though, id want 18's next i think. 19's look great if you are going for the blingy look, but i think from a driving perspective, the 18's are reputedly better. If/when i have another one, it will be manual, with...

Lol, knowing how many clio parts he's bought off me now, id say the coilpack ;)

As far as im aware, that only affects the MK4 Golf & TT, not the newer shape ones. Hopefully lol!!! Have already checked though, Golf will fit a fridge in it ;) But no, havent spent all the house deposit on a golf!! Hopefully selling the 330i & bits of (if not all) of the Trophy will cover...

This is true, although you had to drive it really. Mike started to get pi55ed on the boat. At 9am lol. Great barge though, was very tempted to buy it myself to use as a shed. But i have nowhere to store it :dapprove: Gaz. Get it bought!!!

Ha ha, though you might bring that up :o Other than my fiesta 1.6si from 18-21, the current Trophy is the longest ive owned a car by a very long margin!!! Not gonna argue with that tbh, but priorities have to change. The money ive spent on the Trophy in two years would have given me a nice...

Does the flapper mod make it noisier all the time, or just when you boot it? Just out of interest like.

Auto one. 4wd though which is a bonus. Tell me about it. I've been buying, tinkering with, & tracking cars for over 12 years now, the money ive spent is quite disgusting lol. I've got to cut it back, other 'more important' things to pay for!!

I totted up the money ive spent on the Trophy over 2 years, realised i could have a house deposit by now, & subsequently bought a Golf to replace both. At 30, my priorities simply HAVE to change. I await the flaming, but sometimes you just have to grow up lol.

Quite possibly the former. Although its more of a lazy, fast hatch :o http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?649461-51-Facelift-330i-Sport-Touring-£3-395

Looks great!! lol, at McLaren's marketing photos. Proving a point much?

Was 3 weeks last time, but thats purely as i failed to take it home to Cornwall. IR muppet. Out of sight, out of mind!!

Might have to tale you up on the brake pads Russ, depending on whether Rich manages to sort them out tomorrow or not ... But yes, it is a shame for the Shed, but i think it needs to be done for a bit. I've fallen out of love with it lately & absence usually makes the heart grow fonder!! Should...
