I just drive mine how I feel like it. Engines are generally reliable and they're also pretty cheap to replace if they let go. I'd be a lot more careful with my engine if they where very expensive to replace but they're not so its fine. Just service it, allow it to get some temperature before...
I'm glad its raining. Means people won't notice my car is dirty. I haven't got time to clean it, however it will have a brand new Aux belt and Kit so it won't sound like a Mini Cooper S lol
Driven not detailed....
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?
