I did that with my clio and got and extra £1000 !
Cheers, well the SMG takes a little bit of practice.... best not the view it as an auto but treat it like a manual without out clutch pedal if that makes sense.
In auto, lifting off the acc pedel seems to prompt a gear change earlier/smoother and in manual mode if you are just cruising about...
Cheers all !
Well, that 35mpg did include about 30mins of cruise control at 50 (road works with specs)
I couldnt decided whether to have a manual or smg but decided to give it a try... looks smart too and tbh im already liking it alot.... nice novelty.
Haha Naith, made me laugh.
Thanks for your appreciation guys.
Cant wait to get in it again.... trying to think of a need to other than for the hell of it.
Has all the toys i can think of..
SMG, TV, sat nav, Bluetooth & iPhone kit, iPod and usb connection, Double optic headlights and heated...
Well, it will be doing 4-5k a year so no biggy really. Big service 5k ago and tax is only £215 so cant think of much cost this year anyway. Insurance not too bad either now im the magic 25.

BMW E46 M3 SMG. 54 plate, FBMWSH, 40k.
Always loved these and just thought "you only live once".
It does everything so effortlessly. Drove up from Leeds to Edinburgh yesterday and nearing home thought it give it some and christ does it move.
Every gear it just...
If any one is interested.... a deal which i think is very good and unbeatable.

Anyone fancy one at that...
Thanks for your thoughts guys.
Was going to sell it after xmas and move on to my next project, working my way to a Vantage but ive come to love it so much i might just keep it and save the hassle.
So solid, comfortable and goes like a missile while sounding awesome and does all i ask of it...
Haha, the very one.... passengers love it and proceed with a 80's businessman impression.
Oh, and its steptronic with sports mode so can still have fun when you want to.
Ok, so it was a little more than £400 but i'll explain.
After writing off my clio, i bought a Mk3 Golf GTI for £300, gave it a wash and sold it for £900..... added an extra £100 to that and bought this for a just over a grand.
Therefore only spending £400. Thats how i like to look at it anyway...
Sorry to hear bud.
Wrote mine off in May. Was a 54 plate with 65k. Got £5300 for it so well happy. Has worked out pretty well. Bought an in-between car, sold it for a profit and now have a V8 Beemer haha. Onwards and upwards...ish.
Well, ive been to a few middle eastern countries and it doesnt really surprise me. Alot of dodgy driving.
But id bet that most of these videos are from Saudi...... they like to let there hair down !
Once was offered serious money in exchange for my girlfriend by a Saudi. Was bloody funny...
Yeah, our cost were around £3500 for 2.
Got the car for very little but spent a huge chunk of money living it up in 5 star hotels after a hard few nights in the middle of nowhere or driving for 32 hrs non stop. Loads of camping done though during the 7 weeks
A little bit on spares, lights...
Im selling 4 x New Dunlop SP Sport 9000s on ebay and someone has asked me if they will fit a 182. I should really know eh !
The sizes are 225/40/ZR16
Thanks guys
Welcome mate.... I was born in Dusseldorf and grew up outside in the coutryside. Loved it.
Does Switzerland actually let you drive cars !! What a nightmare it was driving through there. Got caught speeding more times than i can count.
P.s. Was in Bern last year during the Mongol Rally. Nice...
You can be the best driver in the world, but how can you be sure someone doesnt lane change suddenly as youre houring passed them while undertaking.
Wont last long driving like that !
Crazy.
Nice one mate..... i got 8 punctures and took a month longer. I went the long route though.
I want to do it again but feel i escaped death too many times to risk doing it again hehe
