Essential 340i Trip around the Citeh!

[BIFCAIDS]

Last night I decided to go out for some fresh air, to test my eye sight, along with picking up a parcel and going for a walk on my own socially distanced around Manchester Citeh Centre.

Car is near perfect now, I'm looking at fitting a Quaife in the near future and then just enjoying it.

There is something about driving around an empty city with the right music on that's quite cool.

I don’t really understand the pictures, can’t actually see the car.

but from what I can see, it looks good! 👍

Apparently this is what photography types do, so I'm just trying to be down with the kids.

What, no shots under the arches at Castlefield? Or down the back streets of Ancoats?

Shame on you.

Car is looking great!

Keep meaning to go into town to take some photos whilst it’s quiet.

Castlefield was a no go, I got there and its just fenced off. As for Ancoats I'm going to try there another night, when I have more coffee.

Don’t forget to go in your cropped jeans.

There's an alleyway just off Mount Street which is alright for pics if you reverse in

Also, Murray Street in NQ is great if you can get that bridge in on a wide angle lense

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Only problem with round the NQ and Ancoats now though is it's littered with roadworks or scaffolding.

True. Fuckin gentrification, ruining out photography shots. I've not been to the top of the arndale carpark for a while, but Manc definitely has some great industrial backgrounds to use.

Well the first pics were in the NCP New Bailey in Salford (the art instillation looking one) and the artistic ones where down New York St.

I’ve always wanted a VR6. Like, forever.

Great shots. Car looks lovely too. I'd have one of these over an M140i all day long. Much nicer looking car IMO

I've had 3 now, and I am determined to get another mk3 golf. There's just something about them. I want an R32/R36 converted one. Without those shitty plastic arch trims

Thanks, also the added bonus of not being 10 a penny on drip.
