Leeds_182 E34 Daily

Saw the advert pop up on Northern Retro the other day, but glad you've decided to keep it (for now!)
I spent my teenage years in my dad's M-reg 520i Touring including driving it a few times as a 17 year old.
They sound surprisingly nice for a big old bus with that 6-cylinder engine as well.

 

[leeds_182]

Sold.

 

[cat171]

Lol!

 

[Djw John]

What costs you more, the insurance policy or the admin charges?

I’m up to about £150 in admin fees now!

 

[Djw John]

Lols!! It's an illness for sure

 

[leeds2592]

Sold.

FLOL.

What's next?

 

[imprezaworks]

Clio

 

[leeds_182]

I right want my old 940 back!

Dont you fancy something that you like this time? Seems a bit pointless swapping every other week. Unless you dont like cars.

I like cars, life’s too short to stick with the same one. The 940 is a great summer bus.

 

[Cookie]

What's next then? Thundersley Invacar?

I know you should never go back but it’s looming large on the horizon...

 

[Cookie]

Is it your mission to just buy awful cars (as it is mine to buy broken ones) ?

 

[bashracing]

Get the 940 back and do the engine properly

The 940 is awful? What!!! You have no taste!

I thought I did a good job with the mbc...

It's atrocious. Not even sorry

 

[leeds_182]

It’s one of the best cars I’ve done and it looks boss. Amazing how different peoples opinions are on cars.

It looks like a mid 80s soccer mom has a pill addiction, tbh

I liked that just so I could unlike it, because admin needs to add a “not like” button

 

[Matthew]

I think it’s the sticker on the windscreen making it look a bit 90s max power. Looks ok other than that IMO.

Good lad! I took the sticker off at the end. Just had the ‘Swedish metal’ one on the boot. I’m off to view on Sunday. If it’s how I left it I’ll be bringing it home.

 

[Matthew]

Cheaper than what you sold it for Jim?

 

[leeds_182]

Cheaper than what you sold it for Jim?

Yeah, of course.

 

[Matthew]

Good stuff. Keep doing it that way and eventually you’ll be making money on these things.

Noooo, I have broken even on the last few though. Only loss in the last few years was the Ibiza.

 

[Matthew]

I’ve not done too bad myself. Made money on both the MX5 and the Z4.

Yeah, I might have to sort out a proper install for that!

 

[cat171]

😂

 

[S-JM]

I for one welcome the return of the bass boost bus!

I'm afraid to say that I'm with @Cookie in that I just don't get the 940 thing at all. I drove to Italy in a 740 and Scotland in a 940. Bloody awful things in my view. You've had some lovely motors, but this one I just can't see the appeal in. Same for the BMW though to be honest, as much as that will upset some.

Each to their own and all that though. If you're having fun, who cares what I think.

Not me.

 

[v15ben]

Hope you get the 940 back, probably my favourite of all the 700 cars you've owned since I joined CS!

 

[Djw Dave]

You've got proper issues. Always great cars though haha

 

[Donny_Dog]

Yeah, I might have to sort out a proper install for that!

You mean, my boost gauge? And my boost controller....

I think the 940 looked good, but you, look awful.

 

[RMDavis]

I still miss your supercharged Saxo! :weary:

It was the shizzle!

 

[leeds_182]

Old 940 having a run out today. Feels fast at the side of the new one, but then again, so does continental drift.
