Re: Goodbye and thanks for the help
A petolhead a good choice and on lpg enjoy your purchase
I like Beemers they are proper german cars ie big well built rear wheel drive and fun to drive
I don't like the borat or is it bora one bit in my opinion it was just another way for vw to draw more money from the golf by slapping a boot onto it and giving it square eyes

Aw - thanks Mate!GeordieBoy wrote:Only pr!cks drive BMW's. Welcome to the club.
I see from your signature you enjoy a few motors! I also have owned a Trooper among other toys and a rather basic 520i in the past. My other side is VAG so I have run a lot of VW's and Audi's ... I do have a 1988 VW Caravelle/Camper stored away for the summer time too!

Re: Goodbye and thanks for the help
The beemers I have are mainly for track/drift days than daily driving. I have 2 328's atm, broke the clutch on 1, so bought another instead of fixing it. Keeping it for spare parts or a project and complete'y strip it for track days. The 328 I have that works atm, has the M3 LSD fitted, along with front/rear braces, X brace and coilovers. Its very hard driving, espec over speed bumps, but has amazing grip in the dry. The Trooper I bought as it uses veg oil and I wanted to get a trailer to tow my 328 to track/drift days. But I never bothered getting a trailer, just drove the car there and back.
I quite fancy a 5 series myself, would love M5, but would settle for 540 or something.

Computers (ordinateurs) are men, in French. Electronics (electroniques) are female.
Stupid idea, giving gender to nouns. Seriously, WTF is that about?

I think it was lee mack the commedian said that he was corrected for calling a pie la pie instead of le pie, he said that he wanted to eat it, not f**k it.
