Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I scored an OEM bonnet, made a huge difference IMO and I'm loving it.

Achtung Sturmpanzerwagen!?

Mine? Less so now, but yeah still a touch of blitzkrieg about it. :)

Fantastic - very staff car.

You'll never stop enjoying this.

In other news, my brother's being posted to Germany for 18 months. He already has a plan for importing LHD cars...

I'm starting to get really comfortable driving LHD. However, my co-pilot/wife isn't...

I took some bird out years ago when I first had the M3 and she asked me how long I'd had it.

Apparently I was driving down the middle of the road.

It does make you a significantly more observant driver though.

after getting these new tyres fitted i noticed the nose was really diving and the tyre seems to be rubbing on something but only on full left lock - figured my shocks were gone and prepared myself to upgrade to some koni heavy tracks. All good right?
Wrong. turns out the shock had actually sheared off from the chassis mount! oops, and seems like it may have been this way for some time but hey-ho
£42.50+vat to weld up and reinforce, it's going in monday
seeing that photo from underneath makes me really want to polish it all up nice and shiny

Seems legit.

Tonka Toy!

Do you still trust your speedo??
:D

i'm going to check it with a tom tom this weekend but it was out a bit before anyway so technically 7.5% increase should make the speedo spot on now

Motorway nosh?

Er didn't they notice that when they swapped the tyres?

Also off road tyres are noisy....

Edit - looking at the crack, that has been there for some time, is it a common fault? When was it MOT'd.

Nah, Miata was a toy. Full suspension upgrade (Tein coilovers), swaybars, etc.. full 4 point cage. etc..

It was going to be track day car but then it got totalled.

Absolutely garish but I loved it anyway.

Highway 69...

MOT in December, who knows when it happened but anytime between Then and Thursday ! tyres are noisy but they feel great :)

That G is badass. Well jell.

Hmmm:

Never posted a pic of mine, a very fresh, low mileage e39 msport.

I've just moved back to London from Ireland, bought the car while I was home so decided to bring it and re-register it on UK plates, should have them end of this week.

Always liked the e39, just wish it had a bit more poke sometimes.
