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

Saw an old dude in an immaculate metallic grey Noble M12 or M400 in Cambridge, cool as fuck

@johnnettles2 browsing through Guy Allen's Instagram... Thought this would make nice garage poster for your ds

Renault 10 in the background. Used to have one, apt to reverse itself if pushed hard.

I think I need to put a portrait of Farage on my bonnet so that when they glance in the mirror to look behind other motorists instinctively recoil in disgust and pull over

Time to head home. Bonus knees!

Regrettably, this will only work 45% of the time. Worse still, you will make a lot of new friends, many of whom will drive black cabs. Try a picture of Dominic Cummings for maximum effect.

Can definitely think of worse ways to do a road trip. Is it a DB9?

Fitted the wheels that have been in the garage for about 2 years to the MX5.

Also adjusted the ride height but I've gone too low on the front. I need to raise it back up.

If it is, don't they do about 15mi to the gallon?

Thanks. It certainly is.

About 25mpg average on this journey of Autoroutes and Nationales

Hi, does anyone know of a good car electrician, that will come to you? Based in SE27. Have a possible bad connection on my AC. Been re-gassed and suspect part replaced. Still no joy!

Massive tank too I'm assuming.

Bit harsh.

I don't know about mobile, but there's a guy just outside M25 in your direction who is an absolute Aircon genius. Great website.

Love ATS DTCs

How is your windscreen not splattered with dead things?

So from the MPG you weren't driving ;) Safe journey.

Just the absolute best wheel

Picked this up yesterday. Bit of a project with a fair list of to-dos already.

Cracking on with the oily bits but also want to upgrade the stereo as the current one is a bit shagged. First the head unit - question is what is the forum approved period looking head unit? Needs Bluetooth connectivity for Spotify, calls, waze from my iPhone.

Acccceeeeeeeee

Lovely!

Looks fantastic! Older BMW are so great.

I've got this Continental headunit fitted in my R53 which has Bluetooth and gets the job done very nicely. There are fancier alternatives available but they're also much speedier. I think this was c.€120.

Heart says Blaupunkt Bremin SQR but wallet says something more like the Continental.

I have the Blaupunkt, it's menu system is, erm, challenging.

Can you make outgoing calls from the Continental? Or just answer when called?
