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

Word! If 28 Days Later happens I'm bagsying a seat in that

sweet. ex countryside alliance amberlamps / lost hiker recovery vehicle?

maybe its because i grew up next to the factory and used to see these everywhere, but when it comes to old 4x4s the Jap ones look loads nicer to me.
we have one at work thats ace for throwing round campus, but i think i'd even prefer an old jeep cherokee.

Goodwood sounds like fun. Zero pints for me but it does mean I can drive one person home. @BRM?

I'll stay down there.

I'm going to go with electricity company repair wagon.

Car has been lovely so far. However with an hour to go before i drove it to winter storage i was greated with this puddle under the car. Dident even have the time to check it out since i dont have access to the storage unit for another month or so. Plus i wouldent know what to anyways argh :)

Hopefully its coolant (did feel a little bit greasy tho but guess coolant can to?) and just a hose but the radiators have been a known issue with these cars so i guess spring service bill will tell me just how bad it is. Fingers crossed :/

Not the feeling i wanted before storing it tbh. Will mentally force myself into thinking how good it will be with the new wheels instead of this crap so i can sleep at nights .)

I do wish i was more of a car-guy right about now.

it's blue, it's coolant

Yeah i figured it was but its nice to be reinforced here, thx :)

That's coolant. I know a lot about coolant now. sob

Such a nice looking car.

Thank you! I agree and its still growing on me. Very happy i took the chance, thus far that is :)

Got myself another project! My first Bimmer, previous owner is local and owned the car from around 6 months old (previously a demo car I believe). Still wearing its original Norwich dealer plates too! It's been off the road for a year so needs some love but should be a nice cruise about in its standard guise.

ace! keep the steelies

That's quality. I love that gen 5 series.

Been reminiscing about my dad’s old Spacewagon. I can’t seem to find any pictures on line with the ‘Einstein’ (yes) sport body trim. Will see if I can uncover slme IRL photos.

Have to say I prefer the 3 series but it does bring back memories.

26mpg

Brick-shaped and heavy? My 255k mile Transit Connect does 45mpg commuting.

Cheers guys! Do love the shape of the 5 series especially the front end. Steelies are staying, tempted to just run it standard but my part of me wants to lower it on shiny wheels..

Has anyone got any idea where I can park my car in north London for little/no money? Rinsed my friends permits but I've gotta stick around another week

Ex western power maintenance vehicle.

They’re just locking tool chests that can be accessed from outside. It’s kitted out with a whole load of cool stuff though including AC power, hydraulic winch, diesel space heater in rear, proper work lights and some other stuff I’ve not figured out yet.

Nice one. I'd love to get one of these in black.
