Cheers @hunter for filming the potato digging. No potatoes, just potato driving.

Heheh

My e36 is finally up for sale: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3059516252?bof=gaJGrWlR

Hi readers, I'm looking for a motorsport steering wheel for an e39 (1997), obviously has to be single stage airbag. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think an e38 steering wheel would do the job? Thanks

you need to post a price in the For Sales- Forum Rules

325i 4-door manual. Nice car. $26k? Anyone keen on a mint 325i Baur? I have to wonder if it is economically viable to hang on to it.

If you have multiple wheels, you can cert more than one set.

Today I disconnected the reverse bing wires. So simple yet so satisfying.

Boys and Girls, I present to you, the Datsun (that's Nissan for you young-uns) 240Z (HS30). Amazing styling, torquey low-tech unburstable L24 2.4 litre single-cam straight six with a couple of carbs (yeah before Fuel Injection was an everyday thing) producing 150hp, and in most cases a manual gearbox. Great looks, desirable, fun to drive with a short wheelbase and four wheel independent suspension, two doors. They hailed from the early 70's, and by the time the mid-late 80's arrived, you could find them in the classifieds (before we had the interweb) for about $5000-6000. An awful lot of car for the money. Everyone was busy living the dream - even after the '87 (stockmarket) crash, and those wanting a shark were buying JDM 280ZX off of dealer's yards for the standard $12,995 as they were 'better', and had 5 speed gearboxes. About 5 guys in the team I worked with back then had 280ZX's, one even had two! Never mind that they were self-lightening and set about disolving by about 1995. Back to the 240Z. Thirty years later there's only ONE 240Z on Trade Me. Dealer's price, $89,990. And it's a left-hooker! A $40-60k pristine M325i looks like pretty good value to me, I know which one I'd rather be driving (much as I love the 240Z and enjoyed driving them back in the day). https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/other/listing/2869915414 "I can't understand why 240Z's are so pricey. They used to be cheap". Same applies to Ford Escorts, Toyota AE86, Holden Monaro, XA/XB/XC Coupes, Toyota Celica, you name it. 80's Ladas are still cheap if you can find one 😊

Search is over. Cheers

Nice line up at HD this week.. Some oldies but goodies too..

Itbs make a great noise, but a very low bang for the buck, and can actually lose power if done wrong. Unless you have a set of s62 itb's lying around, or money is no object, I wouldn't recommend it. If money is no object these are good; https://racehead.com.au/product/bmw_m60_m62_v8_complete_itb_kit_open_trumpetpet/ Biggest gains you can get on this engine is good headers, and bigger cams. Neither is cheap
