StylesM5

Lots of HP in an SUV = gay. My Brother in law was recently looking at Cayenne S and Turbo. I drove both and the non-turbo S was the much better car. That's what he ended up buying.

You could have 2 E39 M5's for that money

If you're seriously keen, let me know. But at $2200 you can't really go too wrong either way. I'll tell you now, things like bushes, gear linkages will be tired and sloppy, but it will probably run sweet as a nut. Will need to spend a fair bit on it though if you wanted to get it mint.

I contemplated a 518 badge on the M5 once. My brother did have a 2.8 badge on his XJ12!

Yep, the M5 had heaps of crap in those areas too when I first got it. A regular good clean keeps it under control though.

Hang on, are we going down there or are you coming up here?

I smell a road trip coming on

Great sounds from some of the cars. Targa Clips Here

Here's a story. My old man had a good eye for cars when he was alive. In 1973 he bought Jim Richards ex 1972 XY Ph3 GTHO for $4000 (a sh*t load of money back then, I think he mortgaged us kids to do it!). He was constantly hounded by a guy in Invercargill to sell it to him so did in 1981 for $29,000. With the proceeds he bought a 1966 330GT Ferrari for $32,000. That car got sold back to the UK 5 years ago for $100,000. The irony is that the GTHO would now be worth over $500,000 if the buyer back in 1981 didn't turn it into a ball within a month of taking ownership. Dipshit!

Andy, how you getting back? Does the Jungle car need a run?

Bloody chuffed it went to a good home Nick, keep up the good work.

Found this on wikipedia "In 1996, a limited edition flagship GTS-R was created which came standard with the 5.7 litre V8, Tremec T56 six-speed transmission and Hydratrak LSD package. Available only in a polarising bright yellow colour (known as "XU-3 Yellah") with carbon fibre inserts and large rear wing, the GTS-R engine could be blueprinted for more power. 85 GTS-Rs were produced. " I would think the SC would detract from its originality though and therefore reduce its value. The seller emailed me back all defensive. "You have no idea what kind of car it is and we have had offers over $70000 for it. Please keep your un-knowledgeable comments to yourself." Fair enough I spose. What it says is that he needs more info in his ads if he wants to stop time wasters like me.

That shop is the consumate Aladins Cave. There are a number of SC'd M5's there too Cain. here

Andrew and I are working to get it to a place for storage where it is loved and kept running. When it gets here, I am more than happy for people to test ride it with me. Will hopefully be in Takapuna this week.

Just sent him this email "I think there is a typo in your ad. You have one too many zero's on the price." The 3 spoke alloys make it worth only $9k on their own.

I loved the original Gumball Rally movie. AC Cobra vs Ferrari Daytona. Alec Roy is a legend.

You could've bought it 6 months ago for under $5k

Good on ya boys. Doug would only bring out the Holden for me. Can't have swallowed enough!

Out of it, well done if it is a fake. In fact, well done either way!

Shudder!

This M Coupe Turbe http://www.bavariacars.com.au/article/?id=37 and http://www.bavariacars.com.au/article/?id=35 looks the biz

These for the E30 Nick?

Ouch, the breadvan backing into what looks like a Lotus or something was painful to watch. Driver of the Lotus was lucky

Dude.... just wait 50 years for Luxorbeige to be cool

Unless it's Gus and my old one that Nick has now, in which case the headliner is black and it's a 4 door / non M!!
