Welcome - Me, Gus, Ollie + a few others are on the shore also.

HB Duglet!

So the ad neglected to mention the huge amounts of rust in the doors. Ghey. No idea how it didn't fail a WOF on it. The guy was a cop - so much for honest. At the bare minumum it needs: The stuff i mentioned before - control arm whatever. 4 x new shocks 2 x new doors (or a shitload of bog) Brake pedal feels like sh*t Complete tidy New OBC Drivers elec window doesn't work Anyone have sport seats? Front drivers door doesn't close easily - any advice on that? Tappet noise is .. well REALLY noisey. Haven't opened bonnet yet - too scared.

17" isn't that huge - the MacBook Pro is so light: Chris: It's badass - really versatile editing/post prod machine - and portable. Adobe Suite 3 (intel based) really cranks now - photoshop used to be such a weak link on intel based macs. Its MUCH faster than on PC. We have an 8 core machine on order for Colour Grading/After Effects/Motion work - I'll let you know how that cranks - all our other machines (including my new work machine are 4 core) Don't think you'll see 4 core in a MBP until they get smaller/use less power for heat issues. Yes - we have unlimited Final Cut Studio 2 (got it yesterday) - but it notifies Apple and we'd break our volume licensing agreement.

Cool prizes from Bimmersport, Botany Motor Works & ELF. Be there!

I just got a Macbook Pro 17 " - 2.33 Ghz Core 2 Duo - it hauls ass. Except Apples are closer to 5k

I have a turbo 318iS that may suit your needs? A lot quicker than your Dad's car!

So much wrong

You mean a service?

I've towed circa 1800 kg braked with an E36 - it was awesome. Got me back from Taupo in under 3 hours. They still handle really nicely. E39 would work nicely - 528i upwards. If you must be 4x4 - the X3/5 are both serious cars and can do off road. The 3 is smaller - the 5 is bigger. Basically the 3 & 5 series of BMW 4x4s. But both are $$$ - i'd rather use a Jappa.

Yeah - I like the 2.7e motor. Should be decent on gas and low-revs = lasts FOREVER. Good for another 300k at least.

Cheers Ken - The reason I got an E28 is E30s are starting to get expensive. Plus its the kinda car that looks like most sh*t will just bounce off it hah.

I might add this is ANOTHER car bought totally sight unseen and a bit of an impulse buy. What should I check on on the E28? I'm familier with the motor - but nothing else really.

She thinks its pretty f**king ugly (not 100% wrong). But I've taken to it. E28 '88 525e manual. 2.7 manual goodness for the win - in Luxorbeige for 1200 bucks. Score. Only 300k on the clock - just run in. Now - it needs; Anyone got any recommendations on where to get these bits plus cost? Cheers

Sold in 3 mins - you guys really are desparate for gearboxes!

Make me an offer before I chuck it in the bin. Was on my 318iS turbo and an input bearing appears to be lunched as there is play in the input shaft. I guess if you know what you are doing or have gearbox hookups you could repair it. Is suitable for the series.

Lies - I was looking at buying some? SP Tyres are the importer - perhaps check with them.

a cool 1.5k pretty much at deschlers for that - shotgun not hah.

Or Dunlop Formula R or Direzza Race varietys

No - You can't open the throttle any more than it will mechanically open (and if you could it would start to close)

more likely the 525 doesn't have enough power...LSD my ass.

My new driving hero - that's racing. Seriously - he just doesn't brake! Badass

I have ireland engineering urethane - works good and is cheapcheap

You can have mine if you pay for yours to get painted BrilliantRot
