^ reminds me of when DB released DB Bitter. They had a try it out day at the uni quad and rolled up a tanker. Everyone had the squirts next day...

Coffee and cake - even better sitting in a cafe in the summer with a beach view :-)

Ok so maybe I'm just an idiot but has anyone else here had trouble using the e46 jack? Brake pad sensor went the other week so bought a new one from Gavin at Euro (cheers dude) and went to fit on the weekend. It;s the rear one on the drivers side. I get the tools and the jack out of the boot and decide to read the jack instructions as this is the first time I've seen a jack quite like this... I'm in my garage which has a painted concrete floor so meet the level ground criteria so proceed. I fit the jack and wind it a little. I loosen the wheel nuts then wind the jack to lift the car - and I do mean lift the car! Yes it lifts the rear drivers side wheel but it also lifts the front which I find a bit unusual. Then I hear a creaking noise which makes me pause and the jack slips taking a small divot out of my concrete floor and a chunk out of my side skirt Car moves 5 to 10 cm's across the garage floor too. Just glad I hadn't taken the wheel off yet. No way I'm trusting it enough to stick my head under! You can proceed to calling me a noob now

Blue right? Seen and liked :-)

Nice pocket rocket!

That is a big sucker! What happens when you get a flat tyre?

A little basic but I bolted L shaped brackets to the sub box then cable tied these to the child seat mount brackets in the boot. This way I can easily remove the sub box to get at the spare wheel. L brackets were available at Mitre 10 in the fencing section I think.

I find myself liking it despite the colour... Only warning flag for me are the tyres - had a set on a previous car and the wet performance was very poor.

^ Sounds like you do this a bit...

Maybe it's the police version of holiday surcharge? I pay more at the cafe during public holidays too.

Not sure that's true. Policing is not just a service but a business - in order to self fund to an extent. I think they'd lay staff off if they didn't pull in a certain amount of revenue on the roads. They'd simply say the requirement for the current level of policing has dropped so less staff required. They would not divert that resource to other criminal avenues.

My car came with an after market alpine hu: cde-9850ri Now someone has gone to the trouble of installing it so that the steering wheel controls still work which is great. However the unit is pretty old and I'd like to replace it with something that does usb and bluetooth. I'm hoping, naively maybe, that I can plug and play a newer Alpine unit without messing about with connectors etc... I was thinking this - http://abtec.co.nz/Alpine_UTE_42EBT_1_Day_Mad_Deals_ Does anyone know for sure if the alpine connectors have changed? Anyone know how the steering wheel control adapters work? Yeah I know I should pull it and have a look but I don't have the alpine removal tools and don't want to mess it up trying screw drivers etc. Cheers in advance :-)

Nothing wrong with the photos - it's a limited edition midget model

Very tidy!

Is that a fluffy lamb I spy...

Saw this at the mall

I like them. Wheels could be improved upon though.

If I was looking I'd go check it out. Lots of car for the money regardless of k's.

Saw it's sister yesterday at the euro club meet. Very similar colour.

Yeah should have been warm and cozy in it's garage.

Stance!

Think you need professional help... I'd recommend a psychologist.

You're mostly paying for the low k's on this example. Nothing else is really that special. Take it for a drive by all means and shop around.
