MD13

Downside - I'm assuming these engines are coming out of M3's that people have done stupid things to...

Safety? Get her a bog standard 520 - e34 with an auto box. Big, heavy and slow :-)

^ For anyone that hasn't seen it the Crazy Hot matrix is must watch (youtube).

Pics of your HK monaro please!

So much cooler than a M5. I'm sure this would bring a grin to your face everytime you open the garage!

Re-shelling???

Looks very pretty and I'm sure it goes like a cut cat but why no carpet?

^ Is that a soarer made to look like an audi? Not sure this is the right category for that thing...

You mean this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HPcAvIbNsk

80's cool.

Cake

^ Snow or Coke? ;-)

Having one of my kids spontaneously tell me they love me without wanting something. Sex :-)

I so want to run these people over... But that would damage my car :-(

Manual to me means a gearbox where I have to use my foot to depress the clutch to engage a gear. I don't want any help with that thank you. My rant - Vodafone.

That cam cover looks like a computer modeled image - unreal!

I can't imagine Clarkson landing any heavy blows. More likely a little pushing and name calling - tall people like doing that... Most men would just blow it off. From what I have read Clarkson dobbed himself in and apologised to the Producer. On a side note I worked for a small software firm in the 90's under a scottish lady who was famous for decking the sys admin after an argument. Didn't seem to affect her career...

True - but you did see Ashkan's photo right?

Dude I was taking the piss

Your approach was wrong dude - you tell her she's gorgeous and doesn't need makeup at all as no improvement is possible. Then she may or may not stop looking at makeup vids, spend less on it etc. but you'll also get some brownie points (important for us married types but perhaps unnecessary for you young people just yet...)!

Walnut blast??? Sounds like something you'd get 'done' at a beauty salon

Gearbox and diff ok though?

Rare 4wd...

Yeah wouldn't worry about the engine swap - coilovers are certed. He says some of the work was done by HellBM so thats a good thing.
