    Quick rant thread.

    Instagram is coming to an end. Implementing the same BS "We control your content" that Facebook has. Will have to find another great place to look at car pictures whilst taking a sh*t now. I have never seen so many cars with damage as I have in DC. Nearly every car has hammered bumpers front and rear. I have watched how it happens. Everyone just uses the cars in front and behind to feel their way into car parks. It is worse than you think too. I have seen some near new cars with a ton of damage. Friends of ours said to never buy anything nice whilst living in DC. Prob just get some 2002-2005 E46 330i that I won't care about. Dime a dozen here.

    Quick rant thread.

    Facebook being Facebook is spamming my feed with what and who it feels is relevant. Getting it 100% wrong as per usual, by showing me all these whinging posts from people I don't know, of which someone I bearly know has clicked "like" on their misinformed anti right rant. My rant is more directed at facebooks shitty filtering. Doesn't place my sisters post in my feed at all. But does chuck in some halfwit never heard of DJs post about something I have never mentioned or participated in. Using Facebook less and less. It's a good thing.

    Facebook. Then having Facebook flooded with lefty anti Key tears and rants because they didn't get their sports logo as a flag. The Trump voters of NZ.
  4. It was good times between 97 and 2003. Mostly harmless. Then fast cars got cheap.
  5. It was when they really started cracking down on "Boy Racers". Killed the scene off for quite a few years. 2006-2010.
  6. Woh. Overseas and only just read about this. Very harsh even when adding the previous convictions. I know a guy who ran from the police for 45mins running multiple road blocks finally getting spiked. Should have looked up to see Eagle sitting there. He got a slap on the wrist and less community service than this guy. Lost his license for 6 months but got a work permit. Nothing more. He was heavily involved in illegal drag racing and had been caught running from the police once before. Tickle for one person. Kick in the nuts for another. No consistency.
  7. They get snapped up so fast over here. Everyone is all Hyped up over them. Every auto mag you read seems to have a "Best Drivers Car" article that features the E30 M3. Everyone seems to think they will drive just like the DTM cars they remember seeing on TV.
  8. What you should be wondering is how you can drive this race car on the road legally.
  9. Welcome to the internet.
  10. Baby sh*t Yellow is my least favorite. Reminds me of when people painted there cars Burnt Orange and Gold.
  11. How I wish my E30 was that tidy. Almost angry that it is a 318 and not something better haha.
  12. If you can wait a few months I can sort you one from the US once I am there.
  13. Possible. All dependent on grip levels. If there was traction loss with the old tyres and none with the new etc... With traction control on the vehicle may have limited power if the older tyres were starting to loose grip upon acceleration. This would increase 0-60 times.
  14. Average English. Not hot. They are throwing her in because she is a female that is good with cars. Being German she will be awkward. Even Vicki from 5th gear is awkward and she's a pom who's been in the game forever.
  15. May 8Th with 16 episodes. Is good news. Though I think Sabine won't be any good.
  16. Yeah watched that this morning. Just replace all the old suspension with Spec E30 stuff. A few of the BMW sites actually sell the spec E30 package. R888's work well on E30's. The series runs them and they are great on the road and track and won't murder your wallet. You will need to buy a bushing kit after a bit though.

    People at Xmas time.
  18. Shot out for lunch today from Albany to Ponsonby. Pulled up behind a van that was doing 85kph in the center land past Wairau. Something wasn't right though. It was tailgating the car in front so bad I told my friend who was driving to back off and change lanes. That's when I realised the van was being towed. We quickly passed this rolling death trap. The tow rope of which had been broken and rejoined in the middle was about 2.5 meters long. Staring at this sh*t in amazement I was shown the middle finger from the driver. The van then decided it wanted to change lanes and started changing before the car was ready. Shifty as. It gets worse. Just ahead I see another POS van tailgating a crap old Ford Falcon. Thought sh*t no way. Yep. Being towed with an even shorter cheap rope that had been looped many times to give it enough strength. They happily struggled over the harbor bridge. Called *555 to report them but many had beaten me to it. I did mention the plates on the cars looked suspicious as they did not suite the years and on the two cars were only held on by one bolt each. This sh*t exists on our roads.
  19. Totally agree. I don't even like road bikes but was amazed at the racing in MotoGP. Those final 3 races!
  20. Great car. If I go past Bavarian I will show Ernst.
  21. Sad to see your old cars sometimes. Especially the ones you put a lot of time and effort into.

    Quick rant thread.

    Over the road from me there is a guy who owns an old MX5 with a horrible sounding exhaust (even for an MX5). We have nick named him 'Throttle Response'. As he likes to blip the throttle between 5 and 10 times as fast as possible when exiting and entering his driveway. I wish his shitty little car would die already.
  23. Each E60 is different. There seems to be plenty out there that are missing half the M features. Most common is the sports seats are missing. And they are a must have.
  24. Just import them from VAC Motorsport in the US.

    His and hers

    Nice one. Oh extra points for getting an M3 and not an M4.
