    New M5 Review

    http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-video/bmw-m5-...review-feature/
  2. Haha way to hijack a thread about a book a car enthusist might like,go start your own bookclub Btw best autobio is prob agassi ,dont need to be a sports lover just an amazing life and well written
  3. Just clicked up 100k and due oil and filter,what else should be done, at this stage apart from airfilter plug check etc logbook is in japanese so thats no help Seems to be running well apart from fuel consumption around town which seems a bit high at 13 525 auto 2003 dual vanos if that makes any difference
  4. Because I never find time to read I Started as usual from back and read in reverse the sort of book you can pick up read a chapter in 3 mins and put down again, short interesting snippets that don't have to be read cover to cover Learnt a few things about the way TopGear works behind the scenes. Available in ebook or audiobook (to be listened to while at work for those that don't have time to read) at all the usual sources
  5. Its impressive but its really just stunt work with a specially prepared vehicle,multiple shots and heavy editing.His race results in rallies are pretty crap to be honest. Watch loeb doing it live on a real road with ever changing conditions and a car thats losing brakes or tyre airpressure or maybe lost a few gears takes more skill in my opinion Same thing with the guys that do mountain bike street hopping tricks,football juggling,basketball trick shots,theyre more circus performers than actual sports players
  6. bit vague,electronics,metal what? weight would be your biggest problem I would of thought.Cant you post them back home while your there instead.

    Fitness

    [quote Everyone's basis for fitness is individual and according to what they want or want to achieve. yep totally and where you started from,being in the airforce with all that PT training I think you probably already knew the answer to your question.Seriously doubt your a lazy person with that sort of past so its probably more time management thats slipped,just never sleep then you got 8 spare hours to workout,plenty of time for gym then. quote I know theres a few keen cyclists on here haha. Don't join them ,theyre a pain to car loving road users,Hastings has just divided its roads up into 3 lanes just for them and were none too happy,someone is gonna be hit and its the cyclist who will come off worst.

    Fitness

    Your born with either fast twitch muscle or not,your never going to change from naturally lean long distance style runner to sprinter no matter how hard you try. but in reply to original post ,it depends on whether you want weight loss or fitness increase, Simple weight loss is really just burning more calories than you consume and if you compare rates quoted on all the equipment running burns more than cycling or rowing for same time dependant on speed and incline has the downfall of being harder on joints etc (I never run on treadmill without incline of 2 min,flat 0 just seems to be too unrealistic) So you find what you prefer and fits your time and try to mix and match, personally being 47 I finding the running is starting to make my body joints suffer and reckon that stretching and pilates yoga or martial arts has a lot of potential. Don't laugh try to sit thru a yoga lesson its harder than it looks and you'll be buggered at the end.Nzers are all generally way to unsupple and you notice the fit old buggers are the ones that are actually more nimble or supple.Look at those old asians market gardeners. Watch an old person try to shuffle under the steering wheel and even Im finding I draw breath and give it conscious thought now. Bob Charles was the man,stretched supple seems to be crucial to good health.
  9. 330 e46 auto has lost reverse,been quoted 3500 to repair the fault and 6500 to recon, Surely there are better options avail

  12. would one of the new 3rd party download services like leechpack protect you,you are downloading your torrents etc to a 3rd party server in another country first then accessing them from your own private account with simple http download managers.
  13. You could wipe a bit of silicon rtv over the open plug, It would be waterproof when set and is easily picked out with a small screwdriver if you ever wanted to reconnec t
  14. 106 on a motorway with no oncoming traffic, You Heathen "Bailiff Take him outside and whack his peepee" just be thankfull they were there to save lives and not just revenue gather Its legal but completely undefendable by the camera operator as being there for the said purpose of introduced Speed Cameras to save lives Ditto for the pole mounted ones, Thanks alot Jenny Shipley

    Red bull

    If Red bull keep dominating this year i'm sure the FIA will pull a rule change to slow them down, like they did in 03 and 04! Maybe sooner than you think http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2011/6/12186.html http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2011/7/12280.html

    Red bull

    Loving the dominance,good to see another team have a decent turn at the top. All that money at ferarri too? Never rated webber at all and still undecided about vettel but love to see hamilton struggle,those british commentators are so biased towards him its sickening. Enjoying the season immensely,no race is over till the bitter end,pirellis have made such a difference to the race in general
  20. Does anyone run any of the custom nav disks, ie voice alerts night mode speedcameras boot logos etc. Are there any issues or problems. Did you modify your own iso or did you download a custom image.

  22. trying to change a mk2 GPS to a mk4 so need to extend the aerial from the trimble to the new integrated mk4. real part is 61 12 8 372 410 but if anyone knows where I could even get one made up, smb connectors male to female about 1.5m to 2m should be long enough.
