Apex 693 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 When you put a wanted topic on a car forum and a member PM's you a month later with details of a guy who might be selling and you go and see him and make an offer and get a cool car for good money. So much nicer than dealing with Trade-Me etc. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted June 23, 2015 Congratulations Hans. I wish you many happy years together. Off to Europe too... Contiki ends in Amsterdam so that should be interesting, then its off to Nurburgring, then Octoberfest, then down to Rally Corsica. Just had a painkiller and steroid injected into my spine... first time I have been able to comfortably tie my shoes since wrecking my back in February. So. Thanks pain killers and cheers ACC.

Contiki? Thought you were over 30? Be ready to feel like the dustiest old prick on the bus. I felt old when I went and I was only 25. The 33 year old guy felt like he was someones Dad that had come along. Edited June 24, 2015 by driftit 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Just had a fresh from Germany AMG C63 come in to work. Twin turbo 4L, so nice. It did have something interesting though... red weaved carbon fiber in the dash. Where have i seen that before? Ah yes, the E36.

May look at other options too though, just seemed like the cheapest way to see all the cultural bulshit without too much effort.. then I can go to the Nurburgring and experience the real Germany!!

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 TBH do look further than a Contiki. I did a 35 day one. Spent extended periods of time in locations where most contikis just blasted through. A lot of wasted time on the Bus. Most of the time was spent drinking. Can't remember large portions of the trip. They do try and put you with people your age if possible. I am planning to go back to Europe again in the next few years to do it properly. I felt like the contiki was just a tease. Half the time I had no idea where I was. Orange Day in Amsterdam was an amazing experience. Well that is what I am told I experienced. Beam me up. Back in London all of a sudden. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 Fair enough, I did few weeks in Asia with way too much partying and I'll admit it, I'm not 21 anymore, needed to detox at least once a week and the stuff coming out the front was thicker than the stuff coming out the back, lost 5kg and felt like death... but it was the best trip I have ever done. As Mr Chow would say. But did you die? I hear there are more flexible options, Ideally I wanted to do a Renault Euro Lease, that is a brand new Megane RS for unto 6 weeks for less than a rental car, but then figured I could not take it on the Nurburgring and didn't want to leave it it certain places... then looked at buying a hack and driving around, but again, seemed like a lot of stress. I could just go it alone with my back pac and see what happens, will rent a "ring car" for the time I'm there and hitch hike around Corsica for the WRC.

kulgan 1042 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 After driving the 750i for just over a week I had both flat tires on the 740i fixed today and driving it around I'm reminded how much I love this car. I was contemplating selling it to buy a smaller car as my daily and using the 750i as a weekend car but after not driving it for a week and getting back into it today I've decided that I'll be keeping it as my daily. It feels so much more grounded and in touch with the road than the 750i. Who needs a smaller fuel bill anyway. Suspension mods are most definitely on the to do list for the 750i now! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
