Sure but Astra estates are shit.

Saw that coming the minute I posted the pic!

I could bring out the beast of a 1.8 Focus...

Can I participate?

hey mark, yeah what options and how much (i.e. what you get for the price!) - probably not ready to buy just yet - but maybe at the end of the year, so should probably catch up on it :D i might drag andyp out to the ace then, just got my bike out again for the year :O i presume you mean the bmw meet...

what's the specs on it mark? e39 is one of the cars i was considering buying, if i can drag myself away from the bikes long enough to look into it, that is

i think i remember you, was it a red convertible? i'll know if i see pics of the car...

wow that leather looks like modern leather interiors! (style wise and condition)

is it standard? how much was the car? do they rust like an e30 biatch?

ben, i turned up! but you had already pissed off to wherever it is you piss off to

I heard about the dog...how did you "find out"? was it a quick polish with the sleeve to clean the wheel...?

i don't really know much about bikes yet i'm afraid

but i do know that bmw's are generally more expensive, however i see your reasons for needing one (if it's becoming a bmw trike!)

p.s. i have a jap bike so i can't talk about the comfort argument

i know what you mean, i modded my e30 quite highly as you can see in the pic i mentioned above. Most people don't even believe it's an e30 any more!

woo, it's me

i might try that some time, haha - problem is i'm not that tall (5' 9") and the sv650s is pretty much just about the right height for me...sounds like the rockster might be a bit high, but i can always try it and see!

i quite fancy going round to dealers to try a sports bike, lol...

it sounds fun, i should go get a test ride on one

pity you aren't closer to london, i might be going to ace's tomorrow on mine!

nice! being unfamiliar with bikes, what kind of twin setup is that? it's not a V and it doesn't look parallel, is it some kind of boxer twin?

7.5k redline on a bike - wow that's like a car, lol!

oooh that is just such a nice colour...

cheers, guess i'd be forced to have a cab then (or a respray but i don't think i could be bothered)

bennyboy, got any more pics? that blue is nice, it's one i'd consider if i got another e30. does anyone know if it is only available on convertibles?

i think it looks good, and in any case it is reversible...

Epsom you say...

you gotta paint over the rust first...

takes a lot for a sport to be worth that much, that's all i'd say! (i can't tell the condition btw)

as do i...nearly there too! Ã‚£60 a year...and that's only cos it slips into the 600cc+ category at 645cc! Ã‚£45 a year if it was a 599c like many in that category! damn rip off

i think the transaction under question should be kept off-site, but from reading the title it seems like the thread was intended to be about something else - warning about a bad ebay seller (whether or not you are one - yet to be decided it appears?). i've seen threads before mentioning ebay sellers...

i've gone for a special paint that changes colour with the weather. I dont mean flip either. It's like heat sensitive and the whole car cjanges from one colour to another deending on the weather. LOL that reminds me of those 'Global Hypercolour' t-shirts from the early 90's! i had some of those (th...

yeah you need to have enough layers, certainly

I think brianmoore said that on average cars get a punture ever 80 000 miles... 95.7% of statistics you read are completely bollocks. How can you guess when you will get a puncture? I have covered 90k in two years in my van without a single one, but had two in less than three weeks in my Audi A3. l...

everytime you drive theres vibrations going thru the kit and as they are paper thin they just cant take the movement in my experience of fibreglass kits, it's not the kit itself, the fibreglass is pretty strong there (with respect to vibrations - but would crack rather than bend if it came to it, c...

fibreglass is very easy to make things out of, that's why :) just get a mould and lay it... problem is, it isn't flexible like the rest of the car. I had a fibreglass kit (same rear bumper and skirts as you gouki, but also had the rest of the kit) and blending it is not a good idea, that's where you...

the m3 should have better fuel economy than the 325i, the m20 isn't very good in that respect, if you've had an e36 before then you'll more than likely be happy, most of the cons that come up on the zone (when people ask this question about e30 vs e36) are looks & also it's less of a 'driver's car' ...

i think body coloured looks ok actually, but probably not on a standard mtech2 car (mine wasn't standard tho). i think black looks a bit odd cos it's like nothings there, just looks a bit strange...

on grey cars, body coloured i think looks ok.

I read the details here: http://www.dvla.gov.uk/forms/pdf/V10.pdf and if you look here: http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/howdoi_licence.htm You'll see that they say "When you use a motor vehicle on the road you must be insured against third party claims for death or injury and damage to property caus...

To clarify, if you were pulled in a car you don't own, your insurance isn't enough to cover you, it has to be already insured by the owner (this will most likely be the gist of what's in your policy). in fact, it's *only* if this is stated in your policy that it isn't enough to cover you - did anyo...

i guess the car not being registered in your name is another clause, just like the car already having insurance directly (so it may or may not have this clause depending on the company). FYI here's the PH thread: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=240317&f=10&h=0 you'll need to be a memb...

simon, it's only if your insurance states there must be another insurance policy directly on the car, that it matters...99% of policies specify this (if they even allow you to full stop), but as I read on PH, some people have gone through ALL their policy conditions, T&C's, everything....and nothing...

did you know that most companies insist that the "other" car you are driving has insurance? however there are a few that don't put this in their T&C's, meaning that you can drive the other car even if it doesn't have any other insurance on it (whatever other people say...i read about this on PH) As ...

someone on the zone's got that on a tourer, silver i think...
