My new toy!!!... for today only

Post Sat Feb 12, 2005 1:51 pm

A guy i know through work is interested in buying a car from me, he's borrowed it for the day to show his wife and in return he's left me this to get about in. His parting sentance was.... i've just filled it up with petrol so go and have some fun in it!

I'm just trying to convince my right hand that it's got to change gear now!

Fancy popping to Brighton in it?!!

I'd like a ride!

Mint condition!!
Sideways action surely...

It's gone now.....

It felt quite different to how i remember E30 M3's (i haven't driven one for about 6 years) but it was definately FUN!!

It's a shame the roads were so dry as i would've liked to indulge in some tail-out antics but i didn't want to push my luck in someone elses car.

Sounds nice at 7000 rpm tho

Dave, i would've popped over but only came back to the pc after he'd collected it, sorry dude.

Never been in an M3!!

Jon, picked up the LSD today!

Post Sat Feb 12, 2005 6:28 pm

Yeah i've been 'keeping an eye out' for a couple of months now actually but i've just got sooo many projects on the go atm i don't have the time to buy another car.

Plus i bought my g-f a 318is the other day and so far all she's done is moan that i bought 'another bloody car!!'

So i don't think i'd be Mr Popular

Nice-one dude, when you fitting it? Donuts on thurs night then

Oooh, i picked up my wheels today too, go look in styling

Post Sat Feb 12, 2005 6:34 pm

Those wheels look well nice mate.

Will look awesome on the Touring!! That colour will go nicely with the silver car.

Dunno when I'm gonna fit it, I know basically how to do it, I just need to know exactly how to change the length of the propshaft, that's my main problem, as I don't want to leave the car undriveable cos I need it!

Dave,to adjust it you need to undo the locking nut thing which is what the furthest arrow on the right is pointing to.

You can't make it out in the picy but theres a big hex thing that i think you need either a very big adjustable spanner or some sort of grip's/stilsons to undo it.

Post Sat Feb 12, 2005 7:44 pm

Good friend!

Post Sat Feb 12, 2005 7:54 pm

I dont think i would have wasted time on here posting, i'd have been makin use of that petrol!!

Nice car tho!

Post Sat Feb 12, 2005 8:24 pm

Don't worry bout it Andy, i'm not bothered mate

Lol at everyone telling me to not waste time in front of the PC, don't worry lads, i gave her a thorough workout.

I didn't want to push my luck tho, the last thing i want is to end up taking a smashed up M3 as a part-ex after i'd got carried away.
