Trip from spain to england...

[maxfield]

Just brought the car back from spain all the way 1500 miles from mabella. And she didn't miss a beat BTW
The wheels will be changed soon !!!!!!!!!!!!

Heres the car just coming out of its habitat.






Just as we're about to leave. About 4am in the morning and still haven't had any sleep since then



Just after we got pulled for speeding 380euros for doing 108km/h Not sure of the speed limit tho was on a slip road.



Also just as we cam in to france we hit raised tarmac for a new bridge which buckeled both wheels so loads of shaking all way home 800odd miles

Just as where about to leave french soil for england. And no issues with the ferry with how low he car is .



Heres a top speed run from earlier in the week on a private road
The car felt very safe at that speed and still had a little more to go. Anyone else been close to these speeds? Also don't tell me this is not a reliable source of info as it was on satelite

Also a few more pics on a proper camera might post them up.

Nice pics and story. I like the pic in the dark '4am' one, looks so square and heavy

Unlucky about the front wheels, must of taken quite a hard hit?

Good video, was that in the red line?

[toby]

Well that's fast. Was that 161 mph?

[maxfield]

Shame it was blurry

Was a very hard hit, spanish roads are shocking will be kept in the UK if my dad keeps it.

Not there was abour 200rpm to go and obviously wind resistance got too much

[maxfield]

Well that's fast. Was that 161 mph?

Yes.

Sorry about vid quality

[playo]

161! Sweet

Couldnt agree more, they ruin the agressive E30 look

By the way did somebody chav your M badge off the boot?! All thats left is the 3!

[Lennerd320i]

you can notice the marks that left on the bootlid. thieves like it almost as much as the merc star... don't get their point why stealing it... but i'm pleased you agree with me and those angle eyes

Nice one mate! Liking the vid aswell, iv never driven at that speed (only got upto 145ish ) but we had the DTM at roughly 175 at the ring (rought guess as no speedo), it felt safer than it did at 120!

[snooka]

i thought you selled this one?? or goin 2? anyway i LOVE this car, looks really amazin, live tha color, wheels, engine ... nothing bad to say (just put a new 'M' sign stolen?)
what kind of wheels ur goin for?

those ones looks goed on a M3, this r pics of a friends M3

[maxfield]

I like the angel eyes look much more different in person.

The tape didn't stay on the heat of spain was too much and fell off , easily replacible.

Those wheels wouldn't clear the caliper.

You'll have to keep guessing but they are very nice and expensive.

Ben - It felt safe, glued to the floor and not dodgy rattles or noises.

And just woke up from 12o clock yesterday afternoon 20hours, i feel rough as a badgers arse

its not 161.... more like 67..... you missed calculted the conversion

[maxfield]

its not 161.... more like 67..... you missed calculted the conversion

More like 6.7 with the diesel

[ad318i]

still putting in the diesel max.... thats terrible m8

if you still like doing that you can always take out the s14... give it to me and chuck a diesel lump in there

[maxfield]

Buy the car and do a diesel conversion yourself

[snoops]

out of interest what did the speedo read with the satellite saying 161?

[oze30]

love the csl's granny sticker!

Not sure what it said but don't think it was far off the actual speed.

My dads 850 would do 150mph all day long but wouldn't want to know the MPG at that speed
