Ooooo, it looks exactly like the one out of 2Fast2Furious.

I'm in.

Are you Stateside now, chap?

I am indeed, what gave it away?

One thing I love so far is that anytime you're near a road, you only have to wait for a couple of minutes until you hear a rumbling V8. It's a pleasant din

Whoops.....

Good, aren't they?

Ohhhhhhh very nice! Perfect colour too.

Chum of mine (djon on PH) has a CS in that hue. Lovely.

That's the one up for £4995 locally to you, yes? What was the mileage?

Nice!!

They're staggeringly good, especially considering the entry fee.

Jobbo said:

116k.

I have never been in a car that has worn the miles so well. BMW did their homework here.

Either everything's been replaced, or an Irishman's clocked it.

Couple of cheap daft niggles to sort, and we're away.

Even the insurance is cheap.

Really good. I still miss mine....

Trust me, this will do it

Oh yes. I can believe it!

[ferrisbueller]

Ridiculous!

[RoryH]

If we'd clocked it, we'd have put the mileage up, not down.

Mornin' all. I'll just leave this here.



Or should we consider a faster colour?

Christ knows why, but I saw this and thought of you.

Tragically sad, I know.

Bloody hell that's tidy.

Nothing like a blue interior either.

Went all round the bloody houses on Monday. Birkenhead - Dartford - Kent - Leatherhead - Birkenhead.

And the bds had shut off a junction of the M25 so we had to go up the M3 then back again.

Did however, come back mit one Austin Westminster shell and a Transit full of the bits needed to put it back together.

5 am we got home. 22 hours on the road.

Christ knows when Plop Snr's getting all these projects done, he's going back to Sewf Effrica on Saturday.

Here's a really stupid question - assuming the same grade, diesel and petrol engines use the same oil, right?

The oil manufacturers do market oils specifically for diesels, and I guess they might have slightly different additives in, but any old oil should be OK.

Especially for a Berlingo.

I entered the Berlingo registration into the Mobil find an oil for my car tool and it came up blank. Maybe chip fat is good enough.

Bung some left over Shell Helix you have around the garage and be done

If it's not thick enough, bung some veg oil in too. Should run like a treat.

Changing oil?..

Did the track day this weekend too! Was good fun.

On my third session I started catching up to a Caterham.

Toyota GT86 couldn't keep up neither.

All this in a 23 year old £500 Toyota Supra, the rear 'Wanlis' are fked now though.

Morning Threadista.

Hope all is well in the forum-world.

May I post some affordable Italian tweedies -

Has your ban been lifted now Loon?

[V8mate]

That 164 is nice but I'd prefer it if it had a more 'interesting' interior: ox blood, tan, WHY?
