and here's a shot of its stablemate that I meant to include in my previous ramble

You know, I have really, really, tried to like the two tone M5.


But I just can't.


(other than that, piofeck )

Thats exactly the same as mine, just without the rust, and um, with wheels on it

The pic is deceptive. It certianly does have rust but it's not too bad at the moment.

I do have a garage full or E34 panels, trim and parts ready to restore it but I don't have the cajones or budget to commit to doing it right now. Plus I'm stll short of some bits required to do everything in one go.
It wouldn't suprise me if the final bill comes to somewhere well north of £10k to get it where I want it so I'll wait a while yet and just keep using as I do now.

Should the move overseas happen, I'll put the M5 in storage for when we come back and will attempt to restore it then.

Whatever happens though, it is a keeper. Two-tone and all!

CAn any of you kind chaps tell me why my emails are not coming through to my phone anymore??

Iphone? Check the notification centre and make sure you've turned your account on.

[Chrisw666]

No idea then, as much as Apples smug employees annoy me I can work an iphone meaning they got something right.

Cars.

I fking hate them.

Another "new" noise? I find turning the radio up helps!

Nope.

Samsung thing.

I miss my blackberry.

Really? I have a BB for work and use an android phone myself, I loathe the clunky interface of the BB compared to Android. It is very annoying but we have to have BBs for work for some reason (considering Ive had my laptop at work since 2004 I would guess its because although they don't do anything well, they do most things just about well enough at the lowest cost per unit)

And yes Im too tight to pay Apple for having the latest Iphone every year when my Android does 99% of the same things and does some things better.

Very nice and rare car on eBay:

A manual, MV6, pre facelift Omega. Perfect

Because I am essentially a bear of very little brain, I have not a clue what to do. And it is too late to start on the 1664.

ZX? Did you bid on the ebay one that was in Durham?

Oh nice. Is a 30+ year old BMW really a good idea?

Yes. I mean... what could possibly go wrong?!?

Dear.

I've posted this before and I know I would look ridiculous in it. And I know it would look daft in the village.

But I would imagine I looked like this -

[S3_Graham]

Like loon. I like.

[Output Flange]

You'd be the only Charger in the village, that's for sure.

[Beefmeister]

Why oh why oh why don't people put a price in an advert?

(the Challenger above)

Fantastic car, though i dare say you'd look a little lost in that yank cabin, Loon!

I suspect he wants to sort out the mirror image badging on his Challenger first.
