I never do that with my E30.
Ooh, an e30 325i, must be the sweet spinning M20B25 motor.
Don't be silly. Everyone knows BMW code names.

When people refer to EK3 with a RS25DAT, however, they are talking gibberish wink

I bought my misses a honda civic when we moved to France last year. She doesn't deserve to share my Nissan GTR.

A biker pops up to say bikes are the answer to everything. Ten road safety experts have a thing or two to say about that.

or

A car driver is annoyed by a biker overtaking him.Ten bikers arrive to tell the driver he was wrong. A car V's bike argument ensues which fizzles out due to boredom once it gets to cars V's bikes on the track.

Article is so true.
But I'd be annoyed to spend £5 to find it as part of a magazine.

A car driver whinges about being stuck in traffic. The bikers just smile.

Someone posts a link to a news story about a cyclist getting knocked off his bike by a car.

Ten pages later, the discussion is revolving about either (a) "road tax", (b) jumping red lights or (c) how much space you should leave when passing cyclists (including that same picture from the Highway Code again), and a proportion of the posts consist mainly of the censored smiley.

lol, I read this on my curved 75" UHDTV. My girlfriend also lolled.

I reckon in the 12 months I've lived here, the value of my house has went up £50,000. Isn't that fantastic everyone?

They forgot "someone posts a What Car thread for a 5 door hatch that somehow results in people suggesting an MX5".

£50k's a good gain. That's almost exactly how much I spent on my Patek Phillippe, which I wear whilst driving my Stage IV R35 at, ahem, significant speed through the twisties. My co-director lolled at how little I'd spent, but then unlike me he's a real watch snob.

Car salesmen imply they earn hundreds of thousands of pounds per year but won't confirm it, and have a job which requires more skill than a brain surgeon.
