An argument was developing. And we were being side tracked by values again.

Have we kissed and made up or not?

Matching Lava Orange trimmed tent......or just the car reflection....biggrin:

And on the subject of reasonably 'proper' M3s.....the E36 Imola Edition. Not the best perhaps, but wish I had kept it.

Apologise for the poor photo btw.

Good cars. I had a lovely original M3 GT and stupidly sold it. Also had a lot of respect for the CL when we were setting up the 6RS. Very quick car. Under rated at the time but thankfully now appreciated.

Yes Steve the E36 were perhaps the last of the proper solidly built M3s. Same with the E39 M5s. Great cars both then and now.....and still look good too.

Was offered a GT way back when but hated the colour....seem to remember they were all green?

Another memorable but standard E36 M3 in Estoril...one of my favourites.

Back to cars.

I've found the photo of the red RS. Great combo.
Great looking 7.2RS. I've felt an inexplicable urge to scan the classifieds for these. The CGT and 4.0RS are unobtainable unicorns now, so this will do.

And then I jump into my 6. Yesterday was a great evening to go for an aimless thrash and celebrate a thousand years of the bubble, so the urge doesn't crystallise into something real.

Well all seems good amongst the GT3 and RS owners but UK economic activity in the UK is taking a nose dive.

fk it, it's just a panic blip. Now we get to see who's been over-reaching themselves, that's all.

TBF, I'm a bit disappointed at our collective lack of resilience and courage, but that's for another thread.

Now then, back on topic, loving all the pictures. thumbup The barely road legal 996 and the pre-impact bumper yellow peril... the lot. You can't put a price on the way the cars make you feel.

'Panic blip'!? lovl, pmsl etc. Can I have a bit of whatever you're smoking please/what colour is the sky in your world? etc. From where I'm sitting it looks like we're in fking economic meltdown..and its going to get a lot, lot worse!

No smoking; just a healthy dose of mountain biking and real ale last night. Settles the nerves a treat.

Nil desperandum!

Bespoke German bike, so surely it's allowed in the thread.

Don't get me started on this - I've been trying to pretend it isn't happening - this sort of thing isn't helping - I said this would happen , it's just like at home , no one listens to me frown
