What sad reading, to accuse of a mental illness for disagreeing.
That's how you can tell they are a proper long term member... :-)

I'm no expert in patent law but there's something slightly illegal sounding about that.

I did hear Porsche bought one of the first R35's - mainly to use to benchmark but I suspect it was stripped down.

IIRC the first car to have 4 wheel steering was the Honda Prelude - about 20yrs on it's now the in thing.

That's not quite true. I pointed out examples of questions being asked, then answered then posts following up making no sense in relations to the answers given.

I am just a new member - but the bizarre posting did make me ask the question regarding mental health.

Definitely weird. No garage listed of all of these monster cars and talks about a Lexus as if it’s a decent steer. All in a thread about the 320d.

For the umpteenth time - it is - certainly in relation to a diesel S class.

Stop trolling.

The issue is with online we can all be anyone with anything or everything. Some believe people some doubt some lie some don’t

Bizarrely for me I lied about a sales or repair scrapper 944 pile of junk and people went batst crazy as some username said some lies about a dirt cheap scrapper yet too end cars or what have you no one really challenged


I was fking asked to post up V5’s insurance documentations GDPR - oddly OHMODs didn’t jump in and stop any of that ..... say no more and when directly challenges with evidence of the exact crime why one has a 28 day ban and tother got zilch and many others got zilch is questionable. Maybe this is why Garlick is no longer on social media as it is he who delivered the ban and refused to replicate for identical. Transgressions. But hey life’s a funny old game isn’t it people getting keyboard warrior against a username they don’t know will never meet etc. Also seems people say a lot more aggressive things online and wouldn’t dream about saying it face to face... I’d have loved any of those 7-8 years ago saying what they did face to face.... say no more. They seem to think they can say and do anything without any recourse ... they are wrong.

Completely standard - I wouldn’t change a thing about it. It’s an amazing bundle of joy. It was my first “light” car and cannot still get my head around how 190bhp can be so outrageously fun.

I see you are a lightweight fan wink

I think you do after 20 odd pages of slating one of the cars I own and my reasons for owning it plus for me to dare suggest it’s a better car than a 320d - which by all logic - it is!!

Why not mention the Rolls Royce it’s miles better than the 320d.

Utterly irrelevant to the thread but hey ho

No one is slating your car you silly bd, nor are they necessarily disagreeing that it is a better car than a 320D.

In fact, no one is quite sure why the fk your car is getting discussed at all.

Jesus wept.

The 111R is not a bad old thing to be honest. Lacks some edge to be exciting but a perfectly habitable daily.

Seems odd you think an LS has decent steering if you are used to the Elise. Don't tell me the Lex is on a par with the Lotus...

I find it exhilirating to be honest.

No - the LS has decent steering for what it is - certainly compared to the S classes I looked at.

Are you ever going to stop pontificating about a the merits of a small BMW with a small diesel engine in it?
