Best smoker barges 1-5 large [Vol 21]

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Thanks for the LC500 nods chaps. I'll probably sneak a picture of it onto Thread at some stage when it's here.

[Bonefish Blues]

What colour did you decide on after the Peoples Poll had resulted in bloodshed?

Friday budget, but LC500 inbound early next summer.

What will you do with the little 3 series?!?!!

And is this ordered, and if so what colours did you go for? They are lovely things, congrats!

535i. 1 owner. 192k miles. 14 BMW stamps.

You never would though would you? I mean it's either ex plod, or someone with a fuel card, but shifting it ever again would be tough, and it's not even in thread.

Is the 2.6 too weedy to drag a multicolour E class about? Werthers of joy.

WT..? Is that an actual question vaguely related to an actual barge being asked in this thread? https://youtu.be/91YS3fNegmE

S'not any more; been removed

Early BMW E61 525i - what to look out for? Any good? Understand bits of the tailgate likely to be broken and oil leaks common.

That's not too bad that; get it for c£4500 to £5k and you'd have a nice motor on your hands... Not worth more than that though IMO

If it's early it'll be the M54 engine; so usual rocker gasket and oil filter housing gasket leaks

As for the car; as you said, tailgate wiring and electrical niggles...

Other than that, the engines nigh on bulletproof etc

But still need to ensure it's been looked after & maintained properly beforehand

i can envisage the lengthy line of long legged Luxembourg ladies of leisure forming already.

well played, Sir.

I suggest the dashing yellow obviously (actually, I think they look fabulous in that deep blue!)

And vacuum leaks - the inlet boots, PCV system, even the oil filler can all be troublesome.

Lovely engine though.

Ahh yes, my bad. Had a total brain fart there thinking it was the V8.

Yeah, fair assumption! I would have bought V8BRJ at the same time as I got 10&12, had it been available, but someone (I like to think AC/DC) beat me to it.

Anyway… random musical whimsy aside, if I ever get the M6 back from my sister (it has ISOFIX, the others don’t), when her new car comes (hopefully January), you’re welcome to have a go in that & get a feel for what a 650 would be like. Well, apart from the engine & gearbox, obviously, but they’re not important, right?

Oh, and advance congrats M. GdG, très bein.

I didn't know you had an M6 Prinny. Cheers for the offer - would love to take you up on that!. Must admit, after watching M539s Project Chicago I had been eyeing them up as well, but I've got a thing for a V8 at the moment.

Then I start thinking a Japanese V8 would be a safer bet

I thought some of you might appreciate this, a lovely crisp barge (oxymoron) outside an Inn.

I am not a fan of the grille but I like the shape. What is it?
