    Favourite custom paint and colour

    My fave colour was on my old M3 which was carbon black, it flipped from black with green to black with purple, was fantastic when waxed :bigsmile:

    What would you put in your Fantasy garage.

    Ooo, i like these fantasy threads :bigsmile: Firstly, i would have to build a garage to house all these cars, bet you didn't think of that ! I would have 4 cars : An M3 CSL for the track :D A 911 turbo with full tech art conversion for the weekends :D An Overfinch Range Rover (I hate them...

    Unrestricted Autobahn?

    I drive to Germany 5 times each year, roughly... As Waynne says, just because there might not be a speed limit, doesn't mean you can just drive as quick as you like so be careful. They are not signposted either IIRC, but i would say, on a nice clear, dry day and with light traffic and a good...

    How often do you wash your car and what products?

    Was debating this on another forum i browse on.. How often do you wash your car and do you enjoy it? Personally, i ensure that i wash my car at least once a week, normally on a Saturday morning, rain or shine too, 2 buckets, one with warm clean water and the other with proper car shampoo...

    Cracking cars and E46's can be had for good money now, had mine off the clock in Germany, felt totally planted, no restrictor on it either, looking for another one now :D

    MK1 Astra GTE Turbo

    Looks great that. A mate of mine had one like this, 300 bhp etc, Dave Franczak and 'Not Normal' if it rings a bell, owned a company called V Tuning. Have had my fair share of GTE 16v Turbos, Astra GSI Turbos, all with LET's in them, unreliable as hell but fun when running ok! Been up the POD?

    Anyone can drive my car, not too bothered, once the M3 or VXR is in the garage that's a different matter :lol:

    Can you help this newbie with space wagon prob??

    Have you looked at the earthing? Maybe a bad earth somewhere (earth strap) happened on a few of my past cars, maybe worth checking. And apologies i called you mate - assuming you a lady.. :o)

    My Whip

    I'm just a hater of bodykits and all things boy racerish, i like the subtle and smooth look, i would think that would be a 1.6 16v, looks good, go get it!!

    My Tigra project car

    I would go for a 1.6 16v motor with cams or throttle bodies, depending on how deep your pockets are, sort the brakes and suspension first though otherwise it'll be a pig of a drive, yes there is a 1.8 but the 1.6 tuned is my recommendation :D

    Can you help this newbie with space wagon prob??

    Hi mate, Hard to tell with your description - drives fine occasionally? well, when it doesn't drive fine occasionally, is that when it cuts out or does it do something else? Assuming you've checked the battery ?

    hello! newbie here with nu car! :D

    You can't really 'race' a diesel, well you can, but not the ones we're talking about, they are built for reliability and fuel consumption and you don't really want to compromise that with some back street racing (which really isn't condoned on here mate). VXR's are sweet, i like them too, but...

    High and low spots of car ownership

    Low point for me - After driving to Manchester to pick up my boyhood dream of a gleaming Pacifica Blue Escort Cosworth, it blows up on the way home. One of many high points - Having my M3 off the clock going past a copper on a German Autobahn, the M3 didn't have a limiter either :D

    My Whip

    As i said before, ensure the car is mechanically sound before you spend anything on it, put your first bit of money you spend on the car into a nice service, new oils and filters would be a great idea and it's amazing how much extra performance you get from a car through servicing. Don't do...

    Hi and welcome. Getting an Astra diesel to sound like an Aston Martin :lol::lol::lol::lol: made my day that.... Your CDTI, as far as i am aware anyway, stands for Common rail, diesel turbo, injection, as the older DTI models are diesel turbo injections and weren't common rail. There...

    Evo iv

    It's when the crank starts 'walking' down the shops lol Basically, it was only ever a problem on the Evo 1,2,3 and 4, it's when the crank moves around the housing caused by a poorly designed thrust bearing, oil cannot get between the face of the thrust washer and block, and slowly chews away...

    Center Lane Owners Club

    Must say, this is my biggest gripe on the road. Why oh why some people are intent on just sitting in the middle lane when the inside is clear is beyond me, i usually, if safe to do so, will undertake and have a little glance over when passing and give them a little 'i hope you know why i am...

    Must say i am liking this, shame i couldn't fit in it due to being a lanky sod, but out of all the super minis, this is the one i'd have!! :D

    Evo iv

    Waynne is correct. However, Evo 4's suffered VERY badly with crankwalk thus making for an expensive repair, so my opinion is, if you are considering buying one, consider a bit longer or delve a little deeper and get that 6 that you know really is a LOT better :D
