Bet you returned to a micra or something parked between the two of you!

This was a couple of hundred metres away at Dundalk C&C, probably would have fitted!

Funny and sad at the same time, I parked beside this sorry state of a 7 series today. It was the flagship equivalent of a battered farmers Avensis you'd see parked inside a cattleshed.

It was absolutely destroyed all over with dents, scuffs, the right side banged in, a broken headlight and the interior jammed with junk.
Funny thing is he was parked the same way I was, way over to the side of the space to avoid dings.

Even aside from the condition of the other car, it's amazing how much fresher the LCI models look at the front! Seems to be a common feature with LCIs from the Bangle era - the E46 and E60 were the same.

Hillman Imp...my first car.

Uh oh.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

I hear the sound of mods in the distance.

Enjoy your 60 lashes and the shame.

Pretty sure that's my first of 2018. A bit slow off the mark this year :pac:

Sure it's a rite of passage in the motors forum really.

Picked up a focus zetec s, it’s only a 1.5 but is actually nippy enough and does 40mpg around the city no problem

My newest purchase inspired by a thread on boards a few weeks ago.

It's my fourth mx5 - I've owned an

- NC
- NB
- NA (still own)
And now the ND.

Wouldn't have been my first choice of colour but I got a good deal on it.

So far loving it - spent 6 hours prepping paint and polishing it yesterday!

vintagevrs

Looks great, enjoy

Leonard Hofstadter

I think it looks fantastic in white, the black wheels set it off nicely!

new Mx5 looks great. Every time I see one I admire it. The new Aston Martin Vanquish store the front end too.

White looks great, assume that is the Pearl one too? Had a Mazda 6 with the same paint... Looked great, when I kept it clean.

It's called "ceramic" I think there is actually a standard white, a pearl white and ceramic - it's an unusual colour - sometimes it looks almost silver depending on the light.

And yeah I couldn't get over the amount of tar on it considering it has been on the road less than two months.

I like keeping a car clean though so I can see this one is going to keep me busy!

What's the squarish part on the wheel arch?

vintagevrs

Looks like where the reflector would be fitted in other markets.

Spot for a reflector for the US market maybe?

bear1

Ah could well be.
You'd think it would be flushed over for the European market.

That MX5 is perfect, love that colour. Any interior shots?

Mazda of late are producing some cracking looking cars.

Have this a few weeks. Over 3,000km on it now.

Looks like a very nice cabin to be sitting in.

Yep the seats are one of the highlights for me. Better than the seats in the G30 5er.

It's an e220d AMG Line, with the Night Pack adding those dual tone black gloss/silver painted wheels.

bear1

Wait till you all see the cracker I've been given while my Alfa gets assessed or more than likely written off.
An American import 2.0 147bhp focus automatic.
I'll post up a picture in the morning. No matter what I do it's averaging around 12 per 100km.
Alcoholic of a car.

How did they come up with it as a replacement car... Keep the fuel receipts

I've driven a few of the regular e220d's over the last few years in the U.K. and they are a stunning car to be inside and drive in my opinion.

I'd be seriously considering trying to pick one of these up over the next few years from the U.K.

Originally it was supposed to be an auris.
Then it got changed to a Lancer.
I show up and they hand me the keys to the focus with 41km of fuel in it.
At least I'm not walking but the kick back when you accelerate would give you whiplash it's that archaic.

Wheres the spruce?

Duff

Picked this up over the weekend in London. 520d M Sport with 82k on the clock, full BMW service history and not a mark on the body. Might be auld as the hills to some of you, but she's brand new to me

Thats a 190 bhp automatic,I used to work with a car dealership I still keep in touch with them as its always nice to test drive the good stuff

jayo26

After 10 years without a Beemer I finally convinced the wife..











Love it so far had a good drive in it this evening its my first auto car thought it would take some getting used to but not a bother on it love it.

bazz26

My new arrival today:

Big Nasty

Very nice bazz!

Wailin

Well wear bazz. Is the colour growing on you? Always felt the F10 m sport looks best in a dark colour and carbon black is one of the better ones.

bazz26

Cheers fellas. Carbon Black is a stunning colour when the sun is shining and it's clean. Keeping it that way is the tricky bit.

DaveyDave

I'm pretty neutral on BMW, don't like or dislike them much but there's some bloody fine examples of them on this forum!

carsfan2

Well wear Bazz.
Looks lovely. Carbon black is gorgeous when the sun shines showing off the blue tinge. Definitely get paint protection for it to keep it looking so well.

jayo26

That m sport is just stunning.

bazz26

The sports box feels much more lively too when it shifts, I always though the only difference between the non sports box and sports box was the paddle shifts but it looks like the gear ratios are tweaked also. The engine soundtrack at low speed (even though it's still a diesel) is very nice.

Wibbs

Fecking Motors BMW forum. *grumble* Nah only joking, like DD said Beemers were never really on my Petrolhead radar*, but over the years this thread has made me go "fair play" more than a few times. Nice one Bazz and Jayo. Well may ye both wear. Very nice cars both. A mate of mine has a similar Beemer to yourselves and the addled brained eejit let me of all gobsh1tes have a go a couple of times. Very nice, remarkably planted and feels like a much smaller car when pressing on(a compliment in my eyes), though I fear I'd lose my licence in a week.

Though Bazz, WTF were you thinking you crazy mad bastid you? Carbon Black?










*E30 M3 aside. Fcuking fantastic car. Though in fairness I've always been a sucker for rev happy engines you have to work, over all torque and powah. That and neutral well sorted analogue chassis that reward pressing on.
