    Always change directions each time you mow the lawn or you end up with one like CHP's :D

    Years ago mowers had rollers at the back that gave a really nice effect when doing it up and down. Never see that any more so makes feck all difference these days. :(

    Ha ha there is a real love hate thing with them alright Big N :)
    No need for the sorry, everyone has got their opinions :)
    My favorite thing about them is the body line that runs around the whole car through the headlights and taillights, think it was a lovely feature!

    It's pretty typical of Bimmer drivers to dislike the current model nearly until it's at the end of its generation but I think the E60 and especially he E65/66 went way off the mark. The newer F series are more on track IMO.

    That said, when it's time to change the E39 I'll probably run with an E60 as there's very little else out there in that league that would interest me in the least.

    I liked the 65 :)

    And for some reason I don't like the f10! If I was to change soon I would be lost as to what I'd want.

    With a lot of BMWs, it's all about the wheels. Dunno if it's more so with BMW than other brands, but a lot of them look absolute dirt in non-sport guise or without big wheels.

    Even the newer A4s look quite smart with basic 17"s. But an E60 in SE spec looks beyond awful.

    Very true but not just the wheels. The right indicator lenses make so much difference! ;)

    Myself and the buddy showing that staying stock can look soo cool. The lad with the Glanza is a wheelchair user so the fact that hes runs a turbo-charged hot hatch with a hand controlled accelerator and brake takes serious commitment.

    When I say SE, I meant a real old one with these specific wheels. *shudders*


    Some final prep of the E38 before she goes up for sale, tomorrow no doubt. Sad times. :o

    Stairway to heaven!

    Infuriates me that I have to sell it. Not a chance i'm paying €2000 a year to drive it the odd day. I have the space, just can't justify the cost. :(

    Wouldn't have a clue as I've never driven one. The GTi Corolla is mine and she's a sweet yoke to drive

    Chaved up my 540i a bit more. If it wasnt for the Bilstein shocks + Eibach sports, it would have rammed the wheels into the wheel arch. So far, despite 5mm clearance it hasnt rubbed (on the rear, fronts fine).

    Got MAF, Injectors and O2 Sensors on the way. Already remapped to 320bhp but IMO could do with these core components being changed (285k KM on it). Next oil change Ill take off the sump and fix the no doubt about-to-fall-off Oil pump common on these M60 V8 engines.

    Love the car but hate the wheels. Ruin the car imo. Sorry! E34's are getting rare unfortunately as they have aged very well.

    Ditto.
    That car would look much better on a set of stock alloys from the time, or alternatively a nice set of m-paras.
    Nice car all the same.

    Oh I know, but still. :)
    Nah, too boring! This is to throw around the place and have fun. I have the 850CSi for somewhat more period correctness. E34s are really quite common here and mostly driven by boy racer types.. dont have much of a classic cachet as is.

    Shes the AE92 model Corolla. Engine wise, its running the 4AGE 16v 1.6 which is the same as the Twincam's but mine came after the update to the higer torque system so it has a grand pull right through the rev range. Driving is sweet once you keep the revs up as it has no issue going to 7500 or 8000 so in traffic at 1500/2000 can be a handfull
