I also take my shoes off on longer flights. I just put them back on again when I stand up. Your “watch where you step” method doesn’t work so well on the over 12 hour flights unless you prop the door open with one foot and piss from the alley way. In which case bravo Sir!

I’m more grossed out by someone walking around in piss soaked socks. Ask any flight attendant what the liquid on the bathroom floor is. Hint: it aint water.

This skid mark needs to realise that although his car sounds good, a lot of people think the old N/A V8 sounds better.

Is there any way we can get Waze to tell people to get sterilized?

I’m amazed people actually do this. You inspect a car, you pay the agreed price of the car and get the car. In that order. If you don’t have the money on you and the seller is willing to hold the car for you give them a deposit, get a receipt and go get that cash. If you don’t have the money to begin with don’t buy…

My Dad managed to get our family (Mum, Dad and 3 kids) around in a mustard yellow 2500 sedan driving around Perth in the late ‘70s-early ‘80s. It leaked a lot in winter and broke down a lot in summer which is when Mum convinced him to get rid of it and get into a new Honda Accord VTi (the last with pop-up lights), he…

When it was sold by Newera 5 years ago they quoted the output at 430hp.

This thing was sold about 5 years ago by Newera Imports for a hell of a lot less. It does seem to have only covered about 3000 miles since then which I’m not sure is a good or bad thing with a custom car like this.

That’s what I thought. It takes an incredible amount of time and resources to design and implement a global strategy for non-standard stuff. Glad to hear it’s finally getting sorted though.

A car being driven with a damaged head gasket will (in certain conditions) also damage the head. Heated gas being pumped under pressure by the pistons into areas it shouldn’t be can erode surfaces that are critical, compounding the leaks. Oil and water contaminate each others systems which can cause problems as they…

The idea is nothing moves until the driver has left the car and the secure door is closed preventing access. The machine should have another system to prevent movement but the operator didn’t park in the correct spot and apparently failed to check before leaving his parking spot.

This. Driving in Germany/ Austria you get used to seeing tiny city cars driven by locals absolutely spank sports cars driven by tourists. I’ve seen Golf 1.4tsi’s spank the daylights out of various Audi s/ rs models through snow covered windy roads.

I nearly bought one of these second hand from a dealer once (in sedan version). Then I met the original owner who sold it to the dealer and he was telling me over a beer how it was a car of extremes. When everything was sweet, it was sooo fast and comfortable and fun and refined. When it broke it would consume cash…

It is a glorious unicorn of a car. It’s still in the BMW museum in Munich (well worth a visit if you’re that way inclined). If I wanted a BMW performance car to live with, it would be a Gama E30 V8-S sedan exactly like their shop demo car. But that’s just me. Schererna is right, any V12 car needs deep pockets and a…

No worries, no one is an idiot for not knowing something. Points for asking to find out something new.

It’s cool and all but I’d rather get a late-ish model Defender 90 and send it to Bowler with 50k pounds and then use the remaining 60-70k pounds to buy a 400hp sports car to have fun in. One for work, one for play.

Also, if you’re going to lust after an old 7 series, make it the E32 platform “Goldfisch” prototype.

It’s just the model designation. In the 3 series for example there was the E30, E36, E46 and so on. In the 5 series there was E12, E28, E34, E39 etc... Each new platform had a new number. The 750iL you lust after falls in the E38 platform being produced from 1994 to 2001. Each manufacturer has their own unique system…

I had this discussion the other day. If I make $100k a year and spend $100k on a car it’s a pretty dumb idea. If I make a million a year and buy the same car then it’s a small outlay for something I’ve always wanted.

I’m with you there. Or aan EVO with the 2.5 cossie motor.
