I think a lot of it is that so many cars from the mid '00s to the late '10s are simply very reliable, safe, and not overblown with tech. They don't dissolve quite so quickly either.

I wonder who she's got dirt on.

They've been smelly for years - her and Salmond.

As for not knowing what was going on - how the hell she even got in the house with the motorhome parked out front that she didn't see, the 108 bog rolls he bought, and the mountains of other shite.

Anyway, blasted as much crap out as I could, and put it all back together with the new old wing.

Nice work - always brings back fond memories of my e90 330i when I see yours 👍


Cheers. I'm going to get the other ...

E91 will be 14 years with me in November. Even though I'm now worrying about the rust that needs treating, I still can't see me getting rid unless it dies.

Prior to that the longest I'd owned was the 197 at 4.5yrs and to me that seemed like an age - probably because I wanted shot after a couple of ...

Replaced my dented osf wing today. Got bumped back in Jan and managed to find a decent 2nd hand wing with minimal rust. Spent some time treating it, and today was an opportune moment to get it swapped.

Ha! Yes, mine is the LCI.. the boot cover is the same design as previous gens with semi circular cross section bar that you rotate slightly for it to shoot up or pull out and down slightly to retract fully..

Having watched the carwow Turbo S vid, I’m beginning to think these cars are too ...

Net migration down to lowest level since 2012, plus NHS waiting lists reduced in line with manifesto pledge. It's wild how people think the government isn't doing anything.


Net migration has been returning to the same pre-Boriswave levels since 2023, so it's impossible to say how much of that ...

Would be funny if Mitsubishi raised a cease & desist.

The middle of it just looks like a Taycan, while the rear lights have that awful graphic which looks like Mitsubishi's logo not Merc's and the front grille looks like it was intended for a Maserati and the headlight strip looks like it's from a Smart. Not impressed.


Nailed it on the critique ...

Thing is, if they punished it by way of a fine, it sets out that the practice is legal for a price. I think the appeal may cancel the -4 points, but not the removal from the match- to overturn that would be a bit of an embarrassing look for the efl, and come across as weak.

And to answer the ...

I think it's a load of overblown nonsense. Maybe that's growing up following F1, where teams do anything they possibly can to see what their rivals are up to. A bit of sporting espionage adds to the interest.

But rules is rules I suppose.

Speaking from very recent experience, not that tricky. There's plenty out there. Main thing is finding one that's in decent enough condition.

I've still to fit mine

Fuckin' oof.

Skoda is in to find out where it's leaking coolant from. No mayo in the cap and until recently no evidence on the driveway. Prime suspect is therefore the waterpump, which the EA888 is known for. It's located under the throttle body at the front of the engine so is almost impossible to see unless ...

I felt like having a hassle free daily for a while, so ordered an Abarth 600e on a favourable lease deal last week. Haven't even seen on in person despite them being out for a year, but I'm sure it will be fine for my needs.

Thank you gentlemen.

I seem to recall someone posting on here a few months back with a really good website that sells all sorts of clips and fasteners for all manufacturers.

Or did I have some sort of a weird, very niche, dream?

Starmer must love the idea of a challenge by Streeting. Streeting makes Starmer look great in comparison.
To be fair, Streeting comes across pretty well in interviews - he’s able to answer difficult questions in a far more likeable manner than Starmer ever could.


Agreed. however, this is ...

All Ferraris pre-456 should be Rosso or Yellow in limited cases. Oddly I think anything post-456 looks cack in Rosso.

Plus people forget that, typically, local elections are treated by voters as an interim opportunity to voice their opinions on the course of the incumbent Government, but with the reduced risk of causing too much carnage. So voting Reform or Green at the LEs, en masse, does not mean that those same ...
