Cannot believe how clean that interior is given the mileage.

It's a strange phenomenon really but happens quite a bit. Maybe they thought your car looked lonely and needed a bit of company. Maybe they're just gob****es. Who knows.

:pac: I think it may be a security precaution. As in if i park near someone else scummers will break into other car? I dunno maybe they are just gob****es

It's a survival instinct. The bigger car will protect the smaller car

. Only women think that way :pac:.

Those who are here a few years will know about similar background. There was a skyline in same spot

Your back reg plate is wonky

Moneymaker · 12-04-2014 6:37pm

You seem to have placed a Saab badge on your BMW Touring.

Presumably 'let's create something completely different to every other hatchback on the road and have triangle exhausts and spaceship door handles! Go technology!'

I think it looks great.

I like it too, but I seem to be in the minority and like the newest models look even more. Honda was the first to have a futuristic looking can and then the rest all followed.

Bah, I seen you made a post here. I was hoping for photos of your Luxobarge fleet.

My little babbie got her clean yesterday so managed to have the camera in the car on the way home from work just as the sun started to set

What horsepower is that pushing out?

CianDon · 13-04-2014 10:47pm

Shes bone stock so about 130/135 BHP from the mad revvy 16V screamer :-)

New thread? Where have I been....

Spike Witwicky · 14-04-2014 9:25pm

Wouldnt be a huge fan of Pugs but that 406 is fairly aggressive looking

Moneymaker · 14-04-2014 9:32pm

Always loved the 406. It's styling was away ahead of its time imo.

Plus it was in Ronin so that makes it cool by default :pac:

That was a 3.0 V6 though!!

Remember being at the 406 launch in 1996 and thought it was like something from space! Still an attractive car and so much better than the 407.

Just had a look on done deal after my last post. There a some nice coupes for sale for not much money!!!

Future classic for sure.

Irishcrx · 15-04-2014 9:19am

Gave the 166 a clean yesturday in honour of it's new NCT - passed first time

, Finally fully road legal after it's import, really does take a while to get everything sorted!

Eric Cartman · 15-04-2014 5:27pm

A nice sunny day and a bit of a clean for the e38. The D-Max could do with one too.

murphyebass · 15-04-2014 8:08pm

Only got it today, I'll post more but this is a start.

My new to me 2010, 2.2 diesel, Mazda 6.

GvidoR · 15-04-2014 9:01pm

That Mazda is a nice car, I hope you got rid of that seat cover though. :P

Its not a seat cover. Just a bit of plastic. Seat was still slightly wet from wet vac valet. Its off now.

Be sure and watch the oil level like a hawk. The way the dpf works means that it can dilute the engine oil with diesel. If it rises you need to consider an oil change. If you do town driving consider 10k intervals and weekly checks.

Lovely cars though, liked mine a lot.

I always get my cars serviced every 10,000km. And after owning an Alfa before I think its just habit that I check the oil regularly but thanks for the heads up. Had read about that online too. Hope I'm not starting one big headache of diesel problems. Only time will tell I suppose.

dgt · 15-04-2014 9:56pm

Double trouble

Probably the only time there's 3 different Alfa 166's on the same page, let alone the thread...... Silver and all V6's! :eek:
