Ok, just to prove galwaytt wrong, ie that this is not a BMW forum, post pics of your car(s), past or present, to this thread. If it ends up shorter than the "post a pic of your BMW/s thread".. well then galwaytt is right and I've been bloody well posting to a BMW fecking forum all along..

unkel · 23-01-2008 12:49am

Oh no, you must be right! There doesn't seem to be a single poster on boards.ie that does not own a BMW?

galwaytt · 23-01-2008 9:45am

BMW's posted here shall be reported, and 6mth ban attached.

Gone, but not forgotten........

and all because of these guys.......see, tobacco co's aren't all bad :eek:

not called a tea tray spoiler for nothing.........

Current car, not gone - but hey, see my sig !

One of these is a classic. Neither are made in germany, actually......

ok, just for Unkel - my old BMW...:rolleyes:

Some lovely motors there. Does the bike mean that I'm to give you a "6mth ban"?

galwaytt · 23-01-2008 9:59am

technically it's only half a BeeEmm. 2 cyls & 2 wheels. Don't want Junkyard suffering withdrawal symptoms.............:D

peasant · 23-01-2008 10:27am

You're allright there, because technically the "B" in BMW motorcycles stands for "Berlin" (where they are built ...unless it's a single cylinder 650 ...then it's built in Italy) and not for "Bavaria" ...so it's different altogether

That first Porsche is beautiful. There is a similar grey one I've seen around, from about 1991. And there's a green mid 80s one. I've never spotted the white one.

cantdecide · 23-01-2008 2:54pm

My baby (people sell there babies right?):D. In an effort to try to do what I've been promising with the last 5 cars and actually keep this one, I'm trying to sort a 2 wheeler.

Just got the BBSs fitted with some nice Firestones. The bare wheels had been taunting me in the garage for months.

JHMEG · 23-01-2008 3:28pm

Thanks galwaytt for restoring my faith in boards.. Now just ask a mod to change the thread title to reflect what it is!

1991 Integra XSI. I bought it from a friend after it had been broken into (and he was too lazy to get it fixed) as he was only asking €200. I was gonna fix it up and sell it on straight away.

After 20 mins of driving it I decided it was staying and the nice Civic Coupe (which wasn't a patch on it) was going. To this day this is still the best driver's car I have ever driven, and no car I've ever been in had as much character.

I ended up keeping it for 2.5 years, and sold it on at a huge profit!

316Ci. Like your typical BMW I expect.. all show and no go:

There have been several others, but none that I have pics of or are worth posting about.

Tho I nearly bought this actual car a couple of weeks ago:

Claimed 400bhp. Was able to spin the wheels in every gear.

@ JHMEG - that's the cleanest Integra of that vintage I've seen! Looks very well. Usually they're an un-loved example in that kind of wine colour.
Is it a DC5 you have now?

Masada · 23-01-2008 7:26pm

I like the S14 though id loose the spoiler from it, its at a very steep angle too, it must make an awful wind noise does it?

monster1 · 23-01-2008 7:27pm

not too gne on the spoiler myself but couldn't be bothered taking it off.

What in God's name is an S14(is it some sort of Nissan Silvia by any chance)? The only S14 I know of is the engine code for the BMW

E30 M3.

Just to prove it's not all BMW's in my house, here are a few of my others.

maidhc · 23-01-2008 9:09pm

It is nice to see how few mundane looking cars we have here. It is much better than the BMW thread where one can feast their eyes on such raraties as a 3 series...

On the assumption most people know what a Ford Focus looks like and don't need a picture to remind them, this is my other toy:

Well it's effectively a day now and as I write this, there have been 50 posts, the pics of BMW thread is effectively 2 days and that's on 159 posts, or on average 79.5 posts per day, so what that basically means is that there has been 59% more posts per day in the BMW thread i.e. the BMW one is 59% longer on a like for like basis:D:D!

And FWIW there are some seriously nice cars here too(some even nicer than some of the Beemers), just to prove that there is life beyond Munich!
