    You cant beat an unmolested F10. Those MSport stickers on the sills and the front splitters which are the current trend make me puke

    I think they are OK if your into that kinda think. I'm not a fan of black wheels or anything black on them apart from the grill I even had my rear defuser colour coded but it's all down to taste. They are a lovely car to drive ether way.

    Isn't that a (for want of a better word) molested SE?

    That's mad never heard one out and about yet.

    They sound of nothing, have heard a few of them drive by me at this stage. I don't like the fake noise, especially given Porsches back catalogue I can't understand why they didn't fake one of their flat sixes into the cabin (along with the obligatory spaceship sound).

    The Audi e-tron GT is the first electric car that sounds interesting, the fake noise in the RS model sounds reasonably like a petrol V8.

    Just got the old defender back in the road, and recently purchased this old car which spent the weekend cleaning. Gets some funny looks on the road.

    No that's my neighbours - he bought that from Deane Motors. It's a lovely car with ridiculously low mileage (I think less than 20k) but was serviced every year regardless.

    I thought it looked like the Deane Motors one. I remember lusting over it when it was online.

    Challengemaster, Conzy and I had a bit of an F series meet in Tipp over the weekend. Bit of detailing, bit of drinking (not driving) and a lot of craic!

    Dublin to Malin Head a few weeks ago. There's no denying it; it's thirsty.

    How’s it with the new diff?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,381 ✭✭✭vintagevrs

    It's great, really makes a huge difference with putting power down and pulling the car around a bend with the throttle. It was night and day different at the start but I'm just used to it now as with most things. I'd say id find it strange going back to one with an open diff.

    Yeah, but life's too short to be owning boring cars! All you have to do is turn it on and hear that five cylinder engine and you instantly know you've made the right decision. Beautiful looking car.

    21 years old. First day out in two years. Even started on its own battery!

    Yeah, pretty rare things here, think I've seen one other Sport in the wild.

    You have one yourself?

    Yep, a ZC31.
    I see one other 32 close to me but I get the vibe that the driver doesn't realize it's anything other than a Swift with a spoiler. :pac:

    That's a very nice ZC31, the red really suits it.

    That's a shame with the 32 driver near you, these things are so fun when you go for a proper drive in em, they are definitely missing out for sure.

    Alas, just the 1.9 but swift enough and reliable.

    There’s something so very pleasant about an e46 non M-Sport coupe with amber indicators and in an unusual colour.
