    LOL I know it doesn't look it, but its real carbon fibre, its so lightweight its not funny. First time we opened the bonnet we didn't realise how easy it was to lift and as a result almost flipped it into the windscreen! :o

    Here's mine. I bought it about 3 months ago. My first BMW! I have wanted one for ages. Ok, it's only a Compact, but I love it to bits. It's in immaculate condition too (2 previous owners) and has very low mileage for a 98 (44000). It was imported from the UK originally so it has lots of extra goodies like rear parking sensors, leather seats and it's an automatic. Although it's only a 1.6. it has Sports Mode too and goes like a rocket. This pic was taken when I bought it so the wheels pictured are the old ones. She has alloys now.

    Nope, this is a different car. Had two of the exact same car in the driveway for for a while.

    What sort of camera do you use Bucks? maybe you're just a brilliantly skilled photographer, but the pics look great.

    What is it? A Mazda MX5? Did you crash it, and have to get the bonnet it replaced from a dismantlers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭commited


    It's a Mazda RX-7 and I'm guessing the bonnet is meant to be black ;)

    Used a Canon EOS 20D, the camera can take all the credit for the pics :cool:

    Its carbon fibre, and no I didn't crash it, that first photo was taken after I got it back from the docks, the front splitter was cracked but I knew that before I bought it.

    Well I waited to get my new car to put it up....my old one was a 2000 ford focus saloon, nothing special.

    And seriously, what the hell do you all work at to be driving some of these cars....I'll never be able to afford to own/run some of them!

    I have Civic 1.8 SES, fast enough..for me, and loads of extras as standard :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    nice car lafors, did you see the new civic hybrid coming out soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,892 ✭✭✭Kersh


    Love them new civics lafors, probably the nicest looking new car on the market.. :)

    Thanks :) I was going to get the Golf FSI 2.0 or the Leon 2.0 FSI s,
    but the options on the civic were much better for the price, the only thing was they couldn't get my colour....neutron blue, so I went for the Royal Blue pearl instead, like it but would have prefered the neutron blue.

    Yeah heard about them alright, same body as mine. None available till spring 07 though, same for the hatchback version.

    I have to say the coupe style 3dr version of my from japan looks sweet, better than the 3dr hatchback...in my opinion ;)
    If you havent seen it check ....

    I read that the UK aren't getting the civic saloon, only in hybrid version. Something to do with Irish ones coming from Japan...didn't make much sense to me, its not as if we drive on different side of the road to the UK, which is what the article was pointing at. But anyway I dont care, I have mine :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭skyhighflyer


    Beautful S Class Niallers... the W220 is just so much more elegant than the new model...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 896 ✭✭✭nialler


    Yeah Sky

    The new one reminds me of the old east german wimmin olypic athletes, stern faced and pumped up through overuse of steroids.

    Still though it's got distronic based cruise control which will stop ya, night vision and the rest. I'll see how I get on with this one for the next 6 years before being able to afford the new model.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Jaus nialler you could have at least gone outside and taken the shot! :D

    Demand for saloon cars of this size in the UK is very low. They prefer the hatchback version of these cars. The Civic saloon is built in Japan and the US whereas the 3dr and 5dr hatchback Civic are built in the UK (Swindon) along with the Jazz, Accord and CR-V.

    The new Civic saloon is pretty rare over here at the moment too due to only being available as a 1.8 litre and costing around €27k. I hear a 1.4/1.6 version is on the way though for the Irish market.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    The Irish seem to like small saloons. I remember when the Vento was released, it was 6 months after Ireland got it before the UK bothered importing it.

    Mike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,366 ✭✭✭ninty9er


    Nialler- forget what Mike said. I think the lifestyle stereotype of an S-Class owner makes it acceptable to stay inside in the luxury of the house which is just slightly better than the car.

    It's not a quiet as the LS, but my God is it quiet. Shortest 3 hours of my life spent in the back of one a few weeks back


    Lafors- that Civic is classy, and I wonder how they managed to prooduce such an ugly8 hatch sibling. A taxi driver in Limerick picked me up one night in the saloon. He just picked it up the week before and was delighted with it. I must say it's a nice car. Does the 6 speed remove a lot of noise at cruising speed?????

    9r

    I'm far from the stereotype, #3 blade, wear fleeces or tshirts all the time, get some funny looks cos they think I've stolen it, spotted a bloke today about the same age as meself driving one, what was he wearing, shirt and tie, what bothers me though is that Mr Clarkson, Mr May and Mr Hammond all coughed "Merchant Banker" when mentioning the S class, is it that bad?, they said the E was all you needed.

    Clarkson drives an SL55 plus his GT, but that's just sex on wheels, Hammond drives a 911 or so we're led to believe and as for Mr May, he walks faster than he drives.

    Anyway back on topic I had one pic of my car, and the topic said new pics, so working from home I said f*ckit, not gettin off me fat lazy ar$e, I'll take a piccy with the phone (seems to be the trendy thing to do on this forum) opened a window fired the camera, stuck the bluetooth thingy into the mac and jobs oxo, new pic, sorted.

    bit drunk now, season 2 of prison break to watch, have fun!

    I have to say i don't like the hatch either, I would like to have seen a hatch version with the same nose as the saloon.

    I only have it a few days and I'm delighted aswell. The Gears are wierd...for me anyway coming from a 1.6 focus. I find that I'm turning corners too fast by putting it in 2nd....I give it too much gas....its a bit faster.
    I also put it from 2nd to 5th without really noticing, the focus wouldn't be too forgiving for that.
    The 6th gear is great for cruising, a fair bit quieter, and hopefully reduce the amount of petrol I using :)

    All in all a great car so far, i haven't found anything bad yet.

    Here's my new (to me) bus. When you live 130 miles from the office you need a bit of comfort, and the old Focus wasn't obliging....
    newcar.jpg
    It's got leather & wood, cruise control, air con and everything's electric. :D
    It's a bit long though, making multi-stories a bit of a nightmare. I nearly left my front bumper behind in the car park behind Jurys at the IFSC yesterday.
