    You bringing the chaser to the next boardsie meet ?

    Would love to see her in the flesh

    depends when it is,

    I would love to be there but without some of the body kit it just looks like a regular bmw or camry, i have the spoiler and seatbelts on the way from Japan, €300 down. I might be able to source sideskirts and front lip for Christmas. Hope I make it.

    I reckon another dyno day would get a lot more interest than a track day for insurance reasons alone

    So. Driving home (to kylemore) from Inchicore. Idiot in an 06 silver opel corsa doing less than 40 km/h the whole way, slowing to 30 in parts. Preceding this, she rolled through a junction on a red light. No amount of beeping and flashing would get her to speed up or pull in so she was shown the tail lights and covered in soot :D

    This wasnt even a learner driver (I would have been more patient if it were, we've all been there), this was the dangerous category imo, middle aged woman.

    Max I don't know about yours, but with mine if I'm behind something like that for a good while and I gun it, I will create a cloud of smoke that you cannot see through behind you :)

    Just bought this. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/231049125063?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

    Steering wheel is in very good condition compared to mine which has most of the bare leather exposed.:(
    Had planned to get it reupholstered but was looking at a very high price for that.

    Yep. Its the only thing on the car that shows its 136k miles.
    I had planned to get it reupholstered but that was working out at over 100 anywhere i went.


    Might see if I can combine a phase 1 wooden steering wheel with the multifunction section of mine.

    A wooden mfsw was an option for the interior face lifted 156, just very few went for it.

    My steering wheel is showing no wear now actually that you say it, at 155k miles today.

    In other news my rm250 **** itself in the top end of 5th today, lower part of the piston on the exhaust side broke off and caused a massive lock up at speed!
    All this 20hrs since I last rebuilt it, should get 40ish from it before a piston change.

    Rewatching some of the old seasons of the current Top Gear, they really were way better back around season 2.

    Yes, I prefer the episodes when the jokes were funny, rather than becoming cliches of themselves. I do still enjoy the new episodes but not in the same way.

    Yes, 535d owner and proud of it!:D
