Motors Chat Thread Round 4

Alanstrainor

Continuation from motors chat round 3

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Bloody hell, the C5 blew another headlamp. Getting sick of this now. They don't last more than 8 weeks. And they're a royal pain to replace.

I remember the horror of trying to replace the headlamps on the OHs C5, they are a right headwreck.

Some Halfords in the UK exclude them from their bulb fitting service as they take too long

Shouldn't be going after eight weeks tho!

I did already! They like them here.... And plenty of Italian stuff :cool:

While waiting for the bus a hape of taxis pulled up, all powered by vag 1.9tdi's. A harmony orchestra that was hypnotisingly crap :pac:

This place (yes, I'm outside Barcelona and haven't a clue where I am) is so bland and dull its like a desert..... Not much interesting cars here, well to me there is but tat to everyone else (diesel Lancias and Bravo's galore, bliss :cool:)

At least its nice and toasty here

Are you there on holiday?

My car is now making a rather horrible noise definitely something wrong with the suspension. It's intermittent noise not constant, can't replicate it at will, so the mechanic will have fun.

And I'm still afflicted by the plague, feel like my face is the size of the moon

I'll never get over the high end tax.

Bhp and handling are the important factor, but I also want a v8.

Get an old M5, if not then I'd try a S4

Unfortunately I'm a good 4 years off buying.
Classic insurance and all that lark.
I said ages ago the only bmw's I'm interested in was the m5 or 850 csi!
If in 4 years I can't afford one, ah well the alfa will do!:P

Well what about an old 535, that's a V8?

It's a v8 alright but I'd have an old m5 instead. That extra 100 bhp makes it justifiable in my mind!
Feck all economical difference between both.
Maintenance yeah would be more expensive but for the sake of a few extra mpg I'd take all those extra horses.

I do enjoy boost but I'm not the biggest Jaaaaag fan to begin with.

I'd go with the M3 myself if I had the choice too.

You've gotta get over this tax thing, displacement isn't everything.
I'd much rather have an E46 M3 over an XK with a big wallowing V8.

Think more about the car and less about the false economic decisions you're making!

What about an xkr?
